Saskatchewan is dubbed the "bread basket" of Canada, and is
famous for its prairies and wheat fields. Located in the
western part of the country, Saskatchewan is bordered by
Manitoba, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and the United
States. The province is almost rectangular in shape and is
651,900 kmē in area.
Its population stands at about one million, or 3.6 per cent of
Canada's population. The people of Saskatchewan come from a
variety of ethnic backgrounds, which is why the provincial
motto is "From many peoples, strength". The never-ending
stretches of land and vast skies also make this province
well-known for its beautiful sunsets.
The largest cities are Regina, with a population of close to
200,000, and Saskatoon, with about 225,000 residents. The
province also boasts the largest area of active sand dunes in
Canada. The Athabasca Sand Dunes stretch about 100 kilometres,
with giant dunes rising as high as 30 metres. From city
experiences to rural getaways and outdoor adventures,
Saskatchewan offers a range of enjoyable experiences.
