Neidpath, Saskatchewan Ghost Town
Five Canadian Abandoned Ghost Towns
In late 2019, I had an idea to visit abandoned ghost towns and villages in every Canadian province and territory.
This idea came after reading the book “The Whisper on the Night Wind” by Canadian explorer and author, Adam Shoalts. Adam and I had worked together on a new way to help promote his newest book, I would read the book, interview him and do a video review about it. I got to speak with Adam at great lengths about this adventure and his many others.
The book is about an adventure that Adam and his friend Zach embarked upon to find the lost ghost town of Traverspine in Labrador and investigate sightings of the Traverspine Gorilla. You can learn much more about this on Adam’s website here:

I started researching and planned to start with the many abandoned fishing villages and ghost towns in Labrador and then visit a different province or territory every year.
This monumental goal was to start in May 2020 - but then the world shut down!
Fast forward to 2022 and things were getting back to normal and 2023 would be the year where I started this project and I decided to start in Saskatchewan. In addition to several other places of interest in Saskatchewan, I visited 5 separate ghost towns on my trip.
I did visit a smaller ghost town in Quebec in 2022, while it’s not a true ghost town, it looks a lot like one. It was a movie set for a film called “The Education of Little Tree” from 1997 - the set was built on private property and most of the buildings are still there today.
In 2024, I took on what is probably the most ambitious ghost town in all of Canada, Anyox, BC. I spent one whole week in Anyox documenting as much of it as I could.
For this weekend's video and posts, we are featuring 5 of the ghost towns that I have visited:

This project continues, in 2025 I will visit some of the ghost towns right here in Ontario, in August I am travelling to Alberta, Canada and in 2026 - I am heading to the Arctic, but I haven’t yet decided where yet. Adam Shoalts highly recommended that I go to the Yukon, and I think I am leaning that way!
Here is the video featuring these five abandoned ghost towns from 3 different Canadian provinces.
