Prairie Places - Osler, Saskatchewan Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

onecrazycanadian: Hi,

The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since our last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. If the owner does happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.

Thanks

Geocache Description:

A short little series highlighting some of the towns, big and small, of Saskatchewan. Most of the information below is taken from wikepedia. I hope you enjoy a quick geography lesson of our lovely province. Bring your own writing stick

Osler is a town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, founded in the 1890s. The community was named after Sir Edmund Boyd Osler (1845–1924), who was an Ontario-based explorer, railroad financier, and Member of Parliament. Osler was built along the historic Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railroad after surveying starting in 1890 by the engineering firm of Osler, Hammond and Nanton. In 1892 the station house was built. The town of Osler came into existence soon after and became one of many towns and villages to spring up along the new railroad. Osler officially became a village on April 9, 1904, and stayed a village until May 1, 1918, when it became a Hamlet. Then, in 1949 it was upgraded to organized Hamlet status. Osler became a village for a second time in 1968, and was officially designated Town of Osler in 1985. By the 1970s the railroad station had fallen into disuse and it was demolished by Canadian National Railway in 1973. The town has a museum, library, senior's center, volunteer fire department and first responders, leisure centre, two schools, and four churches. Osler is about 30 km north of Saskatoon.
