Our Vision
Putting nature at the heart of all our decisions.
The City of Saskatoon is just over a hundred years old, but the land on which it sits is ancient. People have been coming to these bends in the South Saskatchewan River for at least 500 generations, drawn by rich resources of shelter, fuel, water, food, medicines and healing stories. Today, though much has changed, we are here for the same reasons, still seeking the basis of life, still seeking to live in a good way with other beings: two-legged and four-legged, flowering, furred, feathered or finny.
The NatureCity Experience is your invitation to explore and appreciate the one-of-a-kind place that we are privileged to call our home.
Showing off our wild side.
We invite you to join us in enjoying the wild side of Saskatoon: the magnificent river valley, parks, conservation areas, gardens and urban forests, together with the fascinating creatures and native plants that surround us.
Wild about Saskatoon advocates for civic and provincial policies and actions that support the health of local ecosystems in this time of ecological crisis. We take a stand for the protection, connection and enhancement of natural areas as the basis of health for people and All Our Relations. We encourage everyone to express their love for Nature by speaking up.
