The city of Saskatoon is another gem in the heart of Saskatchewan. Back in 1882 the founders of Saskatchewan's largest city pitched their tents on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River, searching for Utopia. Today, as you sip cappuccino in a café in the trendy Broadway shopping district, jog around the University of Saskatchewan grounds, or watch Shakespeare under the big red and white tent along the riverbank, you'd have to say they succeeded in their quest. Saskatoon's major attractions include Wanuskewin Heritage Park and the Western Development Museum/1910 Boomtown . The city also has many craft shops and galleries, a fine symphony orchestra, four professional theatre companies and a very active amateur theatre community with six companies. Summer is festival time with Folkfest, the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, and the Saskatoon International Fringe Festival .
Saskatoon's beautiful Meewasin Valley Trail extends for 60km's on the east and west banks of the South Saskatchewan River, and features a wide variety of interpretive sites, trails and services that will appeal to all ages. The trail offers year-round recreation and sight-seeing opportunities for walkers, joggers, wheelchair users, cyclists, cross-country skiers and more.

Batoche National Historic Site The history and culture of Saskatchewan's Métis people also lives on today. Batoche National Historic Site is a good example. Here you can explore Métis history, and learn about Louis Riel and how he led his Métis people in an armed uprising against the Canadian Government in 1885. This site features the remains of the village of Batoche, including the church of St. Antoine de Padoue, the rectory, as well as the trenches used by Middleton's army. Métis traditions can be experienced in numerous events throughout Saskatchewan including canoeing contests, strong man competitions and King Trapper events. |
