SASKATOON, "BAND CITY"
The city of Saskatoon is favorably positioned with the
South Saskatchewan River winding through it. Eight bridges span its gentle
flow, linking east to west. An active city, residents and visitors alike flock
to the Meewasin Valley trails, traversing sixty kilometres of pathways in all
seasons. The city’s youthful vitality and cultural richness are evident in
every neighborhood, thanks in part to the University of Saskatchewan, where
leading-edge technology such as the Canadian Light Source synchrotron draws the
best minds from around the world. A vibrant, sophisticated arts community is
tangible at the assortment of events and festivals taking place throughout the
year. Boutique shopping, challenging golf courses, and fresh local cuisine
round out Saskatoon’s appeal.
