About Saskatoon
YXE
Saskatoon is a commercial and educational centre located on Treaty Six territory in the homeland of the Metis in what is now the province of Saskatchewan. It lies along a bend of the South Saskatchewan River, 346 km north of the Canada-US border, 224 km from Alberta and 344 km from Manitoba. It is central Saskatchewan’s great crossroads - a hub for water, rail, and highway crossings east and west, north and south.
