When Mary was only 2 weeks old, her parents boarded a boat, destined for Canada. Mary was 1 month old when they finally reached Canada. Upon arrival, the family began their journey west towards Fort Edmonton. They settled in the Low Level District east of Smoky Lake. Their first home, which was only to be temporary, was a hole dug into a hillside. It was not until the beginning of the winter that the log house was completely constructed. Their first stove was made of mud; the cooking surface was a piece of steel plate which Mary’s father carried on his back from Medicine Hat. Soon after, Mary’s father, Peter left the homestead to seek employment. In order to earn the money to buy horses, which were so necessary during those times, Peter had worked at several jobs in Southern Alberta. Mary’s mother was left behind to look after the children and chores during these difficult years. Katherine would have to load the oxen with Mary and her eldest brother John, in the cart 14 miles to Pakan, to purchase supplies. When Mary was 6 years old, her parents were persuaded by the mission teachers to send her to a mission school at Wahstao, Alberta. Since Mary was too young to be away from her parents, she was sent home shortly thereafter. When she was several years older, she once again attended the mission school during the summer months. In October of 1918, during the time the country was being plagued with the flu, Mary and her brothers and sisters became very ill. However, they were the more fortunate ones who survived. It was 1919, the year after that she married John Melnyk.
