Top 5 BEST Places to Live in Saskatchewan 

not lately crime and housing/ taxes way up since covid

Very interesting. What did you like about Swift?

Crikey 🐊

Hi. I'm planning to move to Yorkton this July. I'd love to connect with you so I can learn more about the place

I'm planning on moving to Yorkton in a couple weeks from Surrey bc

Yes...plus Yorkton is a lot like B.C...what with the rivers, lakes and mountains and all...and the climate! LOL!

Lots of nice places in southern Saskatchewan. The Cypress Hills are probably the most beautiful part of Saskatchewan and the surrounding area has cropland, prairie grassland with sage and cactus, and in places are badlands and buttes that look amazing. And southeastern Saskatchewan (like around Moosomin) is in the aspen parkland region with a lot of groves of poplars and Moose Mountain is near there. Amazing what you’ll find if you don’t travel only on Highway 1.

many mosquitos there?

@@oilersridersbluejays yeah IF your camping but not to live...

It's close to the border, so it's easy to get out of Saskatchewan...and go somewheres else !

I live in Lakeridge and love it! You're right.

I agree

I don't think we are talking about the same place. Your descriptions are over the top.

@@user-dp6tu7tu5n Not at all. Moose Jaw is falling apart.

Visit moose jaw more than once. It’s a great little community with lots of history.Bonus your also in the south

😂

Victoria BC is not in Saskatchewan.

@@elydeboro2878 that is correct.

Bru it's in alberta

@@sam_h66 There are more Sask people in Calgary than in any city in Sask.

Did you get your education in Sask as well?😅

@@sam_h66 Obviously, you are not from Saskatoon or you would have gotten @sam's joke!

@AB.._..'s joke, sorry.

Because they are all close to a border so at least you can get out of Saskatchewan easily LOL!

Is Yorkton still a nice place to live?

no never was @@sinbadandsalty3908

I’ve yet to hear anything negative about potash from the federal liberal or conservative governments or from provincial governments. I so stand to be corrected though.

I am from Swift. I love going back. Quiet and laid back. Doesn’t take long to get anywhere. So relaxing. I live in Calgary now..

Having to deal with ferries to get on and off the Island takes the shine right off that place. So aggravating.

If you can afford to live on Vancouver Island, you can afford to live someplace where you’re not trapped by water needing a ferry to get anywhere

Do you speak French?

The split between the haves and the have nots in Saskatchewan is whether you can afford your own vehicle or have to take public transit. Saskatchewan is famous for having low wages...unless you're on the public teat, working for municipal , provincial or federal gov't, where being a janitor would pay more than working three part time jobs. You gotta get on the teat!

Alphabet Town is where all the good looking *available* women are-I love Alphabet Town.

@@jimscanoe 😂😂

agreee with you too many natives here not working just stealing.

@rscott2247 what’s that got to do with what I was talking about? Nothing…

@@oilersridersbluejays I'll delete the comment.

Nobody has any money in Saskatchewan...what I mean by that is nobody wants to pay anybody else what they're worth. That's why many small businesses come and go all the time. When I lived there, I used to joke with my friends that the coupon was the official currency of Saskatchewan because nobody would buy anything without a coupon. We are talking E.T. ...people who are Extra Tight with their money...and who employ all kinds of eking strategies like collecting rags and trading them in for a can, and then once you have ten cans you can trade them for a coupon. That's the mindset. Many people have to get by with two part time jobs, and a monthly bag of groceries from their parents, plus their twelve year old car. A mechanic friend, who was a buyer and seller of VW cars , used to go to Calgary where no one wanted a ten year old VW so they were cheap. And then he would bring them to Saskatoon where people would fight over them...and of course, offer to make payments. I'm glad I left and I don't miss Saskatoon one bit! Their cheap grinch like mindset is holding them all back.

What I enjoyed most about MJ were the various , consistent sounds from the slaughterhouse ALL NIGHT LONG . not

Hooray for Midale small town folks !

Calgary in Feb can be bone chilling cold or warm no snow . Winnipeg is usually cold in Feb some call it winter peg

Canada is getting extremely expensive. Make sure you do a thorough cost-benefit analysis.

East Coast Canada(NewBrunswick) is where life is good at,Saskatchewan has wheat and 8 months of winter@-35°C

consider British Columbia , Ontario, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia , but not the middle of the country , it's flat , it's boring and it's destitute

BC, Alberta (some parts), Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Novascotia are Canada’s nicest provinces. Consider those over Manitoba or Saskatchewan. Sure it might be cheaper to live there, but it’s boring, flat and cold

BC has the warmest weather, beautiful mountains and divwrse scenery. There is affordable real estate far away from the major centers, a con to moving there would be very high taxes. Also another con is full of annoying stoners 😂. Alberta has the lowest taxes, affordable the farther you get away from Calgary usually, some parts of the province have warmer than normal winter weather (read about chinooks). Saskatchewan is full of friendly people, cheap rural housing, nice scenery and outdoors depending on where you live. The maritime provinces are good too, friendly people, but I heard they have a humid kind of cold, in the western provinces it is generally dryer, so you dont have the same feeling of extreme heat or cold.

Gotta love that busy one lane road that separates the two ! If super red neck towns are your flavor, Lloyd won't disappoint ?

