Study Tours
Innovation, education and fun are hallmarks of this year's Annual Conference study tours.
Did you know?
We all know Saskatoon is Saskatchewan's largest city. You may know the city is at the heart of Saskatchewan's crop exports sector. But did you know the City of Bridges is striving to meet growing demand for housing, transportation and infrastructure?
This, at a time when many Canadian municipalities are working to reduce their geographical footprint and greenhouse gas emissions?
Highest GDP - community values
For the last several years, Saskatoon has posted among the highest gross domestic product (GDP) growth of any Canadian city. Saskatoon has maintained this growth despite the North American recession.
The following projects highlight how Saskatoon has managed major economic growth, using efficiency and environmental responsibility. The city's actions reflect its community values and contribute to residents' quality of life.
Note: Study tours are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. All tours have limited space and are based on availability. Book early to avoid disappointment.
