- You think there's not a lot goin' on..... and you'd be right lolol. But in all fairness, I LOVE touring Saskatchewan small towns once in a while because there really aren't many places in the world where towns like this still exist. Join me and my Dad as we drive from Saskatoon to Regina and stop in some charming little towns along the way. If you've ever watched the Canadian TV show Corner Gas, you're probably familiar with what these places are like, but if you haven't, this will definitely give you some insight. Hope you enjoy the video! xx

I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid.

The small towns are the heart of Saskatchewan… they’re a constant wherever you go, and the heart of Saskatchewan would be gone if those towns were ever destroyed. And yes, I was raised and still live in small town Saskatchewan! 😂
Drove across Canada once and the Saskatchewan sky was the best part of the trip...will be back again just for the prairie sky
So nice you’re able to spend time with your Dad this summer. Nice daughter and nice Dad! We love you more for being a thoughtful daughter, Alina!
Your small town videos are some of my favorites, and this one's no exception. An excellent and insightful video overall 👏
Aw thank you so much!
You are right, they're mine too! I live in Toronto and love seeing these!
Saskatchewan is so beautiful in summer.
I love how you honour and respect your father!
Thanks for showing the real Canada and not just the famous places and cities. God Bless You always.
Always wanted to visit the prairie provinces, I think they are beautiful! Definitely on my bucket list! Life is better on back roads, Thanks for posting this video!
A Saskatchewan trip small town road trip is a stunning way!❤️❤️
I must say thank you Alina. These videos from your home environment are really good. As a viewer, you bring me closer. Hope you understand. Closer to your feeling your upgrowing. These videos are more personal. And I thank you for that. And the music is good. Aspecially thanks for the scene when you fly the drone and the train and the whisseling song. Oh you are good. And thank you. Please go on beeing "the special beautiful you". And many thanks to your dad, for making this possible. Just beeing himself!
I am glad I can see you in Saskatchewan again! I am still hauling grains from small towns everywhere in SK:)
Really well done. I love when you highlight the small towns of Saskatchewan.
My father was born in Benito Manitoba.
My grandparents had a farm there back then .
My grandfather was Polish/ Ukrainian it does my heart good to see these videos .
It reminds me of the summers we would visit my great grandparents who lived on the Canadian Prarie
Another beautiful portraya of Canada! The music you had here was just perfect too like some of your other Canadian vids! Felt like I was watching scenes from a full feature movie :). Usually I think of mountains as more scenic, but you really captured the beauty of the prairie here. Best part of my day 🙂!
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!
So much to actually see. I love it. Thank you !!
Nice video.
It gives us a glimpse of how a rural part of Canada and its small towns look like.
The easy going way as you present combines with the atmosphere existent in the places shown.
Lovely as always. I love road trips and I am trying to convince my daughter to do one with me again.
You do a great overview of all your travels. Have only travelled through Saskatchewan on the train long ago so really good to get an better idea of the place. Love that you go exploring with your Dad. Fantastic.
Love your Dad’s farmer tan. 😀
You were not kidding when you said that you like to go off the beaten path!! Actually, I personally love these video's of small town living just as much as the big city excitement. There is so much of this world that people miss and get the wrong impression of all the different sides of living in the world. I know that you will cover them all, and always make the trip the most interesting. Loved the music you used here, and for sharing what you saw through your eyes. Continue being safe, and enjoy every minute of your time in Canada !! Cheers!!! ❤😊
I’m very glad to hear that. My pleasure!
I have lived in small towns since my father passed away. I feel relieved and happy I don’t have to think that I miss my beloved parents and begin shedding tears again over a past I can’t bring back. So I can relate to your growing up in small town Saskatchewan. The best thing about small town life is knowing nothing bad happens living in it and I have no regrets about where I’ve spent a good part of my life. Your video conveys a pastoral delight that’s the opposite of the reality of our world. Its like a dream you never want to wake up from.
Absolutely loved this video showing the small towns . Your Dad is a real star .
