Saskatoon, a commercial and educational centre in the Province of Saskatchewan, is situated on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River in Townships 36 and 37, Ranges 4, 5 and 6, West of the Third Meridian. It lies 348 kilometers north of the boundary between the United States and Canada, 225 kilometers from the western boundary and 346 kilometers from the eastern boundary of the Province. It is the only large city between Winnipeg and Edmonton, being 708 kilometers northwest of Winnipeg and a little over 483 kilometers southeast of Edmonton. Eight bridges cross the river within the City limits. Five of these bridges are for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, including the Circle Drive South Bridge, which opened in 2013. The other two serve the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways. Saskatoon’s 8th bridge is the 1907 Traffic Bridge, which was closed in 2010 because of safety concerns and is scheduled to be replaced. History The oldest evidence of habitation in the Saskatoon area is an 11,000-year old archaeological site in the city’s Woodlawn Cemetery. Other sites include buffalo kills, teepee rings and a medicine wheel, forming an important link with the past. In 1882, the Temperance Colonization Society (TCS) in Ontario was given a substantial grant of land along the South Saskatchewan River on which to establish an agricultural community based on the philosophies and ideals of the Temperance League, an organization opposed to the use of alcohol. In the summer of 1882, a party under John Lake surveyed the grant area and on the advice of Chief Whitecap chose what is now the Nutana area, to be a town site and service centre for the new colony. Lake returned to survey the town site in 1883, and the first permanent settlers arrived that summer. They travelled by railway from Ontario to Moose Jaw and then travelled overland to Saskatoon. In 1890 the Qu’Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railway was built through Saskatoon, crossing the river at the site of the present-day Senator Sid Buckwold Bridge and making the journey to Saskatoon significantly easier. The QLLS station house and facilities were built on the west side of the river, setting the stage for further development there. The precise origin of the name “Saskatoon” is not completely clear. Tradition has it that it was conferred by John Lake and is derived from the Cree word “misāskwatōmina”, which refers to the Saskatoon berries that grow in such profusion here. Some sources, however, have suggested that the name for this area predates the founding of the Temperance Colony, and was given by Cree people who stopped here to cut P a g e | 1 the Saskatoon willow wands to use for arrow shafts. The word “misāskwat” refers to the willows and “manimisāskwatān” to the place where they are cut. By 1899, Saskatoon consisted of a few houses on the east side of the river (the original Temperance Colony settlement), while on the west side was the station house, the section foreman’s house, the Mounted Police barracks, a stone building, a hotel and about six other houses and shacks. In 1901, the west bank settlement was incorporated as the Village of Saskatoon. The settlement on the east bank renamed itself “Nutana”. In 1903, Saskatoon was incorporated as a town and Nutana was incorporated as

    April 13, 2021 His Worship Mayor Charlie Clark and Members of City Council City of Saskatoon 222 – 3rd Avenue North Saskatoon, SK, S7K 0J5 Subject: City Council Budget and Priorities – Downtown Entertainment District To His Worship and Members of City Council, On behalf of the key stakeholders in the proposed Downtown Entertainment and Event District, we are pleased to provide this written letter to City Council demonstrating strong unified support of the Downtown Entertainment District. The purpose of this letter is to request consideration for committed and continued development of the Downtown Entertainment District, incorporating a new Convention Centre (inclusive of Sid Buckwold Theatre) and the Entertainment and Sports Arena. City Council will be inundated with capital project proposals through the budget cycle, focusing on post COVID recovery. It our wish that strong consideration and high prioritization be given to development of the Downtown Entertainment District during these deliberations. The development of the Entertainment District, including both of the anchor venues, is critical to enable Saskatoon to not only bounce back from COVID, but to thrive in the face of that recovery. Economic Impact of Downtown Entertainment District The arena and convention centre (including Sid Buckwold Theatre) are essential components of the economic vitality of the City of Saskatoon, and a significant draw for both business and leisure travel. Entertainment and conference facilities are known to be important drivers of the national and regional economies through domestic and international visitation, facilitating small business, and fostering innovation. Studies validating the economic impact of both venues have been completed in recent years.

  • Le Canada & Les Jeux Olympiques D‟Hiver „En Bref‟
    Le Canada & les Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver „En bref‟ Introduction Le 12 février 2010, Vancouver sera la ville hôte des XXIes Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, elle accueillera les athlètes du monde et ceux du Canada. Cette célébration marquera un nouveau chapitre dans la longue et riche histoire de la participation canadienne aux Jeux d’hiver. Le Comité Olympique Canadien a envoyé des athlètes à toutes les éditions des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver et James Merrick, membre du Comité International Olympique (CIO) au Canada, fut un supporter passionné de l’idée de créer des Jeux d’hiver séparés. Lorsque la « Semaine de sports d’hiver », qui devait plus tard être reconnue rétroactivement par le CIO comme les premiers Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, eut lieu à Chamonix (France), du 25 janvier au 5 février 1924, un petit groupe de Canadiens étaient présents pour écrire les débuts de cette histoire. Les sports et les disciplines que pratiquent les Canadiens Aux Iers Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver, les hommes canadiens participèrent à trois des neuf sports et disciplines au programme : patinage de vitesse, hockey sur glace et patinage artistique. L’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse se composait d’un athlète : Charles Gorman. La délégation féminine était également limitée puisqu’elle ne comptait que Cecil Eustace. Eustace concourut en patinage artistique, dans l’épreuve individuelle et avec Melville Rogers dans l’épreuve par couple. Le programme olympique et la délégation canadienne se sont grandement développés au cours des vingt éditions des Jeux d’hiver célébrés jusqu’à présent. Aux XXes Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver à Turin en 2006, les athlètes canadiens ont pris part à l’ensemble des 15 sports et disciplines pour les hommes et aux 13 pour les femmes figurant au programme.

  • Historic House May Be Saved
    Historic house may be saved http://www.thestarphoenix.com/story_print.html?id=5931112&sponsor= Historic house may be saved BY JASON WARICK, THE STARPHOENIX DECEMBER 31, 2011 Alan Carlson stands inside the stripped interior of a house on Queen Street owned by his father-in-law Tim Ryan. Photograph by: Greg Pender, The Starphoenix, The StarPhoenix A 99-year-old City Park home may be saved from the wrecking ball if a Saskatoon man can get permission to move the massive structure to his property across the river. "We're working on it right now. I hope it works out," said Orion Morgan. "I think the character and history of the home makes it worthwhile. You can't get that kind of character anymore." Morgan, who owns a large lot on Saskatchewan Crescent between the Broadway and University bridges, read a StarPhoenix article Monday about the home's impending demolition. Owner Tim Ryan, who plans to build a condominium on the site, had offered the house to the city. Ryan said he could have it moved across the street and integrated into the revamped Kinsmen Park. City officials declined, Ryan said. Then, an unusual course of events led to the original oak interior fixtures being removed and taken to La Ronge. It caused Ryan to think demolition was the only option. Heritage advocates expressed concern about the loss of the property, noting its historic and architectural significance. Morgan called Ryan to ask if he could have the house anyway. Morgan will have to pay the estimated $80,000 moving fee, but Ryan will give him the house for nothing.
