Wow. This is quite something to see. My mum grew up in uranium city until her family moved south when she was young. I've heard how lively the city was back in the day when they were still living there, now it looks almost like a ghost town. Funny thing is that I'm now a bush pilot based out of fort mcmurray and get to fly to uranium city when dispatched out for a charter flight. Hopefully I get to see the town in person one of these days. The airport and runway are still in good shape.

Yeah, it is somewhat of a Ghost town. It is a nice area though. I hope you can make it up one day.
