The City of Saskatoon is located in central Saskatchewan, in Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. The name “Saskatoon” comes from the Cree word misâskwatômina, which refers to a sweet, purple berry which still grows in the area.

At approximately 300,000 people, Saskatoon is the province’s largest city. The South Saskatchewan River flows through the heart of the city, and the vast river valley, managed by the Meewasin Valley Authority, is the envy of cities across North America. Saskatoon is also home to Wanuskewin, an award-winning National Historic Site that has been named to Canada’s Tentative List for UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Saskatoon is a growing and diverse city. Throughout its history, it has welcomed people from all over Canada and the world. Over 60 different neighbourhoods, each with its own unique characteristics, make up the community. 

Saskatoon is an attractive and friendly city with a diverse economy, low unemployment, a healthy real estate market, and rising incomes which are all contributing to steady growth.
