the town of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan is where i grew up. it's where i get most of my memories of Western Canada from.
when i say i'm from the frozen wastes, i really mean it.
population: 6000 (to give you an idea, that's half the size of Candiac)
location: about 5 hours NORTH of Saskatoon. what's higher, you ask? just about nothing. according to the map, long stretches of lonely (and likely frozen) highways with itty bitty towns every few hours. The Cold Lake Air Weapons Range, "the only tactical bombing range in Canada" is situated not far away.
location-wise, it's about on the level with Edmonton. It also happens to have been at the northernmost edge of what was originally the Saskatchewan territory, bordering the Athabasca territory before the provinces were officially established in 1905.
this historic/factual moment brought to you by Wikipedia and extreme amounts of random boredom.
