Canada’s sunshine capital is located in the heart of the great plains. With a population 230 thousand, the community is a rare combination of big city amenities and small town spirit! Home of the University of Saskatchewan, Innovation Place and the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron Project, Saskatoon is a vibrant and diverse city, boasting many professional and amateur theater groups, a symphony, numerous galleries, museums and libraries. A beautiful city in each of its four seasons, Saskatoon is an exciting and diverse destination with much to offer visitors and residents alike.

A world leader in agriculture biotechnology, a base for mining and manufacturing, with a flourishing high tech industry, the focal point of Saskatoon is the South Saskatchewan River where you can enjoy a casual stroll, bike ride or roller blade through beautifully landscaped parks and natural areas. Stop and visit the Mendel Art Gallery located on the river bank or take in one of the many activities scheduled throughout the year on the rivers edge and around the city.
