Geschiedenis
In 1945, Stan Stakiw established “Stan’s Photos” in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Shortly thereafter, exact date unknown, he bought “Avalon Studio” from Bill Johnson and renamed to “Stan’s Avalon”. “Stan’s Avalon” relocated onto Broadway Street and re-opened as “Avalon Studio”, in early 1950. Avalon Studio included: a camera shop, frame shop & studio. In 1955 or 1956, everything was lost in a fire. In 1957, Avalon Studio reopened on 2nd Avenue. About ten years later, in 1967, Morris Stakiw joined his father’s business. Avalon Studio was a very popular studio for individual and family portraits. The photographers were called upon to photograph community events, such as grand openings, special events, graduations and other celebrations. In 1973, another photographer, Bill Kish, retired and sold some files and equipment to Avalon Studios. After Stan passed away in 1980, Morris carried on with the business until the summer of 2015. Due to flooding in 2010 and 2012, the owner decided to close its doors. The majority of the business records were destroyed.
