The Qu'Appelle Opera House
Air Date: March 22, 2010 11:00am
Details: The Town Hall Opera House at Qu'Appelle is a symbol of the optimism of small town Saskatchewan at the beginning of the 20th Century. It housed the town offices, fire brigade, police and the jail cells that are still in the basement. The auditorium made it the centre of the town's social life hosting talent shows, plays, dances and touring performers. Stricter fire codes have closed the auditorium and the dwindling population has made it a struggle to keep the rest of the building open. But Qu'Appelle is attracting new families and their dream of refurbishing the Town Hall Opera House and once again having music and laughter fill the auditorium just might come true.
See some of Saskatchewan's most interesting buildings through the eyes of the people who create, inhabit, restore and care for them. From vanishing aboriginal and pioneer landmarks to 21st Century expressions of urban and rural prairie life, these buildings have an interesting construction or style, serve as an example of our heritage or have played a special role in the community. From the oldest to the newest, from the grand office tower to the simple sod hut, this thirteen part series explores buildings that shape our lives and our society.
