City of Saskatoon
The Saskatoon area has been inhabited for some 6,000 years; however, it was not until the summer of 1883 that the first settlers began to arrive and subsequently in 1903 that the town charter was obtained. "Saskatoon" is derived from 'mis-sask-quah-toomina', the Cree Indian name for a local indigenous berry.
The Saskatoon region is the world's largest exporter of uranium, and nearly two-thirds of the world's recoverable potash reserves are located in the Saskatoon region.
Saskatoon is a magical city with a rare combination of big city amenities and small town spirit. Saskatoon’s unique character can be attributed to its rich history, dynamic culture, and exceptional beauty. This vibrant city boasts numerous art galleries, professional theatre companies, an excellent symphony, and many smaller bands and choirs.
The diversified Saskatoon Region economy has particular strengths in biotechnology, food processing, manufacturing, mining, technology, warehousing and distribution, and great potential in a number of others. The tax and regulatory environment for manufacturing and research and development activities is highly competitive and one of the best in Canada.
