Railway & Main: Small-Town Saskatchewan Hotels

Hotels are one of the oldest and most common forms of business enterprise in rural Saskatchewan.

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.
