Saskatoon () is the largest metropolis in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It straddles a bend in the South Saskatchewan River in the fundamental region of the province. It is located along the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway, and has served equally the cultural and economic hub of central Saskatchewan since its founding in 1882 as a Temperance colony.[ten]

With a 2016 census population of 246,376, Saskatoon is the largest metropolis in the province, and the 17th largest Census Metropolitan Area in Canada, with a 2016 demography population of 295,095. The Metropolis of Saskatoon has estimated its population to be 278,500 as of July 2018,[11] while Statistics Canada has estimated the CMA'due south population to be 336,614 as of 2020.[12] Saskatoon is classified every bit a Sufficiency global city by GaWC.[13]

Saskatoon is home to the University of Saskatchewan, the Meewasin Valley Potency (which protects the South Saskatchewan River and provides for the metropolis's popular riverbank park spaces), and Wanuskewin Heritage Park (a National Celebrated Site of Canada and UNESCO Globe Heritage applicant representing 6,000 years of First Nations history). The Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344, the about populous rural municipality in Saskatchewan, surrounds the urban center and contains many of the developments associated with it, including Wanuskewin. Saskatoon is named later the saskatoon berry which is native to the region, and is itself derived from the Cree misâskwatômina . The city has a significant Indigenous population and several urban Reserves. The city has nine river crossings and is nicknamed "Paris of the Prairies" and "Span City".

Celebrated neighbourhoods of Saskatoon include Nutana and Riversdale, which were separate towns before amalgamating with the town of Saskatoon and incorporating every bit a metropolis in 1906. Nutana, Riversdale, their historic main streets of Broadway Avenue and 20th Street, too as the downtown core and other fundamental neighbourhoods are seeing significant reinvestment and redevelopment. Sutherland, the rail boondocks annexed by the metropolis in 1956 that lies beyond the University lands, is now another historic former city.

Etymology [edit]

The name Saskatoon (in Cree: sâskwatôn ᓭᐢᒃᐚᑐᐣ , "Saskatoon" or the locatives: misâskwatôminihk ᒥᓭᐢᐠᐘᑑᒥᓂᕽ , lit: "at the saskatoon berry", misâskwatôminiskâhk ᒥᓵᐢᐠᐘᑑᒥᓂᐢᑳᕽ , "at the identify of many saskatoon berries", mînisihk ᒦᓂᓯᕽ "at the drupe") comes from the Cree inanimate substantive misâskwatômina ᒥᓵᐢᐠᐘᑑᒥᓇ "saskatoon berries", which refers to the sugariness, violet-coloured berry that grows in the area.[xiv]

City of Saskatoon archivist Jeff O'Brien wrote that the traditional story of the name is that it was due to the presence of Saskatoon berries in the surface area. "There is even an almost certainly counterfeit story to the result that John Lake, upon being given a handful of these berries and told their proper name immediately cried "Arise, Saskatoon – Queen of the North!"

However, he wrote, "the truth appears to be somewhat less dramatic. The expanse was long-known to the local Cree as a good place to stock up on willow wands for arrow shafts. Thus the name of the place was "Sask-kwa-tan" – roughly, "the place where willows are cut."[fifteen]

History [edit]

Barr Colonists in Saskatoon in 1903. The settlement of Saskatoon saw an economic blast when the travelling Barr Colonists encamped around the community.

In 1882, the Toronto-based Temperance Colonization Club was granted 21 sections of state straddling the S Saskatchewan River, between what is now Warman and Dundurn. The aim of the group was to escape the liquor trade in that city and fix up a "dry" community in the Prairie region. The following year settlers, led past John Neilson Lake, arrived on the site of what is at present Saskatoon and established the get-go permanent settlement. The settlers travelled by railway from Ontario to Moose Jaw then completed the final leg via horse-drawn cart, every bit the railway had nevertheless to be completed to Saskatoon.[xvi]

In 1885 the North-West Rebellion affected the tiny customs in a diverseness of ways. Chief Whitecap and Charles Trottier passed through the present day University campus on their way to join Louis Riel's military machine at Batoche, Saskatchewan. Following the fighting at the Battle of Fish Creek, and the Battle of Batoche, wounded Canadian soldiers convalesced at the Marr Residence which is today a celebrated site. A few died in care and were cached in the Pioneer Cemetery near the Exhibition Grounds.

