Surrounded by endless fields of shimmering wheat, today’s Saskatoon is a pocket of Saskatchewan’s culture, vitality, and welcoming prairie spirit. These days, city streets are buzzing with an infusion of new restaurants and citizens, breweries and bars, making Saskatoon one of Canada’s fastest growing cities. Downtown has grown from a pretty lazy place most evenings to a place where you can’t find a parking spot, streets bustling with shoppers and foodies. With the South Saskatchewan flowing through the middle of town, river life is integral to the heart of the city. Almost half of the city is on each side of the river, so crossing east and west over the bridges, seeing the river, and walking the riverbank, Meewasin, trails all are part of daily life here.
