_____
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Saskatoon is located in central Saskatchewan
on the South Saskatchewan River. It is the largest city in the
province with a population of just over 200,000.
The city enjoys a high quality of life and low
cost of living. Saskatoon has many 'big city' amenities (from
golf courses, to rec centres, to arts and theatre) but still retains
a friendly small town attitude. The average commute is only 15
minutes. The city also enjoys the most sunshine hours of any major
city in Canada.
The economy is driven by many sectors, including
oil, potash, agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. The University
of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon is home to the Canadian Light
Source, the largest science project completed in Canada in over
50 years. Saskatoon is sometimes referred to as 'science city'
and is recognized as a world leader in agricultural biotechnology.
