SASKATCHEWAN is truly an agricultural province, although production of oil and natural gas and mining for potash, uranium and coal supplement the economy. The wide central agricultural belt is characterized by endless stretches of golden fields, complemented by the intense blue of the summer skies.

To the south is Cypress Hills, a surprising region of rolling hills and forested valleys that rises out of a semi-arid plain. The capital city, Regina, centres on manmade Wascana Lake. A large park surrounding the lake houses the Legislature Buildings, the Museum of Natural History, the University of Regina and Saskatchewan's Centre of the Arts. The city was once the headquarters of the original Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the training depot is still located here, as well as a museum. Saskatoon, the "City of Bridges," is well situated on the winding Saskatchewan River. Saskatchewan's largest centre, it is home to the University of Saskatchewan.
