Region Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan stretches from the United States border to the 60th parallel at the Northwest Territories, encompassing southern grain-growing plains and the boreal forest and Canadian Shield of the north. The South Saskatchewan River crosses the settled south, including Saskatoon, while the Churchill River runs through a northern country of lakes, rock and conifers. Regina, the provincial capital, is home to the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, completed in 1912. First Nations and Métis communities remain central to the province’s identity; Cree, Dene, Saulteaux and Métis traditions reflect both prairie and northern cultures.
