Saskatchewan Population |
What brought people to these small communities in Saskatchewan to begin with? Why have they now been deserted? This Web site provides a brief general history about the province as well as specific stories about 12 ghost towns of Saskatchewan. Maps and photographs provide directions on how to find the towns. Historical and contemporary visuals are also included.
Statistics Canada provides numerical information about the population of Canada and its provinces. At this Web site can find out about how the total population is changing in each province and territory and the origin of Canada citizens.
