Louisbourg, NS, In Lloydminster, Sk/AB
 
 

Our story: Well, we trekked west for what seemed like years, dragging our belongings behind us, never stopping for rest, not knowing when our next meal was........

Sorry, wrong story, I'll find it here somewhere.....just a second. Oh yeah, that's how Lloydminster first started. Most of us took a plane here, only 5 hours; isn't modern technology great. Some did drive here from Louisbourg.  Usually driving takes 4 days on average.

And how did we find ourselves here? Well, it was kind of like that old game that kids once played, "Follow the Leader."   But...one guy came here, and the rest followed. You know, just like the exodus, though we can't figure out who the Moses of Lloyminster is yet. And it was unemployment and not the Egyptians that made us leave Louisbourg and Cape Breton.

So who are the dispossessed that have found their way up here from our little hamlet, well the list is kind of long......some have stayed, some have moved on, and some have gone back home. The pull of home is great, for everyone.
