There are plenty of fun near.me/country/canada/city/saskatchewan-1260840">things
to do in Saskatchewan - a province in Western
Canada, bordered on the west by Alberta, on the north by
the Northwest Territories, on the east by Manitoba, to
the northeast by Nunavut, and on the south by the United
States (Montana and North Dakota). Saskatchewan and
Alberta are the only landlocked provinces of Canada. The
name of the province is derived from the Saskatchewan
River. The river is known as ᑭᓯᐢᑳᒋᐘᓂ 5 60;ᐱᐩ kisiskāciwani-
sīpiy ("swift flowing river") in the Cree language.
Henday's spelling was Keiskatchewan, with the modern
rendering, Saskatchewan, being officially adopted in 1882
when a portion of the present-day province was designated
a provisional district of the North-West Territories.
Residents primarily live in the southern prairie half of
the province, while the northern half is mostly forested
and sparsely populated. Roughly half live in the
province's largest city Saskatoon or the provincial
capital Regina. Other notable cities include Prince
Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton, Swift Current, North
Battleford, Estevan, Weyburn, Melfort, and the border
city Lloydminster. English is the primary language of the
province, with 82.4% of Saskatchewanians speaking English
as their first language.

Saskatchewan is presently governed by premier Scott Moe,
a member of the Saskatchewan Party which has been in
power since 2007.
In 1992, the federal and provincial governments signed a
historic land claim agreement with First Nations in
Saskatchewan. The First Nations received compensation
which they could use to buy land on the open market for
the bands. They have acquired about 3,079 km2 (761,000
acres; 1,189 sq mi), new reserve lands under this
process. Some First Nations have used their settlement to
invest in urban areas, including Regina and Saskatoon.
