Once a bustling mining town founded in 1901 to support coal operations on the slopes of Turtle Mountain, Frank is now a quiet community of just 147 residents (2021 census). The town’s dramatic history includes the 1903 Frank Slide — Canada’s deadliest rockslide — and today it serves as the starting point for scenic hikes to places like the nearby ghost town of Lille.
