When war was declared my brother, my older brother was in the reserve navy over on 1st Avenue and 25th Street HMCS Unicorn. And we lost him with the Jarvis Bay in November of 1943? Something like that. No it was 1941, Jarvis Bay was in 1941. The in those days they had a what do you say an abance for age
group so it was being the surviving male in the family I would be able to join up at the time of
consent that is when I would be released of obligations so to speak by my mother.

By 1945 the built up area of Saskatoon had only increased very little from that of the 1930's. However the population had increased during the war and rose even further at the end of the war as soldiers returned home, some of them with war brides and children. In 1946 the city recognized a lack of housing development with regards to the population. This led to the development of new residential neighborhoods such as North Park, Expansion west ward of Mayfair, expansion south ward of Nutana and Buena Vista, and the development of whose streets are named after places where Canadian soldiers fought in the second world war.
