    I was randomly surfing UA-cam and came across your video of Saskatoon. I’ve lived in Saskatoon my whole life and it truly is a great city. It’s grown so much since I was a kid. Saskatoon is very active in the summer time with an event almost every weekend. A walk downtown by the river is always a great date night with my girlfriend

      @Shuky Badeer many locals refer to it as "Ghettogreen" ..I think that says enough XD I recommend staying away from anywhere that has a letter of the alphabet as the street name. If you want cheap but not sketchy look in evergreen and willowgrove.

I'm not even Canadian, actually my boyfriend is studying at USask for a period and I left Brazil for one month to visit him. So my first international trip was to Saskatoon, not Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal (still wanna go to these places).

    It was fun as a kid, visiting Saskatoon in the winter. We stayed at the Sheraton, which had a small waterslide and a hot tub. And a nice lil 70s/80s style restaurant. And the Sheraton is right across from the Bessborough-which brought upon me all kinds of nightmares whilst peering across the view at it. Of course, it's quite lovely. But something about it lent itself to horror stories. One highlight, too, was eating at TACO TIME. I was from Kindersley, so we didn't have any kinda taco joint to hit up. As well, there was a mall that was underground. Which is pretty sci-fi. Used to love getting an Orange Julius in the place.

    Thanks for the insight there - it’s been a small while since I have been there from Ontario but what I really enjoyed was the people - they were naturally warm and outgoing !
    I have been there both at -43C (without the wind-chill) to +27C it’s always great there !

      Speaking as a fellow Brit, It is a beautiful city. A friend of mine moved over to that part of Canada years ago, and lives in a small prairie town. When I am over, we often go into the city during the weekends with his family. Lots of brilliant restaurants/Cafés. (I recommend D'lish by Tish and if you like Indian, it has to be Kashmere).

    From WA state, I've bicycled through in 2012 then made it a final bike touring destination in 2018. Throughly enjoyed it and the salt of the earth people I met. Most everybody I told (Americans) that I've been there, have no clue where it is nor the closeness to the boreal forest just further north. One of my best freinds is from there! Hands down, one of my favorite Canadian cities!!

Saskatoon at one point, and may still have, the most restaurants in Canada per capita. There are so many great restaurants. Another great restaurant in Stoon is Las Palapas. It's a must stop every year when I am back for a visit. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks Alina, a great video of some more of Saskatoon, (known as Toon city) ))))). As always you shared some great food, I loved the pie and ice cream. It was great seeing your Dad and also Laine. You have a great family that supports you and forever blessed to have them. Thanks for all you have shown in this city, I would definitely visit if I ever get to Canada. Be safe and always a joy to see your smile in everything you show us. You are driving, so what's next? ❤👍😊

    Thank you (and you amazing co-hosts: your Dad and Laine) for the lovely tour of Toontown. I've learned a lot more about this city through your content than anywhere else. Looking forward to your road trip videos!

    On a road trip to Alaska in a 1986 Chevy Z 24 in 1990? I had my car's oil changed in Saskatoon at a quickie lube and it was the very first time they had seen that type of car in their bay. They were fascinated by the electronic displays on the dashboard. That town always impressed me as clean and very safe.

    Great video! Brings back memories when I visited Saskatoon 22 years ago. A girl I was dating then took me to a Japanese restaurant in the historic Bessborough hotel. I think it was called Samurai.

    Sas is a unique place, I live in the city but go to rural places. Your dad is cool, I chuckled when he makes a comment, he has a unique personality, tough but gentle too. Love to see Lian, the other side of people your circle!# Looking forward!#

    There is soooo much to do in Saskatoon! Downtown Saskatoon is something between a modern metropolis and an old fashioned paradise! Such a beautiful place, even after the countless visits!

      And yet...it ain't what it used to be. Lived there from 87 to 2000... many people live there and work two and sometimes three part time jobs just to exist.

    For some reason Saskatchewan feels colder in winter than other Provinces even if they’re enjoying brutally cold weather.
    I drove from Winnipeg MB when it was -50C.
    I hit Saskatoon where it was -37C.
    Saskatoon felt much colder!
    But I must say Saskatchewan in general has the most beautiful and friendly women in Canada!

    As I've stated Saskatoon is my favorite prairie city it just has it's own vibe. Whenever driving east or west it's a stopping point. Alina you know that "" Not Bad" for most farmers and ranchers is pretty high praise. In past years, I've occasionally booked something through Flight Centers, but never in Saskatoon. I wonder what my reaction would be if I realized that the globe trotting UA-camr I'm watching, had booked some trip for me years earlier.

    • @AlinaMcleod

      It is a lovely city! Working at flight center definitely had some benefits but overall I did not enjoy working there lol
