  • Growing up Jewish on the Prairies: Rural Manitoba and Saskatchewan
    1 Growing up Jewish on the Prairies: Rural Manitoba and Saskatchewan By Chana Thau, Winnipeg, MB, February 14, 2012 Introduction The Jewish population of Manitoba is located almost entirely in Winnipeg. Many Winnipeg Jews, especially younger ones, know nothing of the days when Jews lived on farms and small towns throughout the region. Yet a surprising number of Winnipeggers have roots outside of Winnipeg, in Manitoba and Saskatchewan towns. They remember their origins vividly and, for the most part, fondly. Jews began coming to Canada, to the Prairies, in the late 1800s. Farm colonies were established with the assistance of the Jewish Colonization Association (JCA). In Saskatchewan, there were settlements at Moosomin (New Jerusalem) and Wapella, and later at Sonnenfeld, Edenbridge and Hirsch, near Estevan. In Manitoba, there were colonies at Camper (New Hirsch) and Bender Hamlet, near Narcisse. The Russian immigrants came to escape persecution and pogroms in Tsarist Russia; others came to escape compulsory conscription, or poor economic or social conditions in their country of origin. Whether they had any experience with farming or not, they came ‐ in response to the government’s offers of free land and freedom in Canada, or to the encouragement of their relatives or friends who were already there. Jewish settlement in Canada was not undertaken in pursuit of ideological goals. The JCA assisted settlers because it believed that shifting the emphasis of Jewish life from trade to agriculture would reduce anti‐Semitism among gentiles. Imagine their dismay when they arrived and found heavily forested land that required clearing in order to build a primitive house and plant crops (Lehr 23).

  • Varsity View History
    Varsity View Yesterday & Today Historical Overview The history of Varsity View began during Saskatoon’s first economic boom. Limited development of the area began around 1912, when the first home in the area was built by a prominent businessman and real estate owner, Richard M. Bottomley. His land, known as Bottomley Addition, was bound by College Dr. to the north, Osler St. to the south, Cumberland Ave. to the east and Clarence Ave. to the west. Early on, other areas in today’s Varsity View were identified as University Annex, Varsity Park, and College Park.1 All of these areas exploited the proximity of the University of Saskatchewan by using it as a marketing tactic and including a reference to the university in the neighbourhood’s name.2 Varsity View began as, and still is today, an ethnically diverse neighbourhood with many scholastic institutions. While the area we now call Varsity View had been annexed before 1913, development along Elliot St. and College Dr. did not begin until the 1920s, and the rest of the area was not substantially built until the 1950s.3 In later years, the four subdivisions in Varsity View were combined into two areas, Albert and Brunskill, most likely after the two schools in the area. The subdivision is now known as Varsity View, and it is bound by College Dr. to the north, 8th St. to the south, Cumberland Ave. to the east, and Clarence Ave. to the west. The following section is merely an overview of the neighbourhood. More information about Varsity View and the City of Saskatoon can be found by researching the references provided, and contacting the City Archivist, Saskatoon Heritage Society and the Local History Room at the Saskatoon Public Library.
