Answer

Both Elliot Lake and Schefferville were single-industry towns heavily reliant on resource extraction (uranium in Elliot Lake and iron ore in Schefferville) that experienced significant decline or near abandonment after the resource market shifted and the mines closed. This resulted in substantial population loss and economic hardship for both communities.
