Saskatoon at a glance

Saskatoon takes its name from the Cree word misâskwatômina, the saskatoon berry that grows wild along the river valley. Saskatoon is home to the University of Saskatchewan, founded in 1907, whose campus also hosts the Canadian Light Source synchrotron. Saskatoon's riverbank is managed by the Meewasin Valley Authority, created in 1979, which maintains the Meewasin Trail along the South Saskatchewan River through the city. Saskatoon was founded in 1883 by the Temperance Colonization Society, a Toronto-based Methodist group that planned an alcohol-free settlement on the South Saskatchewan River. Wanuskewin Heritage Park, just north of Saskatoon, protects archaeological sites that record more than 6,000 years of Northern Plains Indigenous history. Saskatoon is the business centre of Saskatchewan's potash and uranium industries, with major mining companies headquartered in the city.

All guides in Saskatoon

126 topics in 13 categories, each written for Saskatoon.

Every guide below follows the same plan: five key points, three in-depth sections, a section specific to the search term, the local context in Saskatoon, a five-step checklist, the legal framework, responsible gambling and an FAQ. The links at the bottom of each guide lead to nearby areas and related topics.

The legal framework, in short

Under the Criminal Code, gambling is run or licensed by the provinces; in Saskatchewan that means PlayNow.com, operated by the Saskatchewan Indigenous Gaming Authority (SIGA). Private sites reachable from Saskatoon usually hold offshore licences (Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao) and are not supervised by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA). Nothing targets the player, but you give up provincial consumer protections if something goes wrong. The minimum gambling age in Saskatchewan is 19, and sites check it with ID before any withdrawal.

Gambling responsibly in Saskatoon

Gambling should stay entertainment. Decide how much and how long before you start, never try to win back what you lost, and switch on the limits on offer. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-306-6789; the service covers the whole province, Saskatoon included. Self-exclusion programs run by SIGA cover the provincial site and land-based venues.
