I had been to Saskatoon once briefly, to give a workshop, back in 1999. Yvon came out and joined me there, but we didn't have a lot of time to explore the city. It was a delight to go back in 2018 on a warm and sunny weekend, especially to check out the new and impressive Remai Modern art gallery, which opened beside the river in the winter. That gallery had great shows on, and I ended up eating very well in the city on this short visit.

Saskatoon along the River (78 photos) - This gallery starts at the Bessborough Hotel, and moves along the river's edge. It covers the two Kiwanis Parks, crosses the river at the Broadway Bridge and descends to the colourful painted rocks, goes through Friendship Park, and ends up at the new Remai Modern art gallery.

Other Downtown Saskatoon (57 photos) - This gallery is the remainder of the downtown area, and starts with views along 21st Street. It includes office buildings, commercial buildings, City Hall, a few murals, the former train station and ends in a former industrial area north west of the downtown.
-
University of Saskatchewan (26 photos) - This includes buildings around campus and a sculpture garden overlooking the river.
-
Other Saskatoon Photos (71 photos) - This is a little bit from visits all over the city. It starts in Riversdale, west of downtown, where I visited a market and ate out. It includes a few shots from Nutana, across the river from downtown. North of downtown, there are shots at the Kinsmen Park, the University Bridge and Woodlawn Cemetery, as well as of the Robin Hood Plant. It also includes photos of the Western Development Museum in the south of the city, and ends at the airport.

Saskatoon in 1999 (8 photos) - These photos were taken in November 1999, when I gave a workshop in the city. Yvon came out and spent time there with me. These are not terribly vivid photos, and many of them overlap with what I took later, but I present them anyways.
