Saskatchewan ........... Hard to Spell, Easy to Draw

Saskatchewan is the place that just over a million people call home, it is a province of vast diversity....there are several urban centres other than Regina and Saskatoon with vast prairie landscape in between.  So many people never leave the TransCanada Highway so all they see is the straight flat land of the province and not the beautiful landscape on either side of that southern highway. 

In the Southwest we have https://greatsouthwest.ca/great-sandhills/ and everyone should go out there on a nice summer day with a crazy carpet!  Some of the communities close are Sceptre and Prelate and south of the TransCanada is Simmie, go for a drive and see the sand dunes along with antelope, elk, moose, mule deer and many other 4 legged creatures.

 Lemsford, Saskatchewan is home to a ferry that crosses the South Saskatchewan River, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemsford_Ferry.

 Maple Creek is south of the TransCanada and is the entryway to the Cypress Hills.  Eastend, Saskatchewan is where Medalta got the clay to use in the plant in Medicine Hat to make the pottery and is located at the east end of the Cypress Hills.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypress_Hills_(Canada), from the top of the hills it feels as if you can touch the stars and moon, what an amazing place to do some star gazing.

 

If you head north of the TransCanada Highway you will eventually meet the forest with thousands of lakes and dense forest areas.  Prince Albert is called the gateway to the north and leads into some of the best sport fishing lakes in the country where you share the lakes with the loons and the beavers.

Saskatchewan does not seem to have as many advertising pieces as Alberta and British Columbia, perhaps because the province was sparsely populated for many years, perhaps because it was mostly farming communities and there wasn't much money for fancy things, who knows for sure.  That makes it even more fun to find pieces that have that hard to spell province towns on them.

Two places from Saskatchewan one is world famous and the other is a little town in Southwest Saskatchewan where some very important clay was found.  The writing is hard to read on the Polar Bear but you make our Souvenir of Eastend
