Holidays in Manitoba

Saskatchewan is known as the ‘Land of Living Skies’ and for good reason. The vast skies showcase stunning sunsets, epic cloud formations and sometimes, if you’re lucky, the otherworldly light show of the northern lights.

The two main cities are Saskatoon, its largest and to the south, Regina, the provincial capital. In between you’ll find beautiful national parks, secluded rivers, flat prairielands, and a warm welcome, wherever you go.

Saskatoon celebrates its rich culture throughout the year by way of festivals, performing arts and events. The nearby Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a great place to gain a better insight into the region’s First Nations people and interprets over 6,000 years of Northern Plains Indigenous culture. Regina, originally named ‘Pile o’ Bones’ showcases the history and culture of Saskatchewan through its museums. The city was also the original home to the RCMP or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the headquarters have long since moved to Ottawa, but the training academy remains in Regina to this day.

This is a province where you are surrounded by nature at every turn and following one of the many hiking trails, such as those running through the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, is a wonderful way to explore. In the far north you’ll find the Prince Albert National Park, gateway to northern Saskatchewan where parkland meets northern boreal forest. Superb outdoor adventures sit shoulder to shoulder with an abundance of wildlife including bison, eagles, beaver elk, bears and moose.
