City Overview

Saskatoon is Saskatchewan’s largest city, with the South Saskatchewan River running through it (the "Bridge City") and the University of Saskatchewan based here. Potash, mining and agri-tech are strong, making it a key node of Canada’s resource economy. Cost of living and housing are very low and it is sunny — good for families and students. Winters are long and severe, with many clear days year-round.
