Boom town, Dafoe
Description
Boom towns or shanty towns have made their appearance at most of the remote air stations in Canada. Enterprising farmers build and tent these little shacks to the families of Air Force personnel and they are much in demand as the nearest township are either some distance away, very tiny or completely full up. Inter provisional movement is not controlled in Canada and many wives follow their husbands from station to station. Most of these stations were training schools under the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS), Dafoe, Saskatchewan, Canada.
