Abandoned Towns: Uranium City

Intro: Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my first Youtube Video! This is the first installment in my "Abandoned Towns" series where I cover once-prosperous communities that have gone awry. I plan on also rolling out an "Abandoned History" series where I cover less talked about historical events. Stay tuned to catch those videos.

Description: Straddling the Northern Shores of Lake Athabasca and sitting only 30 miles from the Northwest Territories border lies Uranium City. Only 40 years ago Uranium City was a bustling town with thousands of inhabitants. Today it's a ghost town. How did what was once a prosperous town in the middle of the arctic end up as a ghost town where the few remaining residents are fighting to keep it alive?
