Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" On the Unique Things About Saskatchewan

Since the middle of April when I learned I am a "Lost Canadian", I've been learning about Canada. While I have learned many things,  there clearly are a great many things I still do not know and have yet to learn. Today I'm sharing some of the unique things I've learned online about the Canadian Province of  Saskatchewan . . .

Saskatchewan is a unique Canadian province known for its giant flat prairies, over 100,000 lakes, and the birthplace of the Canadian one-dollar coin. Its name comes from a Cree word meaning "swift-flowing river." 

Geography and Nature

Lots of Water: About 10% of the province is fresh water, meaning there are over 100,000 lakes and rivers to explore.
Floating Lake: Little Manitou Lake has five times the salt of the ocean. You can float in it without trying, much like the Dead Sea.
Geometric Shape: Its borders are man-made lines of latitude and longitude, making it look like a neat geometric block on the map.
Massive Skies: The license plates say "Land of Living Skies" because the massive horizon gives you amazing cloud views and sunsets. 
Agriculture – particularly wheat and other cereal crops, but also oilseeds and livestock – continues to be the mainstay of the Saskatchewan economy. The province has 40 percent of Canada’s farmland and produces 60 percent of the country’s wheat.
Minerals & More - Saskatchewan has half the world's potash reserves, Canada’s largest heavy oil reserves, coal, gold, and rich uranium deposits.