A few good places to visit is the great sand dunes south of leader. Also Castle butte and ogema which is south of rouleau. Claybank is near that too
Beautiful road trip, love prarie small towns and the old elevators against the prarie skies. Nice seeing the trains rolling through the farmlands. Thanks for sharing Alina and Gordie. :)
Many thanks! :)
Small town Saskatchewan is the heart of the country. Wonderful video Alina
I concur with many others, love the small town journeys. Another great video!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video and for reminding me of that great show.
This video increases to me the sensation that Canada, being such a giant country in size, is so scarcely populated. I imagine what those roads look like in the winter seeing white snow until the eyes can see.
Yes winter driving in SK especially can be crazy with the weather.
Saskatchewan had more rural population in 1939.Many areas around the world are much the same,Russia and many others.Lately there has been a movement back to the land for obvious reasons.
But so many lockdowns for so long, do depressing. Canada.
How old is your dad? He gets around well and looks healthy living in Sask..👍 and still driving road trips 💪
Nice flat country site 👍
I love small towns - thank you for taking us through them. It’s great to see your dad in the video. Love that region you are in and definitely like to visit that portion of providence. Alina my again your videos are great.
Thanks very much, Paul!
Altough I live in a big town, I enjoy your road trips to small towns with your dad. There is that sense of tranquility present in small towns. Good for a short holiday.
I lived about 3 miles east of Dundurn on a colony, in the late 60s n middle 70 s till I married away , but still have relatives there , to me it still feels like home ❤
I love Corner Gas. Having grown up in small town Idaho, I saw so many parallels in the humor and ways of thinking. Anyway, enjoyable adventure, as usual.
I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and Corner Gas was one of my favorite comedies! Appreciated that there was no "canned laughter" imbedded in the show!
Small town Canada and small town America are a lot alike
@@karenschneberger2655 agreed, no laugh track is so appealing!
nice to see, I enjoy watching such a small town, very neat and clean. your father is a very gentle and cool person, respect to him
Spent all my time in the area between Edmonton, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, and Melfort, so this is a trip into very mysterious, exotic locations!
Loved the video. The countryside in North America with all these peaceful small towns, the grain elevators, long freight trains and of course the tractors 🚜 it's great. Love to be there every time I can.
My Dad was the CO of Camp Dundurn 1969-1971. I was 6 when we left. Cool to see Dundurn some day I’ll go back for a look. I will definitely check out Big Murr’s
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! Your dad is so cute! And you are so beautiful my sister
big murs is so cool! great shots of that place Alina
Good music selection for this video Alina!!! I enjoyed
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful country side blog. Alina, your dad is very gentleman. He is very humble and camera shy.
Always love for you both!
My favorite videos of yours is with your dad in these small towns in Canada!
Thanks for sharing this video Miss Alina.Cool 👌 small but very peaceful town (Dundurn) regards to your Dad.👋Kenanston wow only 300's people living there...love the scenic view of canola farm.
Appreciate the beauty of the vastness of the prairie. Its a beauty of a special kind. Drove through in 89 .
Alina and her dad are awesome. Great video. Dundurn reminds me of beautiful Kansas full of cornfields and no mountains but so beautiful in its own way. Many blessings to you both.
Thanks, Samuel!
Nice road trip with your father Alina, thanks for the update. :) NC
Just discovered you and this channel. Love your content on Canada. Haven't watched any non-Canada content yet. Love how close you are to your parents. Cheers.
you learn something every day...shit flowers...lol....made my day ..cool father !!!!
The towns in Saskatchewan resemble the towns in other parts of Canada 👍 I also love how the landscape shifts from a mix of prairie and forest in the first two towns to almost complete steppe as you go further south, a beautiful natural feature that continues across the border all the way to Western Texas. Thanks for the tours.
Alina Mcleod , I really like your videos , i saw most of them . keep going with this great videos . also you may add more videos about canada for the ppl who are new in it .
have a good day .
*GOD BLESS MY FAVOURITE TRAVEL TH-camR AND HER DAD!*
Just wonderful! Road trips are my passion and this awesome video is amazing and shows the endless panoramas of Canada and this small town is truly nice. Also here in Italy people are leaving big countries for smaller little towns Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with your lovely dad.
Aw thanks so much, Gabriella!
