Climate

Saskatchewan is a landlocked province with large distances to moderating bodies of waters. As a result, its climate is extremely continental, rendering severe winters throughout the province. Southern areas have very warm or hot summers. Middle and Yellow Grass near the U.S. border are tied for the highest ever recorded temperatures in Canada with 45 °C (113 °F) observed at both locations on July 5, 1937. In winter, temperatures below −45 °C (−49 °F) are possible even in the south during extreme cold snaps.

About us

History

Saskatchewan has been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups, and first explored by Europeans in 1690 and settled in 1774. It became a province in 1905, carved out from the vast North-West Territories, which had until then included most of the Canadian Prairies. In the early 20th century the province became known as a stronghold for Canadian social democracy. In 1992, the federal and provincial governments signed a historic land claim agreement with First Nations in Saskatchewan. The First Nations received compensation and were permitted to buy land on the open market for the bands. Some First Nations have used their settlement to invest in urban areas, including Saskatoon.

Economy

Historically, Saskatchewan's economy was primarily associated with agriculture. However, increasing diversification has resulted in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting only making up 6.8% of the province's GDP. Saskatchewan grows a large portion of Canada's grain. Saskatchewan is the world's largest exporter of mustard seed. Mining is a major industry in the province, with Saskatchewan being the world's largest exporter of potash and uranium.Oil and natural gas production is also a very important part of Saskatchewan's economy.

About us

Government and politics

Saskatchewan has the same form of government as the other Canadian provinces with a lieutenant-governor, premier, and a unicameral legislature. The current Premier of Saskatchewan is Scott Moe, who took over the leadership of the Saskatchewan Party in 2018.  Numerous smaller political parties also run candidates in provincial elections, including the Green Party of Saskatchewan, Liberal Party of Saskatchewan, and the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan.
