Roughly the size of Texas, this central prairie province is Canada's fifth largest, known as "the country's bread basket". The southern half of Saskatchewan is a rolling prairie, awash in bright golden fields of grain and canola. But further north, plains give way to forests and over 100,000 lakes - the foundation of a booming tourism industry. Visitors flock north in the summer months to enjoy unmatched camping, golf and fishing, with anglers reeling in trophy-sized Pike, Walleye, and Northern Grayling. Enjoy a drive north for some of Canada's most pristine parks.
Saskatchewan is known as the birthplace of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. RCMP headquarters are a must-see when visiting Regina, the capital city of Saskatchewan. It was named for Queen Victoria in 1882, and most of the locals agreed that it was an improvement over the original city's name: Pile O’ Bones! |
