With a population of over 4.5 million, Alberta is Canada’s fourth-most populous province. Its economy thrives on energy (oil and gas), agriculture, and tourism, making it one of the wealthiest provinces per capita. But beyond its economic power, Alberta is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world—including the iconic Canadian Rockies, Banff and Jasper National Parks, and the mesmerizing Badlands.

Saskatchewan Appreciation Post

Did you know that Saskatchewan is Canada’s sunniest province? This prairie gem joined Confederation on September 1, 1905, alongside Alberta, becoming Canada’s 8th and 9th provinces.

With a population of just over 1.2 million, Saskatchewan is known for its wide-open skies, stunning landscapes, and some of the friendliest people in the country. But don’t let its small population fool you—this province is a powerhouse when it comes to agriculture. It produces over 40% of Canada’s wheat, along with canola, lentils, and barley, earning its reputation as the "Breadbasket of Canada."

Beyond farming, Saskatchewan is rich in natural resources, including potash (vital for fertilizer) and uranium (key for clean energy). The province also boasts breathtaking national parks like Grasslands National Park and Prince Albert National Park, where you can spot bison, pronghorns, and even the elusive whooping crane.

And let’s not forget Saskatoon, the "Paris of the Prairies," with its vibrant arts scene, and Regina, the capital, home to the stunning Wascana Centre and the RCMP Heritage Centre.

What to See and Do in Saskatchewan:

Explore the otherworldly beauty of the Athabasca Sand Dunes.

Visit the historic Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a UNESCO-designated Indigenous cultural site.

Experience the Qu’Appelle Valley’s scenic lakes and rolling hills.

Attend the famous Craven Country Jamboree, one of Canada’s biggest country music festivals.

Stargaze in Cypress Hills, one of the darkest sky preserves in the country.

What to Know About Saskatchewan:

Official Bird: Sharp-tailed Grouse

Official Animal: White-tailed Deer

Official Flower: Western Red Lily

Fun Fact: Saskatchewan has over 100,000 lakes and rivers, making it a paradise for anglers and boaters.

Quirky Trivia: The province is home to the world’s tallest teepee (in Medicine Hat, just across the Alberta border but a symbol of the Plains Indigenous peoples).

Economic Powerhouse: Saskatchewan supplies more than half of the world’s exported lentils.

From golden fields to northern lights, Saskatchewan is full of surprises. Have you visited? Drop your favorite Saskatchewan memory in the comments below.
