Saskatchewan
Located in the prairie region of Canada,
Saskatchewan is bordered by Manitoba, Alberta, the Northwest
Territories and the United States, and is the only Canadian province
with entirely man-made boundaries. The province is 651 900 km2 in
area. Half of it consists of forests, one-third of cultivated lands,
and one-eighth is covered with water.
The Economy
Saskatchewan has changed greatly since
it became a province in 1905. Back then, agriculture was the only
industry, and it centered on wheat farming. Today, Saskatchewan
produces over 54 percent of the wheat grown in Canada. Saskatchewan
is also a major producer of cattle and hogs. The average
Saskatchewan farm is about 420 hectares in size.
Northern Saskatchewan's forests are the province's most important
renewable natural resource. Saskatchewan is also a province rich in
minerals and
is the leading exporter of potash.
Research and development is a growing
business in Saskatchewan, as attested to by the inauguration of
Saskatoon's Innovation Centre and more recently, the construction of
the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, one of only a few such
facilities in the world. The province's technological potential in
agriculture, space technology and biotechnology is now recognized
internationally.
