50'x140' Lots: $1 Each
Real Estate Boom got you down? Consider a move to Kamsack, SK "The Garden of Saskatchewan", where a nicely formatted polite letter and $1 will get you a parcel of land for residential or commercial use.
Keep the grass trimmed, pay your taxes on time ($300-600/year average) and just be an all around good neighbour. A pretty though somewhat hardluck town that sprung from the loins of CN at the turn of the century, Kamsack is now trying to diversify its agricultural economy and attract retirees, families and investors through this neo-Siftonian approach to land distribution.
The railway heritage is celebrated with a little park, prettily landscaped around an old CN caboose, right near the still-active siding serving the grain elevators.
A map lays out the downtown area:
I found it a little hard to read, so I zoomed in closer to the Legend. Ah... yes. That makes sense now.

Is it just me, or is every economically-on-the-edge small town in Canada trying to woo retirees? Seems to me that Elliot Lake went down this path without much success in the long run. But hey, at least the sign's spelling seems correct.
good to see there's at least a couple of wooden grain elevators still standing there...just think, you could buy a couple of lots for a couple of bucks and drive to nearby sites like the hotel california in springside, or the ever-fun tourist attratction, 'gopherville'.
cool, thank you for the lead.
hey, you never know.
