A Vibrant And Successful City
It has provided opportunities to many and our citizens have responded as worthy achievers in business, education, research, the arts, culture, sports, recreation, and parks. We are known as the “Volunteer Capital of the World”, and our citizens rise to all challenges and occasions to make our City “simply the best!”
Saskatoon is an urban oasis with over 4,000 acres of lush parks, the beautiful South Saskatchewan River, more sunshine than most major cities in Canada and air and water quality among the best in the world. The natural beauty and serenity invites you to walk, run or jog up to 40 kilometers of winding trails along the river valley.
With the South Saskatchewan River as the heart of Saskatoon, the arts, culture and heritage are its soul. Vibrant festivals, innovative art, drama and music showcase the diversity and spirit of Saskatoon.
Discover a nature lovers’ paradise, along the Meewasin Valley on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River; wander through the Meewasin Valley Centre, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, and the Mendel Art Gallery and Civic Conservatory. Cross over the river and visit the ever-popular Diefenbaker Canada Centre - a museum and archive for Canada’s charismatic 13th Prime Minister of Canada, located on the scenic campus of the University of Saskatchewan.
Experience Wanuskewin Heritage Park as you walk in ancient footsteps and relive the stories of the Northern Plains Peoples; discover intimate gardens, historic buildings and a variety of western Canadian animals and exotic species at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo; walk along the longest indoor street in North America and explore pioneer life in Boomtown 1910 at the Western Development Museum, and then move into the 21st century as you marvel at the powerhouse of biotechnology and innovation with Canada’s largest science project – the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron. These are but a few of the many enticing events and attractions that await you in this beautiful city on the river.
Catch the Saskatoon spirit as we prepare to celebrate our heritage, our people and 100 years of incorporation! With its big city amenities, and small town spirit, Saskatoon offers all visitors an experience to remember!
