It took energy to survive and thrive in small-town Canada in the early twentieth century. Today, we may wonder where all that energy has gone. Is it merely a distant memory? Does it still have an impact on society? 

​

The story of Meskanaw, Saskatchewan is about the 'little community that could". Those of us who hail from the prairies will recall our small towns and villages. Like Meskanaw, each had its spark of energy, something special that made the settlement unique. History is created by circumstances, stories, and people, and the tales of our home towns and their energy continue to enrich our lives and our heritage.​
