Relief, Coal, and Bread Tickets: How Gull Lake Endured the Dirty Thirties
Drawn from the council minutes preserved in Gull Lake Memories: A History of the Town of Gull Lake , this account traces how our community weathered the hardest decade in its history—one coal delivery, one bread ticket, and one council motion at a time. When the Great Depression settled over Western Canada, it didn’t arrive suddenly. It crept into towns like Gull Lake—first as shrinking tax rolls, then as empty coal sheds, and finally as families appearing before council in s

Kids, Community, and the Long Game
A new youth space and a timely grant had Coffee Row wondering what kind of future Gull Lake is building—and who’s keeping the receipts.

What Holds a Small Town Together Isn’t Viral Noise—It's Us
A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another.
