Railway & Main: Small-Town Saskatchewan Hotels

Hotels are one of the oldest and most common forms of business enterprise in rural Saskatchewan. The fact that Saskatchewan’s tenacious old hotels still stand on the corners of Railway and Main is a testament to the determination of the people who have owned and operated them over the past 100 years - and to the fact that they haven't burned down!

About Me

My photo
Joan Champ
I once took a huge cut in pay to work as a museum researcher. Even though my office was in a back room of a back room, I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven. I love stories and I especially love the journey of discovery that is historical research. My love of stories led me to study western Canadian history at the University of Saskatchewan where I earned a master’s degree. My knowledge of history opened the door to a career at the Western Development Museum, first in exhibit production and finally as the chief executive officer for all four WDMs. Since I retired from the WDM in 2016, I have written history columns for several community newspapers throughout Saskatchewan. My husband Gordon Brewerton and I live in North Battleford.
