Saskatoon In The Summer | Exploring Downtown, Broadway + Riversdale

Being the largest city in Saskatchewan, Saskatoon is known as 'The Paris of the Prairies' because of its many bridges, quaint cafes and love for summer festivals. Join me on a walking tour of some of the best neighborhoods in the city like the downtown core, Broadway and Riversdale, as we visit some local restaurants, street fairs and the Remai Modern Art Museum. Let me know in the comments if you have been to Saskatoon before and your favorite spots!

In a parallel universe I would be living in Saskatoon. I applied visa for Queensland Australia and Saskatchewan Canada at the same time 8 years ago, and did quite a bit of research for both of them. Finally Australia granted my visa earlier, so I end in Brisbane. Always interested in Saskatoon life.

[@Adxm095]

Hmm Australia or shitty canada? Well no shiet.

[@WarChild260]

Lol you and I have the same story, just 20 years apart

[@quaaaaaaaar]

bris is a lot like sask

@@quaaaaaaaar If there were koalas, dingoes, and kangaroos, right?

[@dave_yeg8596]

that place dont look good in snow and super high taxes, -30 to -40 c in winter, so much for climate change. i know.

[@randyscott8660]

I use to walk that train bridge twice a day.. In the morning and evening working at the University..I remember each morning on my way to work I would always meet the Train and the Engineer would always wave and blow his horn..Great memories..

[@freddifish4179]

I was born and raised in toon town, and your video was caulk full of pure nostalgia for me. When I was younger we used to walk everywhere we went and seeing how some sites have changed and how some seem to be timeless was awesome. I moved outta S'toon in 89 to start a family and while I do love living in a smaller community this gorgeous city will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@aic8326]

@@freddifish4179 might I ask where you moved to?

[@varlikdal4209]

I have been to Saskatoon for 10 days 9 years ago. I loved that town. You helped my memories refresh. I live in Montreal but I wold like to visit Saskatoon again.

[@jamesrea329]

I visited Saskatoon for 5 days over 25 years ago, I’ve always wanted to go back. My favorite was the trails along the river and the bridges, which of course it is famous for. I really liked the railroad bridge you can walk over, where you started. I’ve never been to Regina but I think Saskatoon probably is the best city in Saskatchewan - there’s not much competition in that province!

[@limitles4758]

Regina born,I’ve lived the last 45 years in Victoria which I consider the best city period The last two years I’m back and I find myself in my second favourite city Saskatoon Everything is done right in Saskatoon You definitely want to live downtown if possible Love these videos

[@gordierock4106]

Thanks for that tour. I was born there, just off five corners so Broadway was the world. Again thanks again. Cheers

[@wifferste]

Originally grew up in the Wildwood neighborhood. Favourites in the city have always been the Meewasin Valley trail, Midtown Plaza, Broadway, the Forestry Farm, golfing - Holiday Park, the Willows, and Saskatoon West before the city gave it to the Saskatoon Golf and Country in exchange for latter's land to build south Circle Drive. Outside of the city, Beaver Creek and Pike Lake. A little trivia, the Land Titles building was one of the filming locations in the Disney TV movie "I Downloaded a Ghost".

[@lostjackets4006]

Being from Australia I knew nothing about Saskatoon before and now it is my ambition to go there. Thanks for the inspiring video and your dad is the greatest!

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! It's really nice to visit Saskatoon with you and your dad! Much has changed since I lived in Saskatoon, but some things remain the same. The Broadway neighborhood remains classic! Saskatoon was a great place to live as a student! I have some wonderful memories. Thanks for the tour!

I admire you always Alina, how you are taking care of your dad. Good job and your channel is always great!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you so much!

[@Hyberlol]

Saskatoon is definitely the most under rated in Canada. It is a hidden gem for sure. In my opinion it's addition of the Riverwalk makes it the number one the entire country.

[@darellnewsome4459]

Great to visit Saskatoon with you and your Dad Alina! It looks really nice there....at least in the summer of course 😊

[@Triussk61]

Great video Alina, always enjoy when you drag the "Old Man" around! Mom's pretty entertaining as well. Nice descriptions of Saskatoon!

Born in Saskatoon and lived many places. Great city I still like to visit. I like seeing how it’s changing and getting ideas for our next visit.

Thank you very much!

[@cathygillies7271]

Hi, Alina, I'm enjoying your videos back home in Canada. Your Dad is a great sport to travel with! As we say as a compliment here in Cape Breton -- he's 'tough' to doing it and joining in your adventures!

[@davidreid3634]

Another fine video. I always enjoy the tour of my old neigborhood ..... Nutana looks great.......

[@WakeUp2024]

Great Content ... Thank you for the detailed coverage!

