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! 😂
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!
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!
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 🙂!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!! ❤😊
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.
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. :)
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.
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
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
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.
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 remember bing in Dundurn 66 years ago when I was 15 training one summer at the military basis as a Cameron Highlanders Cadet from Winnipeg nice video
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!
I was raised in Viscount, not far from Dundurn. Viscount is almost off the map now, heartbreaking to see it, not even a cafe left and it was booming when I left in 1956.
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
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.
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.
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. :)
Rouleau is pronounced row low. The hotel and bar used in corner gas is there still. The gas station and police station are gone. A vast majority of the interior shots for the show were shot at the studio in regina.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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.
Alina, I know that history often gets buried in time, but growing up in Saskatoon, whenever people mentioned Dundurn, they mentioned how many men and women were trained there at the Dundurn military base for WWII. I wonder if there are any plaques or commemorative displays showing the strength of the people that trained there to be sent off overseas to fight and fly planes.
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!
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. ❤️
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.
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.
It's interesting watching this video from a year ago. I was hoping to see what Rouleau looked like now, since we were there in 2007 and the set was still there. (It is available on google maps) Although we took pictures, I don't think we have any video from back then. It is my understanding the set was destroyed by fire and that is the reason it was removed. We do have various video on our channel during our trips in Saskatchewan. I am an original 1960's Saskatchewan farm boy from the Carrot River area. Love your videos.
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...
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!
The town is pronounced a rolo. I used to go there quite often when I delivered pop. I was actually delivering to the fuel station there when 9/11 happened. Never went there after or when Corner Gas was being filmed though. I have a soft spot for that part of the world but don't think I can leave the mountains. If you do another SK vid then there is always Manitou Lake which is close to Saskatoon, a lake with a higher salt and mineral content than the dead sea. There's also the big muddy area in southern SK with the giant metropolitan areas of Willow Bunch and Big Beaver. There's some pretty decent scenery, some really impressive first nation historical spots, and a few caves. Willow Bunch has a Farm Fest music festival which if you're a bit of a burnt out hippy is awesome. Then out west is the Grasslands National Park, Cypress Hills, and East End where the largest Trex in the world was found. The only issues down there are the horrible roads.
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 my countryman from east to west i think theres only one option left for us and it's to fill in a lot of these beautiful open spaces across the country so please keep your arms open when us southern ontario brothers and sisters traverse to your beautiful lands
Alina. I believe the town is Rolieu and if so my late mom was born in what they would pronounce Rolo. Again just a guess as she left in 1927 for Chilliwack BC. Thanks again for your videos. Cheers. Doug
Enjoy your time with your dad. Great videos of Canada. I know that Corner Gas has an app that would show you all the sites. Take care and keep being who you are.
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.
Hi Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a wonderful day! This is really a excellent magnificent super fantastic video! 😄👍❤️👏🇨🇦📹🥇💯💫✨🌟 The town of Dundurn and Kenaston looks really marvelous! Also the scenery view of the land is so magnificent! It is really beautiful! I would definitely like to visit the towns in Saskatchewan one day. They are really wonderful places! Thank you so much Alina to share with us this marvelous fantastic video! You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🧳🗺🥇💯🏆💫✨🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful marvelous blessed day. Take care and be safe Alina. 😊🙏❤️👋🇨🇦👍✨🌟
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.
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.
Drove across Canada once and the Saskatchewan sky was the best part of the trip...will be back again just for the prairie sky
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!
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!
Saskatchewan is so beautiful in summer.
I love how you honour and respect your father!
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! 😂
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.

Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!
I am glad I can see you in Saskatchewan again! I am still hauling grains from small towns everywhere in SK:)
Thanks for showing the real Canada and not just the famous places and cities. God Bless You always.
A Saskatchewan trip small town road trip is a stunning way!❤️❤️
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
Love your Dad’s farmer tan. 😀
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

13:57 love the train footage! and the prairie footage.

Absolutely loved this video showing the small towns . Your Dad is a real star .
Beautiful country side blog. Alina, your dad is very gentleman. He is very humble and camera shy.
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.
My favourite little town in Sask is Lumsden just north of Regina. Nice town with a river running through it.
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.

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.
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
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
Appreciate the beauty of the vastness of the prairie. Its a beauty of a special kind. Drove through in 89 .
This is what they mean byWide open plains - like the music and tour
So much to actually see. I love it. Thank you !!
Spent all my time in the area between Edmonton, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, and Melfort, so this is a trip into very mysterious, exotic locations!
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
Small town Saskatchewan is the heart of the country. Wonderful video Alina
My favorite videos of yours is with your dad in these small towns in Canada!
Somehow I am catching up watching but another great video Alina. The weather can be so unpredictable everywhere.
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.

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!
I was raised in Viscount, not far from Dundurn. Viscount is almost off the map now, heartbreaking to see it, not even a cafe left and it was booming when I left in 1956.

You captured "it".......the feel of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon will always be my home.....TNX
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.

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!
Rouleau is pronounced row low. The hotel and bar used in corner gas is there still. The gas station and police station are gone. A vast majority of the interior shots for the show were shot at the studio in regina.
Lovely as always. I love road trips and I am trying to convince my daughter to do one with me again.
Thank you so much Alina McLeod.

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 👍
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!
i love your ni
mddle of the gtrat plains so cools and the clouds at tge end thunder storm
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!
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!
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.
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
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!!
I still remember one of your previous vlogs when you visited your dad's town. your dad had come to receive you at Saskatoon airport.
Gosh. Getting a little weepy as I watch this remembering my boyhood in SK.
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 ☺️
Alina, I know that history often gets buried in time, but growing up in Saskatoon, whenever people mentioned Dundurn, they mentioned how many men and women were trained there at the Dundurn military base for WWII. I wonder if there are any plaques or commemorative displays showing the strength of the people that trained there to be sent off overseas to fight and fly planes.
I did some training in Dundurn ( Dirty Deeds Dundurn Cheap) back in the 80's.
Travelled these roads many a time since I lived in Regina for 33 years and brought up on a farm north of Biggar!
I concur with many others, love the small town journeys. Another great video!
Thank you!
Thank you Alina🌍
Thanks for the video and for reminding me of that great show.
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!

Good music selection for this video Alina!!! I enjoyed
Glad you liked it!
Always love for you both!
Small towns, quaint, interesting, less stressful, getting used to be living in them!# Cool!#
Hello from Rio ( Brazil). Congratulations for your videos! I love Canada and thank to you I can see How is beauty Canada's countryside.
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

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
Hope you and your dad had a great time.
What a lovely daughter to have, you are a lucky man!

Maybe sometime when around Calgary can show us the area Heartland is filmed in.
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!

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!
Nice road trip with your father Alina, thanks for the update. :) NC
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.

Aw that's sad to hear. It would have been a great attraction if they could have rebuilt it and made it tourist friendly.
Watching from Edmonton after drove from Saskatoon. Already homesick lol😊
