Saskatchewan may not offer the best attractions or opportunities compared to other Canadian provinces, but it does offer a much more peaceful and budget friendly way of life. If you can tolerate the very cold winters and are able to secure a local/remote job, you might find that this is one of the best places to live when Canada is currently going through a cost of living crisis. Melfort is a small city of 6,000 people in the northeast of Saskatchewan. It offers many different amenities like shopping, restaurants, swimming pool, skating rink, golf course and a lovely park. The job market is not as vast as larger centers, but it does have quite a few local industries and many opportunities for working in agriculture. Would you live in the small city of Melfort, SK?

Being from Québec I must admit that living in Sk for 3 years (CFB Moose Jaw) was a bit a cultural shock. I must also say that the people were very welcoming, family oriented with traditional values, honest. And what an amazing sky! 😍

I would happily live in a city like Melfort. It’s a shame that malls in general are failing. I can’t really understand why since our cold climate makes the idea of going to a mall much more desirable than running through the cold and snowy winters for one’s shopping needs.

@Hemant.s 7 ай бұрын

Online shopping killed the mall

@outinthesticks1035 6 ай бұрын

One thing I think killed the mall , most of what the mall stores sell is not any necessity. For your daily needs you can go to Canadian tire , no frills , co-op , Peavey mart , marks work warehouse or if absolutely needed 😢 Walmart I cannot remember the last time I was in the local mall , it's been years . And the only business I can think of that I would use is "the source"

Hi Alina! I recall driving through Melfort only once, while I was a grad student at the University of Saskatchewan decades ago. When driving north from Saskatoon to Waskesiu Lake, Montreal Lake and/or La Ronge, we would typically drive through or stop in Prince Albert (or PA) for gas and/or eats. It's nice to experience Melfort again, with you and your dad!
