Saskatchewan is one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada in terms of economic and demographic growth, due in large part to the arrival of immigrants from around the world. It is well-known for its vast prairie landscape, being one of the prairie provinces. Saskatchewan’s economy is based mainly on agriculture, forestry, fishing, as well as natural resources such as oil and gas. Saskatchewan is home to two major cities, Saskatoon and Regina.