Hi Alina and dad! Thanks for taking us along on your travels! Fun! The town where Corner Gas was filmed is pronounced
ROW-LOW. I wasn't aware that the gas station and Ruby had been removed! That's too bad because it certainly was a great tourist stop!!
I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you and dad on more travels!!
You are a sweetheart. On your last video I requested you a vlog on Regina and here you are on a road trip to Regina. ❤️ Such an adorable darling..
Thank you so much. ❤️
You've taught me almost everything I know about an ever-growing list of places around the world. With Saskatchewan there is no "almost": every town I can name is because of a video on your channel. And every sitcom :) The skies are immensely beautiful, both in good weather and bad...
Aw I'm so glad :)
Somehow I am catching up watching but another great video Alina. The weather can be so unpredictable everywhere.
Stop making me miss Saskatchewan!!! I love your videos ❤
Wow, I love Canada so much ❤
missing you Alina followed you Vlogs 26 country already .Thanks for take me to see so many different thing around the worlds Good luck.
A fantastic video with your dad. Only found your channel recently while looking for videos on Vancouver. Loving your channel. 👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇦
Thank you so much 😁

Gosh. Getting a little weepy as I watch this remembering my boyhood in SK.
Love your choice of music Alena! Nice to see how you are doing, also. My kids went to school with you in Kinistino. Keep smiling and looking for your rainbow. :)
Thank you very much!
Awe i loveee corner gas!:) wish i could've gone there when the set was still up...
also p.s I know LOTS of Mcleods where I live probably know some of your uncles and nephews lol
When you drive through the small towns of Saskatchewan. They all have a certain charm to them. it all goes back to that notion that if you live in one. Everybody knows your name. Thank you for
a wonderful road trip. You too Gordy Magoo. Sending you lots of love 💖💖💖 Harriet, Jim and Yuki . Richmond. Va.
That is very true ☺️
13:57 love the train footage! and the prairie footage.
Hi Alina I really enjoyed watching your new videos on Western Canada. I am going on my first trip ever to Vancouver in couple of weeks! ..In fact I think your videos on Canada and Europe is your best work. Sask. seems like really nice to visit, I always get comments from my friends here in Toronto, "Oh Saskatchewan there's nothing to see!" well I am certainly going to tell them to watch Alina Mcleod's videos on TH-cam! And your Dad seems really cool, very good comedy relief! 👍🏻 p..s I am writing this on Sept 5, day after the terrible tragedy in Sask. I hope your Dad and everyone in Sask. is doing ok
from fellow Canadian in Toronto. 😥 ~ Melissa from Toronto
Your Pops is way Cool! You always put out great perspective on life no matter what part of the world we find you!
Thank you!
You captured "it".......the feel of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon will always be my home.....TNX
Great to see tours of rural Sask. The short & welcoming elevator in Kenaston (your pronounceantion was slightly off, but nobodys going to bother you too much about it.), was tore down shortly after this video was shot. It was used, as pointed out by your dad for the farms' grain storage and as a seed cleaning plant.
My Dad grew up in Arcola, Sask., and we went there every summer (from Alberta) to visit my grandparents. This video brought back so many memories of driving through SK, those small towns and flat prairies. I'm now living in New Zealand and I'm really homesick as I haven't been able to get back there for a few years. Thanks for showing your travels!
Aw I'm so glad!
My favourite little town in Sask is Lumsden just north of Regina. Nice town with a river running through it.
This is what they mean byWide open plains - like the music and tour
That war memorial in Kenaston shows 6 names. In my English village (pop 450 since the 1100s and not changed much) the cenotaph shows 14 names. Likely a similar proportion of the young men. I took an interest as my Dad fought with the Canadian division in Normandy
My favorite video, there is so many neat things to see right near Blaine lake, I could be your tour guide maybe one day 🇨🇦
this series is real canada adventure. exploration, discovery and just in general seeing what there is to see in the world around us. great work, more adventure large and small please.
Thank you!
Thank you Alina🌍
Hope you and your dad had a great time.
