Thank you for such a wonderful video. Are there job opportunities in studying Master of Educational Administration at Saskatchewan?

[@jackincanada163]

Thanks so much for watching. For sure, Educational Administration is aimed at people (I believe) who want to go into administration jobs such as Principles, VP's or other administration jobs at colleges as Universities in Saskatchewan. A good place to start may be Sask Jobs, the school divisions and the college websites (including regional colleges and the polytechnic). Hope that helps! :)

I wonder why people would being in a such areas like toronto or Vancouver ! After all it depends on people life style but i would be in house for 1200$ rent instead of a simple room in Vancouver for 1500$ and that's why i really like saskatchewan, less stress and challenges, which i mean you could have 80$ to start a careers than the others provinces and life is easy in saskatchewan and good place to raise your children.

Good people in Saskatchewan but it is boring and extremely extremely cold

[@jackincanada163]

Thanks for watching! I love it here but I can see your point as well. Saskatchewan definitely isn’t for everyone.

[@selkarogers7662]

I've been considering relocating to Saskatoon from Toronto. I've been to Saskatchewan a few times and the prairies are beautiful. The winters are long and cold but that goes for anywhere in Canada except for the west coast. I find that even though Toronto has so much going on I hardly take advantage because it's so crowded that I rather miss out than deal with the massive crowds. I feel like Saskatoon has less happening but I would likely attend more events. I always found Saskatoon a surprisingly artsy and vibrant city for its size. Canadians are known for being kind/polite but I swear people from Newfoundland and Saskatchewan are the friendliest and kindest of all Canadians. I'm still undecided between St. John's or Saskatoon. I'm part First Nations and I worry about prejudice in SK which is where I hesitate. It's something I don't worry about in Toronto since we're so diverse but have to take into consideration when thinking of moving elsewhere in the country.

[@jackincanada163]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching. It really is beautiful here and I know that you mean about the high population, even though I love Toronto. Saskatoon has a lot going on, especially for a city of its size which is something I really love about the city. In terms of being First Nation, I would say that Saskatchewan has a high population of people who are First Nation which is a true strength of the province, and something that I love about the Saskatchewan. I do think there is a lot more to do though in terms of reconciliation though.

[@rickymcdicky1469]

hello! i am from sask and i would definitely recommend moving here. saskatoon is very good but i would also consider moving to a small town. (EX: 100-600 people.) Im sure this may sound silly to a person from Toronto, but a lot of those communities are very welcoming and have a great atmosphere. if anything moving to a small town CLOSE to a big city like saskatoon, just so you can still have many amenities. if you would want to i would recommend raddison, and clavet. if you are looking for a little bigger it would have to be martensville, rosthern, Warman, or Hague.

[@daryl9905]

Hey! I'm from Winnipeg. May I ask, purely out of curiosity, why not consider Winnipeg? Feel free to be completely frank!

[@selkarogers7662]

@@daryl9905 I wouldn't consider Winnipeg for a few reasons. I find the winters ultra brutal and then the bugs and extreme humidity in the warmer months isn't for me either. There's unfortunately a lot of violent crime, gang activity in Winnipeg and I have always sensed it's a bit too rough. I'm also part First Nations and I feel like out of anywhere in the country Winnipeg and Thunder Bay (where I have lived before) have a high level of prejudice towards native people. I would worry about my treatment in hospitals or if I was a victim of a crime not being treated fairly. I know housing is cheaper in Winnipeg but I dont think it would be for me. I haven't been there in close to 15 years and I was 19 when I was there, I wasn't left with a good impression but it could have gotten better since then. I have considered Saskatoon because it felt more friendly and easy going and although there is still crime, it's more so petty crime like car theft. It felt like a toned down gentler place compared to Winnipeg with a more vibrant art and food scene.

[@selkarogers7662]

Thanks@@rickymcdicky1469! I would definitely check out some of the smaller communities. I grew up in small towns and moved to Toronto when I was 16, so I wouldn't be totally opposed to living in a smaller town. I'll definitely check out the towns you mentioned.

[@RichEmbury]

Welcome to Saskatchewan. Great video. Saskatoon only has 300,000 people but is projected to double in the next 25yrs. So it won't be tiny forever, but compared to other major cities, still quaint and small I guess. Also it's the sunniest province in Canada. Most sunny days, even in the cold -40 January. Not to mention the longest life expectancy. Just like anywhere else, there is lots to improve, but I love it . I think the roads are horrible, simply because of the extreme cold weather, off and on for 2 months, is hard on them, especially since the temps go from -40 in winter to +35 in summer. That's some bigtime fluctuation. Hopefully the provincial government will start spending some of that new oil money and potash money on our roads and infrastructure.

@xmakotosolox thanks for defending, and no problem @barrywilliamsmb. Yes, I was rounding the city of Saskatoon's population, not the entire province (which is around 1.3 million total currently...rounding again). Saskatchewan is doing very well, comparably, of late (thanks to some things I mentioned previously). I didn't understand the vitriol towards my statement and my experience. I think Saskatchewan is always underestimated. Plus...I don't discriminate on my "strain of weed." Legal Cannabis has helped me ween off very high pain medication doses for my disabilities. So whatever works. Doesn't affect my brain function though, I could joke that maybe you should do more, since you misread my message. But I only joke. No hard feelings.
