Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is one of Canada's three prairie provinces. The name was derived from the original Cree inhabitants description of the "swift flowing river" ( Now called the Saskatchewan river) which snakes through a large portion of its teritory.

Saskatchewan is a landlocked province, which has no significant body of water within it's borders (which is unusual for Canada). It is bordered on the north by the Northwest Territories, on the east by Manitoba, on the west by Alberta, and on the south by the U.S. states of North Dakota and Montana.


Most of the population lives in the southern half of the province, in the largest cities of Saskatoon, and the provincial capital, Regina.

Saskatchewan has a wealth of natural attractions. Vast unspoiled landscapes with occasional pretty towns and vilages, wild and uninhabited woods, as well as pristine lakes and streams that offer everyone a chance to catch a biiiig fish.
