Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis people. We reaffirm our relations which we are bound to by our ancestors through Treaty, to steward this land and seek mutual benefit on this land for as long as the grass grows, the sun shines, and the river flows. We pay our respect to the First Nation and Metis ancestors of this place and honour Elders and Survivors as we bring awareness to Indian Residential and Day Schools, The Sixties Scoop, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirited. To acknowledge this territory and its keepers on their traditional terms is to act in reciprocity so that truth may be understood, and reconciliation is made possible.

“It is essential to understand that our history has brought us to reside on this land”

Wherever you hail from, you’ll feel the specialness of this land. We invite you to Discover Saskatoon. This guide is a resource to help you discover all that Saskatoon has to offer. Our vibrant city is in full swing with events and experiences that highlight the diversity of our city and showcase the richness of Arts & Culture here in Saskatoon.

A city on the edge of nature, Saskatoon is the perfect mix of natural beauty and urban amenities. We invite you to explore the winding river and then visit the world’s largest collection of Picasso linocuts. From Indigenous history to modern art, prairie fresh ingredients to contemporary cuisine, kilometers of riverside trails to storied city streets, you’ll make memories and meaningful connections here.

To recognize this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside, and a way of honouring the Indigenous and Métis people who have lived here for thousands of years. It is essential to understand that our history has brought us to reside on the land, and to seek to understand our place within this history. Further, it is important to affirm our commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation
