What Life Is Like In Canadian Small Towns | Hafford, Saskatchewan

You've probably never seen THIS SIDE of Canada. Saskatchewan is right in the middle of the country and is known for being the heart of the agriculture industry. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada or simply visiting, I hope this video will inspire you to take a visit to Saskatchewan! There are so many small towns in the province and sometimes they have a population of only a couple hundred people. The way of life is much different than life in big city, so I thought I would give you guys an inside look to life on the farm and showing the amenities of our closest town which is called Hafford. Hope you guys enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments! xx

To really know what it's like to be Canadian, you have to live in a small town for awhile. People are warmer, wind is colder, and you will encounter wisdom not found in books.
Small towns grow big hearts.

Ur dad is a great person. He's a person who is supplying food to many of the people in Canada. Be proud of him.

I hitchhiked all of Canada from coast to coast in 1973 and '74, and one the favourite parts of my trip was sleeping under the stars near Swift Current. Saskatchewan is all sky and worth a trip in itself. There's no place like it.

A Saskatchewan farmer visits Alberta:
" Ya, those mountains are pretty, but they kinda block your view! "

In Saskatchewan, if your dog ran away 3 days ago, you can still see it.

I emigrated from the U.S. when I was about 25 and I started my Canadian life in Saskatchewan. I was in university in Saskatoon, but I traveled all over the province. I loved it! Beautiful landscapes, people very friendly. I remember walking to university one -30 morning and someone just stopped and offered me a ride - just because it was cold. I recently visited Saskatoon to see a friend, just before the Covid lockdown. Fond memories! Thanks for posting this video.

I grew up in Unity, lived in Lloyminster, Marsden, Lone Rock, Estevan, Carlyle, Paradise Hill, Big River. Northern half of the province is Canadian Sheild, rugged, wild & poluted with beautiful pristeen lakes & rivers full of fish & wild life.

I spent my first year in Canada in Saskatchewan, 7 years go. Beautiful province, with even more beautiful people. I still miss those saskatoonberry pies

Your video reminds me of where I grew up, on a farm a few miles south of Tioga, North Dakota. There were only 350 people in Tioga, mostly Scandinavians and a few people of Irish and German descent, in my elementary school years, so my class only had twelve students until the seventh grade. At that time, oil was discovered and the size of my class doubled the next year with students from the oil industry in Oklahoma and Texas. We learned about new foods like grits, black eyed peas, okra, etc form them and they learned about lefse and scandinavian pastry from us. I learned to drive very young, but only on the farm. I had my first fender bender at age 11. I picked rocks, drove tractor with implements in the fields, and hauled grain in harvest season. The school which housed all grades from 1 to 12 (no kindergarten in the fifties) was the center of community activities. In a small school you can participate in all activities, including band, chorus, basketball, football, and baseball. And, you know everyone, so children have a lot of independence because all the parents know each other and look out for not only their own children, but also the children of others. In winter there was skating and cross country skiing (or behind a car) since there are no mountains. In the summers there was swimming and fishing in the lakes and streams, hunting, horseback riding, and a lot of exploring of anything and everything. We used to go fishing for pike in Saskatchewan. When I graduated from high school I went to college at the University of California, Berkeley and never returned to North Dakota, but I go back for every high school reunion. It was certainly a rewarding and lasting life experience.

Old farm owner Derek farmed a small farm in Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety claimed he was not paying proper wages to his workers and sent an agent out to interview him.


“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them, ” demanded the agent.


“Well, ” replied old Derek, “There’s my ranch hand from Mexico who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there’s the half-wit hoser who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90 percent of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”


“That’s the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit hoser, ” says the agent.


“That would be me, ” replied old farmer Derek.

As a fellow Ukrainian from a small town in far northern Alberta it brings a smile to my face to see some coverage on small town life in Canada. In a vast Country like Canada it feels at times that us Albertans are by ourselves in terms of a sense of community. Through all that I always remember that Saskatchewan is of similarity to Alberta in the sense of community and because of that I always see Saskatchewanians as my brothers and sisters.
Happy I came across this gem of a channel, you earned yourself a sub.

Lived in Saskatoon for 25 years. Beautiful city in the summer but winters are very cold. If you like wide open space, Saskatchewan is an amazing province with great people.

Love your spirit. It is so great to see someone who has not forgotten their roots and proud of where they were from. I am originally from Malaysia and have been residing in Los Angeles for the last 35 years. I have been to small town Saskatchewan. I graduated from University of Saskatchewan. I love the simplicity and the work ethics of the Saskatchewan people. Love your videos. New to your channel.

As an American I have extensive knowledge of another town in Saskatchewan called Dog River. When you said you have a liquor store with an insurance company I laughed because so does Dog River.
