Has anyone been to Great Sand Hills?

I had no idea Saskatchewan had sand dunes for the longest time. I’d love to make a trip down and do a little camping and trudging around the dunes. What are some other lesser-known places to explore in the province?

‘Stay inside’: Long stretch of extreme cold expected as Arctic air moves into Sask. | 650 CKOM

Saskatchewan is bracing for a prolonged period of extreme cold as an Arctic air mass moves into the province, with Environment Canada issuing cold warnings for almost the entire region. Wind chills as low as -45 C are expected to persist for several days, prompting advice to limit outdoor exposure and dress warmly if going outside. The cold weather has led to transportation adjustments, with some school bus services cancelled, and has posed unique challenges for emergency services, such as firefighters, who must ensure water in their hoses does not freeze.

Carney reaches tariff-quota deal with China in EVs, Canola | CBC News

Huge deal for Saskatchewan. Massive drop in tariffs for canola in China. I guess it was a good thing Moe went to China with Carney.

Where is everyone from?

I’m in Saskatoon so I apologize if I come from a Saskatoon-based lens. Hopefully we get a variety of people from all over the province so we get varied viewpoints.

Welcome to /saskatchewan!

The Saskatchewander Instagram account is moving to the TourismSask account

Interesting move, I wonder why? The Saskatchewanderer account has almost the same number of followers. Are there any other accounts that showcase Saskatchewan that you follow?
