Saskatchewan, one of Canada's four western provinces, is located in the heart of North America. Plains Indians are credited with originating the name Saskatchewan - 'kisiskatchewan' meaning the river that flows swiftly. Half the province is covered by forest, one-third is farmland and one-eighth is fresh water. Although the province is dependent on the farm economy, two-thirds of its people live in cities and towns. Saskatchewan is the only province with entirely man-made boundaries. It is home to Canada's only training academy for Royal Canadian Mounted Police recruits, in Regina. The city of Estevan is Canada's sunshine capital, averaging 2540 sunshine-filled hours each year. Saskatchewan's most outstanding scenery is preserved in its national, provincial and regional parks.

St. John's, the capital city, takes its name from St. John's Day, June 24. For over 500 years, the City of Legends has been visited by explorers, adventures, soldiers and pirates. The nightlife in St. John's is legendary, and rightly so. Once a rough port populated by tars from around the world, the downtown core now features restaurants with everything on the menus, music of all kinds, art galleries, theatre. From Signal Hill you can see the busy harbour and much of the city. The people stemming largely from southwest England and southeast Ireland, they speak with unique accent. A dialect that not's quite Devon, not quite Cork, but definitely familiar. It is a thoroughly modern city, despite its relaxed pace and unique view of itself and the world.
