Between 1965 and 1975 some 148 communities were
abandoned, involving the relocation of 20,000
people.

• Government wanted to ensure that all residents of
  the province had access to a reasonable level of
  government services, as well as to telephones and
  electricity. The provision of health care
  facilities, schools, roads, post offices and
  other services could be achieved more cheaply and
  efficiently if people moved from small, isolated
  settlements to larger centers.
