Saskatoon

Saskatoon is the largest city in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. The population in 2016 was 246,376 (up 10.6% from 2011).^[1] The name Saskatoon comes from the Cree inanimate noun "misâskwatômina," which refers to a sweet, violet-colored berry that grows in the area. Former Canadian Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker lived in Saskatoon but later moved to Prince Albert.
