More information about the video content bellow:
1. Saskatchewan is a province in western Canada, the only province without natural borders. It has an area of 651,900 square kilometres, nearly 10 percent of which is fresh water, composed mostly of rivers, reservoirs, and the province's 100,000 lakes. Its name derived from the Saskatchewan River. The river was known as kisiskāciwani-sīpiy ("swift flowing river") in the Cree language.

2. Saskatchewan has been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups, and first explored by Europeans in 1690 and settled in 1774. It became a province in 1905, carved out from the vast North-West Territories, which had until then included most of the Canadian Prairies. In the early 20th century the province became known as a stronghold for Canadian social democracy; North America's first social-democratic government was elected in 1944.

3. Regina is the capital city of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is the largest city in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

4. The Athabasca sand dunes, found in the northwest corner of the province near the Northwest Territories, is the most northerly active sand dune formation in the world. The dunes stretch for approximately 100 kilometres along the south shore of Lake Athabasca. They are the largest active dune fields in Canada, and the largest this far north anywhere in the world

5. Did you know there are more roads in Saskatchewan than in any other province in Canada? According to Highways and Infrastructure, there are 26,000 kilometres of highways in the province and a total road surface of 160,000 kilometres – enough to circle the equator four times. When rural and municipal roads are added to the equation, there are over 250,000 kilometres of roads in Saskatchewan.

6. Saskatchewan is the home of medicare, which would become universal health care in Canada. It was started by Premier Tommy Douglas in 1946. Douglas, who was born and raised in Saskatchewan, was chosen as the greatest Canadian in history.

7. Due to an odd combination of geographic and meteorological phenomena, Saskatchewan is known as the sunniest part of Canada. Many places in Saskatchewan have considerably more than 2,000 hours of bright sunshine each year and Estevan, in the southeast, is known as the “sunniest place in Canada,” with an average of 2,435 hours of bright sunshine each year.

I’m an Albertan and I love spending time in this great province. Unrivalled lake fishing, hunting and camping. The people are down to earth real people I can easily relate to.
The people from Alberta and the people from Saskatchewan seem to be cut from the same cloth. I think we should merge!

Important:

Please travel to Saskatchewan! I live here and have been to every major city. I’ve been in The sand dunes. It is great to visit if you don’t want to go to a desert. I’ve lived here all my life and never have gotten bored of the thing here!!! Please, If wanting to have a trip, go to Saskatchewan! It’s warm, flat, friendly and exciting! Lakes, rivers, the dunes, the amazing life! Never listen to the bad things, we all love our province!

I myself have never heard of 7 tornadoes occurring in Saskatchewan in a 1 year period, let alone per year, I think this is incorrect. I have lived here all my life.

Saskatchewan became a province in 1905, not 1906 as the video states.

I really wish the capital city of Regina would pronounce that name in a better way (Pronounce it "Ruh-Jeena"). The name "Ruh-Jina" sounds really close to, well, a female anatomy...😊
