Vacay.ca Recommends a Vacation in Saskatoon
Your trip to La Reata Ranch will probably begin and end in Saskatoon. While these two communities aren’t exactly close together, it’s still worthwhile to consider stretching your holiday a few extra days longer if you can because Saskatoon is worth a visit.
Vacay.ca Managing Editor Adrian Brijbassi wrote about his recent experience in his article “It’s time to take Saskatoon seriously.”
Brijbassi wrote: “Beyond cool, Saskatoon and its surrounding areas are a delight. (And, yes, if you’re reading this in Toronto, that’s written with a straight face.) The annual blues and folk festivals are becoming more attractive to visitors and musicians each year. About five kilometres north of the city, the Wanuskewin Heritage Park offers a fascinating glimpse into an archaeological dig that has unearthed First Nations artifacts older than anywhere else in North America. If the streets aren’t picturesque, the bridges that connect them are, and there’s enough nightlife to keep things interesting most evenings of the week.”
