Saskatoon

Recognized as one of the best places to live in Canada, Saskatoon shines as a vibrant urban centre, successfully combining big city amenities with small town hospitality. The city is situated on the banks of the wide South Saskatchewan River, and has used this location to its full advantage with over 300 acres of breathtaking riverbank parks for all people to enjoy. This cosmopolitan city of approximately 230,000 people (CMA) is proud of its multicultural heritage, and delights in current day arts with numerous festivals, galleries, clubs and special events.

Location & Environment

Saskatoon, a commercial and educational centre in the Province of Saskatchewan, is located 216 miles north of the U.S. border, 140 miles from the Alberta border and 215 miles from the Manitoba border. The city lies at the heart of the Canadian Prairies and maintains a worldwide reputation for safety, affordability, and hospitality. The City of Saskatoon experiences four distinct seasons every year with mean temperatures ranging from normal highs of 25°C (77°F) in July to normal lows of -23°C (-9°F) in January. The varying temperatures allow residents to take full advantage of the activities that are available with the different seasons.

Economy

Saskatoon is proud to be a world leader in the science and technology community, conducting leading research and manufacturing innovative products in a wide variety of industry sectors. Research and development efforts are particularly active, largely due to the excellent collaboration between academics at the University of Saskatchewan and industry. Soon, all research efforts will benefit from the investigative capabilities of the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron, one of only six, third-generation synchrotrons in the world, and a new nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer at the University of Saskatchewan’s new Structural Sciences Centre. Industrial sectors that present the greatest potential for growth in the Saskatoon region include: biotechnology; environmental technology; information technology and advanced manufacturing; manufacturing and metal fabrication; mining; multimedia and film; nutraceuticals; value-added food processing; and transportation and warehousing. The growth within the biotechnology sector is especially symbolic of the deserved recognition the city has received by attracting over 30 percent of all biotechnology research spending in Canada.

Saskatoon is split into 5 areas (2006 stats) as listed below. For updated stats please click on this link: http://www.saskatoon.ca/DEPARTMENTS/Community%20Services/PlanningDevelopment/FutureGrowth/DemographicAndHousingData/Pages/NeighbourhoodProfiles.aspx
