RE: Insinger Saskatchewan... A Canadian Ghost Town... Exploring old homesteads.
It looks like a ghost city and it's quite interesting to see that stuff that was randomly left behind. It's interesting to see that this building are left in such state. Obviously someone must still own them as otherwise the country would take care of them, or not? I just assume this is what would happen where I live :)
Great photos and interesting expedition! :) Congratulations on your curie vote!
Here in rural Canada usually they don't bother to tear down older buildings, they just let them return to the earth. In cities the government take the land and try to resell it. If nobody wants to buy it they tear it down. In farm areas there really aren't a lot of people to complain about vacant buildings. But like you said someone must own some of them as at the church the grass had been cut. I didn't go close to any buildings with cut grass as to me it feels like trespassing because obviously than some owner is making an effort to keep the place up. :-)
