Living in Saskatchewan
Live where the quality of life is high and the cost of living is low. Vibrant cities, beautiful scenery, community charm and a strong economy make Saskatchewan a great place for friends and family.
Here are a few of the reasons we live here and why the province attracts more and more extraordinary people.
Cost of living
Housing costs are lower compared to many cities, and homes are affordable for most families. Vehicle insurance costs are lower and the province has the lowest sales tax compared to other provinces that charges a sales tax.
Commute times
With an average commuting time of 20 minutes, you'll get to and from work quickly and have more time to spend with family, volunteering, or just relaxing.
Health care system
We're the home of Medicare, and health care remains a priority in this province. Residents don't pay any health care premiums.
Education
We have a renowned K-12 system and excellent post-secondary institutions, including technical colleges and universities. Your child can enjoy being a part of sports teams, drama clubs and music programs.
Spectacular scenery
This is the Land of Living Skies. Take one look at a prairie sunset and you'll know why. The landscape is varied, and includes grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes, a northern desert with giant sand dunes, vast open spaces and incredible plant and animal life.
Vibrant culture
Saskatchewan is home to a rich and talented community of artists, actors, dancers, musicians and so much more. Many celebrate traditions handed down from one generation to the next, providing ample opportunity to experience diverse cultures right here at home.
Getting involved
People helping people has always been a Saskatchewan way of life, so it's no surprise that we're known as the volunteer capital of Canada. Whether helping to host a national event or assisting with a school fundraiser, you'll find rewarding opportunities to get involved in your community and make life-long friends.
