Saskatoon

Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan, Canada, and a key hub for the province’s central region. Situated on the South Saskatchewan River and easily accessible via the Trans-Canada Highway, the city blends prairie landscapes with a growing urban environment. Founded in 1882, Saskatoon has evolved from a Temperance colony into a modern centre with a population of 317,480 (CMA, 2021).

The city offers a unique cultural mix, reflected in its significant Indigenous population and sites like Wanuskewin Heritage Park – a 6,000-year-old First Nations archaeological site. Saskatoon is also a university town, home to the University of Saskatchewan, and boasts extensive riverbank park spaces thanks to the Meewasin Valley Authority. Known as the “City of Bridges,” Saskatoon is experiencing revitalization in its historic neighbourhoods like Nutana and Riversdale, offering a blend of old-world charm and modern amenities.
