Kipling

I want to visit Kipling, Saskatchewan. According to their Website, the Town of Kipling has a population of about 1,100 people, who appear to not only enjoy a quality lifestyle, but seem to be very friendly as well (see the photos).

Kipling is also the new home of Kyle MacDonald, the young man who traded the now-famous One Red Paperclip for a house in Kipling. Not only is this an amazingly creative thing to do, but give the people in the town credit for also having the imagination to respond with their part in making this trade.

So congratulations to Kyle MacDonald (and Dominique) for reaching your goal… and in only 14 trades. And congratulations go out to the residents and Town Council of Kipling for presenting such a friendly face to the media in July 2006 during all the coverage.

Kipling’s Website has a slogan: “Where If Becomes Reality.” Looks like this little town knows how to live up to their motto.

Yes, I do want to visit your town.
