Understand

Despite Saskatchewan's prairie climate, there is a surprising variety in the landscape, including the hills and lakes in the north, a lake with water that is denser than the Dead Sea, and the North and South Saskatchewan rivers.

It also has various historical sites related to the 1885 rebellion, such as Batoche.

The fresh air and open sky are other distinctive features of the prairie. There is little light pollution, and therefore stargazing would be wonderful, if not for the mosquitos in the summer and the cold temperatures and winds in the winter.

Saskatchewan's population used to be primarily rural, but is becoming more urban. The population has been declining for many years, since young people have been leaving to pursue better opportunities in other provinces. Farming remains the largest sector of the economy, though it is becoming economically unviable. There are some attempts to grow other sectors of the economy, such as scientific research and technology. For example, a synchotron is being built at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

Saskatchewan, unlike the rest of Canada, does not participate in Daylight Savings Time. This means that in the winter, it is in the same time zone as Manitoba, and in the summer it is in the same time zone as Alberta.

• Oilfield industry is very extensive in the south eastern section of the province. Possibly second to Alberta in production (?), but that is pending the offshore fields in the Maritimes coming online. (Jan 2006)

• Mining: Potash (Kindersley?). Lignite coal (Estevan). Uranium deposits in extreme north.
