Most of my visits to Saskatchewan have been for kayak racing, but this last week I went to visit the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. The province looks a lot different in April than it does in August. The snow has just finished melting, kind of like Sweden when I left.
Saskatoon is a (very) small city with a reputation for friendly people. It is true that although the wind is chilly, the people are warm. Saskatchewan is the only province to have a communist provincial government, and is also the birthplace of Canada’s universal healthcare system. I guess cooperation and sharing come naturally here.
The University’s Geography/Biology building has some fantastic displays of dinosaur skeletons, aquarium fish and terrarium plants.
Was this song stuck in your head the whole time you were there?
