Travel is
so much more that simply hopping on a flight to a new destination. If you plan
it correctly, it could be a thrilling time you'll never forget. Planning a trip
is fun as there are tons of things to do and see. Do you know how to plan a
trip effectively? Packing light is key to making your travels as easy and free
of stress as possible. Bring one carryon bag that includes everything you need,
not necessarily everything you want. Your smart packing will pay off when you
are happily carrying one bag around on vacation instead of lugging around
multiple bags. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
See & Do
See
The
Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is in the extreme southwest corner of the
province, sharing a border with Alberta's half of the park. Historical Fort
Walsh as well as the highest point in the province can be found in the Cypress
Hills.
Hockey
is taken very seriously in Saskatchewan, and matches can be extremely intense,
as well as entertaining. Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Swift Current and
Regina all host teams in the Western Hockey League, the top level of Junior
Hockey in the world.
Be
sure to check out historical sites relating to the settlement of the west and
the North West Rebellion of 1885. Fort Carlton, Batoche, and Duck Lake ae
within distance of Saskatoon for a day trip.
A
very passionate pastime for Saskatchewan residents is to cheer on their
Canadian Football League team: The Saskatchewan Roughriders. Saskatchewanians
are known for their loyalty and "Rider Pride". A Rider game is always
party and spectacle as many of the fans show up to the game wearing watermelons
on their heads!
A
Wolf Adventure is a Provincially licensed, Canadian based wolf outreach /eco
lodge that fosters and promotes a healthy respect of wildlife and surrounding
habitat. A Wolf Adventure is home to some Gray wolves of various subspecies
including the elusive and rare Arctic wolf. A Wolf Adventure strives to foster
an appreciation, not just of a highly misunderstood rarely seen wild animal,
but most importantly the natural wild lands.
Saskatchewan
is also the home of the RCMP Academy, Depot Division (commonly known as
"Depot"; pronounced /ˈdɛpoʊ/, not /ˈdiːpoʊ/) that has been providing police training to Royal
Canadian Mounted Police "cadets" since its establishment in 1885. The
facility is in the west part of Regina, Saskatchewan, near the airport, and
consists of several buildings. The RCMP Heritage Centre is located right next
to the RCMP Training Academy at 5907 Dewdney Avenue. Through the use of
permanent and temporary exhibits, multimedia technologies, and extensive
programming, the Heritage Centre tells the RCMP story and educates Canadians
and the world about the past, present and future of the RCMP within Canada and
abroad.*
Do
In
stark contrast to the prairies of southern Saskatchewan is its northern half.
The area north of Prince Albert is sparsely populated and dotted with
freshwater lakes. It is best accessed by rental car however travelers should be
aware that communities are separated by great distances in the provinces north
and services are limited. Scheduled flights are also available to LaRonge from
Saskatoon through smaller airline. The trek to northern Saskatchewan had only
one purpose, to experience untouched wilderness, canoeists and fisherman will
be well rewarded by its waterways.

Eat
A
peculiarity among most small towns in Saskatchewan is that they have a small
Chinese Restaurant.
Drink
Drinking
age in Saskatchewan is 19. Great Western Brewing operates the old Molson brew
house in Saskatoon. They produce beers ranging from extra-gravity malt liquor
to mid-grade amber and pale ales. There is a provincial law basically giving
anyone that operates a "brewpub" automatic off sales privileges.
Because of this, many bars have started extract-based "brewpubs" in
order to acquire their off-sales license. These beers are very poor quality
compared to beers made from true ingredients. In small towns, locals prefer
cheap beer and rye whiskey. One local favorite is Old Style Pilsner, a
no-frills brew with a most unique label. Water quality in Saskatchewan ranges
but is generally above average.

I came to Canada at a young age and I've been here for most of my life,
so being able to play for this country is a really great experience and joy.
