-
The Mystery of the Northern Lights -Ask three people
to explain the northern lights and you are likely to get
three completely different interpretations. Some favour
scientific analysis, others take a more spiritual view and
still others will take a view somewhere in between. The
truth of the matter is that while many of the mysteries
surrounding the northern lights have been unraveled by scientists,
as many mysteries remain.
- Fall
is Migration Time in Saskatchewan - Autumn in Saskatchewan
offers one of the only chances most people will get to actually
spot a whooping crane ...
- Uncovering
Wanuskewin - At Wanuskewin Heritage Park, just a few kilometres
north of Saskatoon, archaeologists have discovered artifacts
that date back more than 8000 years—older than Egypt’s Great
Pyramids...
- Windows
on Yesterday - The earliest written records of what is
now Saskatchewan date to 1690 when Henry Kelsey of the fur-trading
Hudson’s Bay Company became the first European to explore
the area....
- City
of Saskatoon - Saskatoon is a busy hub of commerce and
industry, but it has a laid-back charm that enhances its cosmopolitan
hustle and bustle. Originally a Temperance Colony ...
- City
of Regina - In 1882, a tent settlement named Pile O’ Bones
sat on a treeless plain near a small, winding creek. The community
that sprang from this humble beginning is truly a testament
to what can be accomplished with a vision, a name change and
hard work...
- The
Southwest Region - The South West Region, a photographer’s
paradise, promises colorful, ever-changing scenery with each
new season. The area offers a wealth of panoramic views, from
expansive forest to natural grasslands, golden wheat fields
to sand hills, and valley oases to picturesque lakes - all
boasting an abundance of rare and beautiful wildlife, birds,
plants and
flowers. ..
- The
Southeast Region - The broad Qu’Appelle Valley extends
right across the region. Its rugged hills form the northern
rim of the South East Region’s boundary, providing a stunning
backdrop to natural areas like Echo Valley, Katepwa Point
and Crooked Lake provincial parks. Rowan’s Ravine Provincial
Park is located on Last Mountain Lake, which forms a good
part of the Qu’Appelle Valley basin...
- The
West Central Region - From the quiet meander of the Battle,
to the mighty forces of the South and North Saskatchewan,
rivers form an important part of the landscape here. Crucial
to the fur trade and the province’s early development, these
moving waters and their shores provide some of Saskatchewan’s
most beautiful scenery...
- The
East Central Region - Varied landscapes range from prairie
to rolling parkland, accentuated by scenic valleys and some
of the most unique lakes you’ll find anywhere. Little Manitou
Lake is mineral rich and has a buoyancy that makes it impossible
for anyone to sink. With a mineral content similar to that
of the great spas of Europe, and a reputation for healing
waters, Manitou Springs Resort on the lake’s beach front has
become one of Canada’s top mineral spas...
- The
North Region - A rich
history with strong and enduring Aboriginal heritage, reminders
of the fur trade and the contributions of pioneers, as well
as the oldest building in Saskatchewan can all be found in
the North...
