Vidora, Saskatchewan was once a community in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. In an era where homesteaders arrived in the early 1900's and communities were situated much closer together to accommodate a day's horse ride between neighbours, many of these communities have now disappeared firstly with the advent of rail, then auto and highway which makes transportation much easier, and larger centres further apart have arisen.
