At the dawn of the last century, more than two million Europeans immigrated to the prairies of western Canada. The Canadian government, wanting to significantly boost its agricultural production and strengthen its political stronghold, heavily promoted western Canada to European settlers. The settlers set up farms and small towns across the vast and harsh landscape.

At its peak, the Insinger ghost town was home to 100 residents and had two general stores, shops, a hotel, a church, and a school. But as the years passed, people moved away...or moved on. Today, the buildings are empty and falling into ruin.
