Between 1887 & 1970, more than 5000 rural school districts existed in SK. As the education system became more centralized, standard construction criteria was established so that schoolhouses could be built quickly and economically. (R-P9.19)

Sharing the third and last Vacation Trail to be covered by @ProvArchivesSK this summer. Maybe we will see more shared with the public next year?!

SK Vacation Trail 4: Sask-Man focusses on NE SK, from Prince Albert east to Hudson Bay and north to Flin Flon following the Hanson Lake Road. This brochure from 1967 highlights points of interest such as Nipawin Prov Park, Pasquia Regional Park, Fort à la Corne, and Flin Flon.

This #TBT photo of a small-town hotel bar is Moosomin’s Hotel Grand bar circa 1910 (R-A19041(1)). Using the large mirror, it is possible to gauge the size of the bar. With no chairs, a bar would not need as much space. There is less covering the floor…and the mess upon it!

Loving the small town hotel bar throwbacks!

This photo of the bar in Raymore is undated (R-A20641). One can assume, however, that it was taken before July 1, 1915. Why? On July 1, 1915, Prohibition was introduced in SK and all bars were closed. SK remained dry until 1924 but bars were only allowed to operate again in 1935.

In 1965, the SK Centennial Corporation initiated the Vacation Trails program. SK Vacation Trail #7: Riel includes points of interest such as Golden Gate Animal Park, South Branch House, Fort Carlton, Elbow-Fort à la Corne Trail, Batoche, and Seager Wheeler.

Saskatchewan Vacation Trail #1: Cannington Souris focusses on SE SK from the MB border westward to Weyburn. This brochure from 1967 highlights points of interest such as the Boundary Commission Trail, Short Creek Camp, Roche Percée, Cannington Manor, Wauchope, & Carlyle Pow-wow.

In 1965, the Saskatchewan Centennial Corporation initiated the Vacation Trails program. This program was designed to familiarize both visitors and residents with areas of great interest within the province. By 1967, Canada’s centennial, there were eight “trails” to discover.

@ProvArchivesSK Also not a Canada Goose! When I was watching for the northern lights the other night, a Wilson’s Snipe kept calling and calling, so I’ll choose him as my current fave. It tends to change 😅 🐦

This is the Trans-Canada Highway in 1926… (R-A16820(2))

The urge to update your book progress even when you just read two pages is just so strong.

The William Pearson Company, Ltd.’s primary purpose in SK was to settle the Last Mountain and Qu'Appelle Valleys with American settlers. These lantern slides collection would have been curated to show all the positives of SK living; they wanted to convince folks to move here!