A boondocks charter for the west side of the river was obtained in 1903 (Nutana became a village in that year). In 1906 Saskatoon became a city with a population of 4,500, which included the communities of Saskatoon, Riversdale and Nutana. In 1955 Montgomery Place and in 1956 the neighbouring town of Sutherland were annexed by the fast-growing Metropolis of Saskatoon.[17]

Geography [edit]

Saskatoon lies on a long belt of rich, potassic chernozem in heart-southern Saskatchewan and is found in the aspen parkland biome. The lack of surrounding mountainous topography gives the urban center a relatively flat grid, though the city does sprawl over a few hills and into a few valleys. The lowest betoken in the city is the river, while the highest point is disputed betwixt the suburb of Sutherland in the east side and the Silverwood-River Heights areas in the city's north terminate. Saskatoon, on a cross-section from west to east, has a general decline in tiptop above ocean level heading towards the river, and on the e bank of the river, the terrain is mostly level until outside the city, where it begins to subtract in elevation again.

Saskatoon is divided into east and due west sides past the South Saskatchewan River. It is then divided into Suburban Evolution Areas (SDA) which are composed of neighbourhoods.[xviii] Street addresses are demarcated into north and south (for avenues aligned in those directions) and similar eastward and west (for streets aligned in those directions). W of the river the demarcation line for north and south addresses is 22nd Street, while east and westward are divided by Idylwyld Drive (north of 20th Street) and Avenue A (south of 20th). On the east side, Lorne Avenue demarcates eastward and westward while Aird Street marks the north–south boundary, except in the Sutherland customs where a separate due east/west demarcation takes place with Central Avenue as the boundary (there is, however, no split north–south divide). Equally a result of the unusual demarcation on the due east side, few streets actually acquit a "North" or "Due west" designation.

A second major h2o feature bated from the river is the Hudson Bay Slough, a remnant of a glacier-formed body of water that at one fourth dimension dominated the northern cease of the urban center. Industrial evolution has resulted in well-nigh of the slough being drained, however a big remnant has been preserved off Artery C as part of RCAF Memorial Park, and another portion remains intact inside the Hudson Bay Industrial area.

Superhighway Lake and Blackstrap Provincial Parks are forty km (25 mi) s of the urban center. Blackstrap Park is often used for school field trips. Batoche is xc km (56 mi) north of the metropolis.

Climate [edit]

Saskatoon experiences a cold semi-barren climate (Köppen: BSk) most the humid continental climate (Dfb), with typically warm summers and long, cold winters. Climate data from University of Saskatchewan, in the inner city meets semi-arid criteria. This is due to slightly higher average annual temperature and slightly lower average annual precipitation than the Airport, on the city'southward northwest periphery.

The metropolis has 4 singled-out seasons and is in plant hardiness zone 3b.[19] Saskatoon has a dry out climate and sees 340.4 mm (xiii.twoscore in) of atmospheric precipitation per year on average, with the summertime being the wettest season. Saskatoon is sunnier than boilerplate in Canada as a result, averaging 2,268 hours of bright sunshine annually. The extreme temperatures are typically accompanied by beneath boilerplate levels of humidity. Thunderstorms are mutual in the summer months and can exist astringent with torrential rain, hail, loftier winds, intense lightning and, on occasion, tornadoes. The frost-costless growing flavour lasts from 21 May to 15 September,[20] but due to Saskatoon's northerly location, dissentious frosts accept occurred as late as June xiv[21] and over again as early as August. The average daytime high temperature peaks at 25.8 °C (78.4 °F) from July 31 to August 8.[22] [23]

The "Blizzard of 2007" was described by many residents as the worst they had seen and paralyzed the city with its low visibility, extreme cold and large volume of snowfall.[24] Winds rose to over 90 km/h (56 mph) and an estimated 25 cm (9.viii in) of snowfall barbarous throughout the mean solar day.[25] Many area residents took refuge overnight at area work places, shopping centres, hospitals and the university.

The highest temperature always recorded in Saskatoon was 41.five °C (107 °F) on 6 June 1988.[26] The lowest temperature always recorded was −50.0 °C (−58 °F) on i February 1893.[27]
