  • Constructed in 1913 and upgraded in 1957 and 1974, this is an excellent example of a traditional wooden cribbed-construction, gable-roofed elevator with gable-roofed cupola. The "standard plan" elevator, circa 1910 - 1965, typically stood 50 to 60 feet high, with approximately 40,000 bushel capacity. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool donated the elevator to the Village of Elbow in 2007 to use as a museum.

  • Wellington and Ollie White had to have known the were onto something, when they made their way from Moose Jaw to the shores of Little Manitou Lake in the 1920s. The little resort town was booming, the most popular destination on the prairies. They tore down the old Danceland that had been here before Manitou Beach incorporated in 1919, and built a grand, new dance hall, with horsehair-cushioned maple hardwood flooring. When they flung open the doors for the first time in 1928, it must have been quite the night. Danceland hasn’t stood still since.

  • The sounds of laughter, hands slapping water and toes churning waves carry a long way across Little Manitou Lake. Floating so high and buoyant makes you giggle.

  • When they used to arrive by special excursion train from all across the prairies, they took to Little Manitou Lake in small wooden boats. Today they drive by car and play on inflatable dinghies and personal watercraft. Times change, but summertime at Manitou Beach is timeless.

  • In school, we colour summer green and blue. When we are let out for the summer, we learn that it’s all the boldest, brightest hues in the biggest box of pencil crayons. If it’s a good summer, we wear those colours down to the tiniest nubs, so that we can start with a fresh box next year.

  • The laughter of families in the still air of a hot day mingles like sounds you hear in a dream. Saskatchewan summer smells like fries and onion rings and everything good. It tastes like frosty strawberry milkshakes and drippy chocolate-dipped soft ice cream cones. It is cool, salty waves lapping at your feet and sun-warmed beach sand on your back.

  • Gulls and dragonflies enjoy the warmth on the first day of fall, as the sun dips toward the waters of Little Manitou Lake, Saskatchewan. Perhaps the music of the previous Saturday night carries them as it lingers across the waves and drifts into the air.

  • This steel truss bridge spanned the South Saskatchewan River, joining <br />
the settlement of Nutana with the town of Saskatoon and village of <br />
Riversdale. The promise of the first road bridge to cross the river led to <br />
the amalgamation of the settlements to form the new City of Saskatoon <br />
in 1906. The bridge opened in 1907. It was demolished in 2016.
