More About Saskatoon and Saskatchewan:
Here are some basic facts about Saskatoon:

Location |
Saskatoon is nestled centrally in the Province of Saskatchewan, just over 300 kilometres from the U.S. border. The city is 482 metres (1581 feet) above sea level. The city is located at 52 degrees (north) and 10 minutes of latitude and 106 degrees (west) and 41 minutes of longitude.

Name |
The first settlers arrived in Saskatoon in the summer of 1883, even though the area has been inhabited for over 6,000 years. The name "Saskatoon" is from the Cree Indian name 'mis-sask-quah-toomina', for a local indigenous berry which grows on Saskatoon willows. The berries were a staple foodstuff (today, very popular for jams) and the branches made excellent arrow shafts, so the area was important for Cree Indians stocking up on arrows and berries. |