I liked your vlog and Happy Saturday
Our country is awesome and your dad is a straight up sort of guy. I'd like to have a beer with him one of these days. Cheers from The Rock !!!👍
Excellent trip, glad you're a Canadian resident again. I hope it is temporarily sufficient relative to your wandering nature.
haha it's always nice to come back for a while
Thanks ! For show casing Saskatchewan !
Wonderful video of small-town Saskatchewan! For the record, it's pronounced Roe-low. I have to travel around the province a lot for my job and I love it!
if you're traveling through Winnipeg, it would be so cool to get a drink with you guys!! 🖤🖤🖤 I think that eventually smaller towns are going to make a huge comeback. I've been saying that for years now. I sure hope so anyway. I love your dad!! 😊 my buddies and I stopped at the corner gas set on our way to Vancouver, years ago.
Hello from Rio ( Brazil). Congratulations for your videos! I love Canada and thank to you I can see How is beauty Canada's countryside.
Thank you i enjoyed watching this video
So nice video, greetings from your fan in Argentina!!!
Thank you very much!
My grandfather had a farm in Saskatoon in the 1920’s and 30’s ! I am about your father’s age but it seems like your grandparents may have gone to school with my mother and her siblings ? Small school and small World ! At that time Saskatoon was the furthest North city in Canada 🇨🇦. Great video - thank you. Very nostalgic for me to see that part of the country my relatives would talk about often.
Travelled these roads many a time since I lived in Regina for 33 years and brought up on a farm north of Biggar!
Hi Alina! I'm enjoying the small-town scenic road trip from Saskatoon to Regina with you and your dad! In the day did not frequently travel to Regina. But several times we did venture out to Mount Blackstrap on the outskirts of Dundern. Mount Blackstrap is/was one of world's few artificial mountains (the 'pimple on the Prairie'), originally created as a ski hill for the Canada Winter Games. It's nice to see the wide-open Prairie sky and landscape once again!
Haha nice, I didn’t know blackstrap had that nickname
Oh yeah, that is really pretty country!
I don't blame you for driving on, tornados are very dangerous. I am sure people will move out of the cities in the future, to places like that.
That tavern had a photo of Jack Nicholson in The Shining! When he burst through the door with an ax and said "Here's Johnny!" ....😅😆
i love your ni
mddle of the gtrat plains so cools and the clouds at tge end thunder storm
Love the Saskatchewan video's. We're from Toronto with a soft spot for the prairie's
I always enjoy tagging along with you Alina. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta when I was 18 - 64 years ago. I live in Calgary with a population of 1.4 Million; about 400,000 more than the Province of Saskatchewan. SK definitely has a charm all of its own - a good lot of that because of the great people that call it home.
Definitely a very special place
Your dad's carefree and absolutely normal way of being in the vlog was amusing 😀His no nonsense attitude reminded me of the kid named Luke from Impractical Jokers. In that episode the Jokers have a challenge to leave Luke with a stranger. Your dad gave a vibe like Luke.
Lived in P.A.,Allan,used to travel every weekend to somewhere different,fished and flew round Central Saskatchewan lakes,East End,Watson,pleasant dale and many more,loved them all especially the people
Saskatchewan summer weather is so unpredictable. Sunny to stormy weather out of nowhere 😵💫
Ah, small prairie towns each almost every one has something interesting. I remember reading that Corner Gas set had caught fire so they knocked it down for safety reasons. A couple years ago got caught in the edge of a tornado near Manitoba Saskatchewan border and had my windshield wipers cleaned off my truck in the accompanying hail storm. and was lucky to get into a pull off since couldn't see through rain and hail. I did same thing your Dad did, saying those clouds don't look good, and within minutes was proved right. I'm firmly in the Saskatoon over Regina camp probably cause I spent more time in Regina. Great video of the pass by towns.
Aw that's sad to hear. It would have been a great attraction if they could have rebuilt it and made it tourist friendly.
Yay its an Alina Video in my feed :D I will watch. And its her hometown Canada Saskatchewan 🐒💞💞💕💕💖💖
Like Always, good soundtracks choices
I would to know what kinde of agricultures they do in thouse areas
Keep doing your best, i love your vlogs, thank's
