The former residents of Creighton Mine, a local company town that was shuttered in the 1980s, return for the first community reunion since 2019
They came from Guelph, Saskatoon, Ottawa, North Bay and Perth to remember a place that is no more — except in the hearts and memories of those who knew it and loved it.
As Creighton grew, Inco built boarding houses, apartment buildings and single-family homes that were rented to employees. Rent and utility fees were deducted from miners' paycheques. Tenants who rented from Inco were told they could have their house free of charge if they paid to have the structure moved off Inco's property. All buildings, including the churches and schools, which held so many memories, were eventually demolished.
On July 9, at least 100 people gathered at the Anderson Farm Museum to remember Creighton Mine, rekindle friendships and pick up a copy of the latest book on the history of the community. It was the 31st reunion. Kowalenko said there was something special about the tight-knit community and that’s what keeps people coming back.
