Paris of the Prairies
Saskatoon, the City of Bridges on the South Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan's largest city sits on a bend of the South Saskatchewan River and has collected nicknames: the Paris of the Prairies, the City of Bridges for its nine river crossings, and Hub City. It is a university town that mixes pioneer heritage with a lively contemporary arts scene, with a metro area of roughly 317,000 people.
POW City
Another nickname, POW City, stands for potash, oil and wheat. The city is the headquarters of Nutrien, the world's largest potash producer, and of Cameco, the largest publicly traded uranium company.

A dry town
From temperance colony to university city
Saskatoon was founded by the Temperance Colonization Society of Toronto as a dry settlement, with settlers arriving in 1883. It became a city in 1906 with about 4,500 people, after Saskatoon, Riversdale and Nutana merged.
Today it hosts festivals including the Fringe Theatre Festival and Jazz Fest in summer, and a Cruise Weekend in late August with more than 800 mostly 1960s cars. TCU Place and SaskTel Centre host concerts and shows.
