Social Conditions

The settler arriving in western Canada will not find, as he possibly anticipates, a country of few pleasures, inconveniences, and lots of work, but will, quite possibly, get located in a district, though new, that will have schools, churches, fairly good roads, and very often have one of more lines of railway projected to be built into the district; and in this country when a railway is proposed, it is not long before it is an accomplished fact.

Churches are organized at the outset, and aid is given the by the governing body of the particular denomination of the church being formed. This makes another link in the chain of kindred interest of the Canadian settler.
