“Refreshing” aptly describes the sentiments of visitors to Saskatoon; a city infused by a lively ambiance, friendly hospitality and rich, diverse cultural experiences.
Visitors from far and wide delight in the city's beautiful parkland setting. Inviting natural riverbank parks and trails make jogging, biking and casual hikes easy and relaxing, invigorating and refreshing; right in the heart of the city. Graced by the natural splendour of the South Saskatchewan River, Saskatoon provides convenient amenities, in an inviting natural setting.
With its growing population of 230,000, the city has virtually no traffic of which to speak. This allows for quick access to Saskatchewan’s largest city which offers a rich 6,000 year history and a diverse cultural experience.
A refreshment break is easy in Saskatoon - rejuvenate with an espresso in the trendy Broadway shopping district, delicious authentic local cuisine in one of many fine restaurants; check out the latest technology and research advancements, play a round of golf on one of the several award-winning courses, watch Shakespeare under a tent or explore 6000 years of First Nations' culture - it's all in Saskatoon!
It’s no wonder – with its publicly accessible, naturally beautiful riverbank and breathtaking views of the infamously historic bridges - why Saskatoon has become such a fun cosmopolitan place and an ideal location to host the CAHR 2010 Conference.
