Saskatoon

Saskatoon is the most populous city in Saskatchewan with 223,200 inhabitants (2010). It is in central Saskatchewan, on the South Saskatchewan River. Saskatoon's economy is fueled by the potash industry, agriculture, oil and gas as well as livestock, uranium, gold, diamond, coal and their spin off industries. Nearly two-thirds of the world's recoverable potash reserves are located in the Saskatoon region. "Saskatoon" is derived from 'mis-sask-quah-toomina', the Cree Indian name for a local indigenous berry.
