Winter in Saskatchewan offers outdoor enthusiasts countless adventures, including incredible ice fishing. Once the lakes and rivers across the province freeze, communities of ice fishing shacks pop up.

Here are some ideas to help you find the perfect Saskatchewan-made gift or experience for friends and loved ones.

Explore, sip and savour exceptional flavours from one of these breweries and distilleries across Saskatchewan.

It’s that time of year when things go bump in the night. Ghosts, goblins and witches appear. Scarecrows frighten more than birds away and zombies walk amongst the living.

Imagine standing amidst the serene boreal forest, your heart racing with excitement as you spot a majestic elk grazing at dawn or a cunning fox darting through the underbrush. Prince Albert National Park is a stunning sanctuary for wildlife and a dream come true for anyone passionate about wildlife photography. 

With a change of seasons, comes a change of plans. Time to transition from beach days to the corn maze. Fill your calendar with these fun ways to spend fall days in Saskatchewan.
