Fond Memories of Gallivan, Saskatchewan

The Hamlet of Gallivan was located near highway 40 between the Battlefords and Cut Knife in West- Central,  Saskatchewan, Canada 

 

I grew up on a farm near Gallivan, Saskatchewan, where the land stretched as far as the eye could see and the rhythm of life was guided by the seasons. The farm was more than a place to live—it was a classroom, a playground, and a sanctuary. From an early age, I learned essential life skills: how to care for animals, how to nurture a garden, and how to meet challenges with resilience.

But beyond the work, the farm was rich with love and security. My mentors were family members whose wisdom came not from books, but from lived experience. Adventures were woven into daily life—exploring fields, chasing the horizon, and finding magic in the ordinary. Those years instilled in me a strong foundation of stability, mentorship, and belonging. They gave me memories that continue to inspire the way I live, and the way I share my journey with others today.


Now there is a marker to indicate where the Hamlet once was.