NO

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no he is not

I stayed in Weyburn for almost a year. I thought I would like it better than Estevan. I do miss the Pump Jacks pub in Weyburn but for shopping, bicycling area rides, job opportunities, Estevan was more my cup of tea, despite higher rents and being dustier. People love their GM's in Estevan. Too bad the mall is almost a ghost town. I also miss the 2nd hand record /cd music store in Estevan. Hi Larry/ Wally !

i agree monties set up speed traps in this town/// crappy mossimin we call it

Most of the shots are my own personal photos from time spent in Sask. I’ve only ever been in May & July

Any reason why please

​@@ajayibernadette4643 forest fires

More like stay away from everything from the 11th to 45th and Spadina to the Shaw Center, Sutherland, 8th Street, Broadway, and the Exhibition area.

@@ajayibernadette4643 Hey, if you want to get stabbed for wearing the wrong colour hat, that's your business, otherwise don't go there.

Dastardly villain

@@papaforever3706 They have no security, and it was easy

Are you saying there are no good places to live in Sask?

@ApexGeography Saskatchewan is awesome!! In my opinion, your list could be better. To start, Estevan is a dying city and shouldn't be on the list. Moosomin is a nice place, but you should've referred to Regina as the closest city. If you need health care you can't get that in Brandon if you're a SK resident. Weyburn is a nice town but there is nothing there. Saskatoon is a traffic nightmare, and you are correct about the crime.

Timing the railway crossings in Estevan is a great skill to have. Lost Child towing has great auto servicing for the buck in Weyburn, besides the lovey Pump Jacks pub & Higher Consciousness new age shop. Thank goodness the north end of Swift has decent shopping.@@tazzthedoodle7861

Maybe the norm for busy oil patch towns ? They could use a Pump Jacks pub there.

I was told in the old days Foam lake was a hotbed for bootlegging so it must be a good place.

The water is terrible. High alkali.

@billfarley9167 they have r o in town and my well is perfect

How about you study in your OWN country.

@@janicewhitby6623 .Thank you for your suggestion

@@janicewhitby6623 Agreed Janice.

@@janicewhitby6623 Disgraceful comment.

It seems to be where all the immigrant students are going anyway. You’ll be in good company

its shit no matter where you go in sask

very good

​@@rickymcdicky1469that's the deal breaker, Saskatchewan isn't worth the crappy Internet

bahahaha

Garbage everywhere except where there is fiber.

The answer would be racist, so don't ask this question.

There is a large indigenous population which sadly means a fair bit of poverty. That means desperation. And that means substance abuse. The crime rate includes all of the fallout from living on the street and drug abuse.

Drugs, theft, gangs, violence. Sounds like poor, low intelligence people that don't want to work or better themselves in any way to me.

​@@limitles4758They have that same problem in downtown Vancouver and it don't discriminate.

@@sinbadandsalty3908the cold winters bring about much more desperation in prairie cities like Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. It’s life and death. Vancouver you just get a tent or a tarp and can survive.

And?

@@ApexGeography All about $$$$

@@user-vt9rj9gn8z - In fairness, cost of living is the main concern of most Canadians given the current economic climate in this country.

Yup, there'll be a hurricane waiting for ya👍

Great temps in Florida but the State is a political cesspool.

White City just east of Regina is nice less crime. Short drive to the city..

Regina is a shithole…..I do not recommend it…..lifelong resident of 44 years

Regina is terrible. Saskatoon is way better and is still dumpy in some areas.

@@oilersridersbluejaysRegina is great, moved here from Vancouver and very happy with the change

We’ve been in Regina for less than a year and have made lots of friends/invited to plenty of gatherings. Maybe it’s you

Maybe nobody likes you. Only in a big city will nobody help you, otherwise people are tripping over each other to help people.

The foreign doctors here are racist toward white people! I've had five people that I know say the same thing. Seems like they are pissed off because they have to be here.

not true best province to live in and i have lived in 3 east to west

Oh, you’re so funny. Not.

That’s funny🤣 I’m from there, that’s good humor, us true Saskatchewanites can handle that joke

Stay away from west side of saskatoon

🤣

I’m sorry but pa is the worst city I’ve been to. Unfortunate that it is my local city

Wear your kevlar. Oh darn, kevlar is illegal in SK. Better just avoid P.A. then.

You’d get shanked in church there

Did she lie about the wonderful highway through it that makes getting from one end to the other super quick ?

Its a little better. Cheapest in Alberta for sure. A guy I watch on here does a weekly price update, his name is Dan McTeague and he is a former MP. Its called the News Forum Weekly Energy update

Maybe many of us aren't children living in an adult's body and are capable of socializing with others and being busy an engaged without having this provided for you. Stay in the big city where your parents, the government, keep you safe and provided for.

Regina, P.A., North Battleford, La Ronge and Saskatoon are probably the worst as an off the cuff list.

where would you recommend ?

You lost me at "functionally retarded". Sounds like you're the problem. 🇨🇦

I agree, and I was pretty much born here. Lived in Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Vancouver, Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon and some small SK towns as well. The culture here is non-existent. Theatre sucks!!! Music sucks!!! It's laughable, if it weren't so painful. The thing I did like is that I could raise a child here. We would go to the dentist, shopping, two play dates, all in one day. Had friends with cottages. Friends with kids!! That was the best part. And lost of sports for kids. I would never raise a child in the cities previously mentioned in AB, BC.

thanks boss

Just try meeting women through on line dating sites outside of Saskatoon, Regina or M.J. in wind chill Saskatchewan?

@@rscott2247 If you do find one they'll be hardy!

Regina

North Battleford!