[@renatofigueiredo603]

Greetings from Brazil! When I was an younger teenager my dream was to go to Canada and live in the country. Two cities were in my mind. Saskatoon, the real 1st one; and Saint John, New Brunswick. I couldn't even visit the country. Today, suprisingly I met your video, showing Saskatoon. Amazing and very beautiful city. Excelent to ride bicycle. The street with trees is the best. Thank you very much. Hugs to your father.

[@JimMork]

My family made a trip to the Maritimes. Quite an experience. Can't imagine living there. Such an interesting history, the whole area.

[@b4w104]

you have the best dad ,cherish his positivity ,and adventurist way

[@icevoss9917]

Hi there Alina, enjoy the Summer.....❤ we are enjoying still the colder and wet weather...

Great video, I appreciate seeing this city highlighted - definitely the best city in Saskatchewan and one of the best in Canada!

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Very happy Alina to see your loving dad!. He is a nice person! This town looks very beautiful and it deserves the name of the Paris of the prairies. Thanks a lot for this beautiful walk with your dad. Take care.

[@Arsyilachannel02]

Hello

[@Adxm095]

She hasnt walked down 22nd yet

[@SnootchieBootchies]

@@Adxm095 She did say at 9:50 that you still have to be careful on certain streets in Riversdale but it is in the process of being improved. This is very accurate.

[@JimMork]

Don't think I've seen a father daughter relationship like this. Can't be unique, but KZbin does allow stumbling on this.

[@JimMork]

I envy Alina a little. My father didn't have his sense of humor. Both are/were farm boys, but my father just wasn't born with that personality. And with 10 kids, he also had no option of taking in a beautiful Ukrainian child.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Of course it is crazy to go to winnipeg and toon city during winter. Summer is the best

[@DavidL23.]

Hi Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a excellent day! This is really a marvelous super fantastic video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦🥇💯✨💫🌟 The city of Saskatoon looks so truly amazing! The architecture of the buildings at River Landing and the Remai Modern art museum is absolutely marvelous! Even the food at the restaurants look really delicious!

[@toddsmith1793]

Aliña McLeod… I just found your channel, and I have to say… you’re very, very good. I just finished watching an older vlog entitled: “What is life like in Ukraine?” I’m very impressed with your abilities. You’re either well prepared or you have a unique skillset for improvising. There are subtle things that you do so well. You focus on your surroundings instead of yourself, which is so refreshing. Even your editing, and sound are done well. I haven’t watched any of your other vlogs, but I intend to watch them all. By the way, it’s obvious that part of your story is Canada (I Love Canada, my son-in-law is from Nova Scotia). I detected the long vowels, which is a subtle giveaway that I like to hear. Alina, you’re a bright, and beautiful, young Woman. It’s obvious you’re so much more, which makes supporting you, as a patron, an easy choice. You might have spent your formative years in Canada, but there is no doubt, YOU ARE UKRAYINI. A her-storian, and Storyteller…you inspire me. I Love Ukraine 🇺🇦 Слава Україні 🇺🇦Слава Гетам, Синам і Дочкам України 🇺🇦🔱🫶Врятуйте Дітей, майбутнє України 🫶 Your Friend, Todd from California

[@siglavikingkearns8108]

My wife is from Saskatoon and we used to visit her parents twice a year for many years. They passed on and we don't get back there much but I was always impressed with that city. However, I have a cousin in Regina and he gets annoyed if you try to maintain Saskatoon is a better city. I don't think he will see this post so let me say, Alec, (my cousin), Saskatoon is nicer than Regina. We've been on that railway bridge with our kids, lovely spot.

[@happycanayjian1582]

It’s not even a competition. Saskatoon way > Regina. Only people from Regina can be shocked to find out Saskatoon is better. To everyone else: “when you know, you know.”

[@Beroguard]

I walked across that railroad bridge once last year and I was all white knuckles and didn't have no train passing me either... lol. You and your dad are brave to cross that bridge with a train going by. :)

[@SnootchieBootchies]

I agree. Crossing that bridge is not recommended for those who get height vertigo. And when a train passes, that bridge can shake quite a bit, making that walk an even more white-knuckled experience!

Nice video! Nice n peaceful looking city. Might be a little too small for me though lol....Cheers from Toronto!

[@aic8326]

I live in Saskatoon, and have my whole life... and I will tell you the one thing it has going for it is the scenery... there wasn't alot shown in this video. Just ride spadina all the way down the riverside.. it's beautiful! Other than that, crime is progressively getting worse, homelessness is out of control, alot of the people here are very superficial and have that white collar attitude, and winter is extremely cold and DRY. The dry is worse than the cold. On the other hand, YES there is a tonne of things to do in summer, and the really cold winters do make a person appreciate summer more. It is also extremely expensive here, but I'm guessing that's everywhere in canada now so maybe it's irrelevant. I can't really speak for other cities, but I'm sure there are MUCH better places to live in Canada. All I know is, TRUDEAU NEEDS TO GO!
