Saskatchewan has a poor image of being flat and uninteresting, but this is not an accurate assessment. When you scratch the surface, you will discover a province with over one hundred thousand lakes, boreal forests, swift-flowing rivers, and limitless recreational activities. Saskatchewan is the sunniest province in Canada, which may explain why it has such a kind and welcoming populace.
Saskatchewan has extremely straight boundaries with the Canadian provinces of Manitoba to the east, Alberta to the west, and the American states of Montana and North Dakota to the south. Visitors travelling throughout the province may witness endless farmland, but the northern half is a pleasure for those who like canoeing, fishing, and swimming in the many lakes.
Prince Albert National Park
The terrain of Prince Albert National Park consists of spruce bogs, vast lakes, and aspen-dotted uplands. It is a good location for seeing animals. The northern woodlands of the park are home to the second biggest colony of white pelicans in Canada at Lavallée Lake, as well as moose, wolves, black bears, foxes, lynx, caribou, and eagles. Elk, deer, badgers, coyotes, and squirrels may be found in the southern parklands. Waskesiu Main Beach is also one of the nicest beaches in Saskatchewan. This 600-meter stretch of golden sand is situated at the eastern end of Waskesiu Lake and bordered by verdant meadows and trees. On a hot, sunny day, it is simple to get ice cream from the restaurants and businesses are located just across the street from the beach. If you don’t like this beach, there are nine others scattered around the lake, many of which are calm and empty. Consider the direction of the wind and choose your beach accordingly, since it may get windy here.
Saskatoon
On the south Saskatchewan River, the beautiful city of sunny Saskatoon may be found. Numerous tourist sites highlight the area’s past, from the earliest inhabitants of the Prairies at Wanuskewin Heritage Park to the European settlers and culture of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. The city is home to the biggest of the province’s four Western Development Museums, which has a rebuilt main street known as “Boomtown 1910.” Do you travel with children? Include the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo on your Saskatoon agenda, since it is renowned not just for its animal collection but also for its lovely surroundings. Are you interested in art? Visit the new Remai Modern Museum, which is already renowned for its Picasso collection
Fort Walsh National Historic Site
Fort Walsh National Historic Site created in 1875 under James Walsh’s leadership. Its purpose was to combat the illicit whisky trade. It became one of the most significant installations in the West. Throughout its existence, the fort negotiated with whiskey dealers, local people, and hundreds of Sioux warriors who sought safety in Canada after clashing with U.S. troops. The fort was demolished and abandoned after the construction of the railroad and the repatriation of the Sioux to the United States. In 1942, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police bought the site and constructed a horse breeding facility on it. As a result of the RCMP’s move to Ontario, the estate became a national historic monument with a thorough restoration plan. In addition to costumed reenactments, hiking and biking along Fort Walsh’s large trail system are enjoyable activities.
Regina
Regina, a cosmopolitan business and cultural hub, is home to government and provincial institutions, including the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, which may be visited. It has a multitude of art and historical sites, such as the dazzling Royal Saskatchewan Museum and Mackenzie Art Gallery near the parklands of Wascana Centre surrounding Wascana Lake. Attractions in the city include parades and other military-themed events at the RCMP Heritage Centre, while the Saskatchewan Science Centre is all about learning about science.
RCMP Heritage Centre
With exhibits of equipment, weaponry, pictures, and more, the RCMP Heritage Centre is the biggest of its type in Canada. Both the Sergeant Major’s Parade (held at the Parade Square, or the Drill Hall in winter or inclement weather) and the Sunset Retreat (held in the summer) draw big audiences. The latter is a flamboyant flag ceremony with a parade of recruits and a marching band, evoking 18th-and 19th-century British military history. In addition to putting on RCMP uniforms, visitors may also attend an educational guided tour of the property.
