I grew up in Saskatoon and recently moved away to Cranbrook 5 months ago. The cost of living here is crazy, houses are unaffordable and the rental market is so competitive due to lack of housing. Wages are good, but there is nowhere to live and everything is more expensive, making them irrelevant. I have already been thinking about moving back, and I believe this video has helped me finalize that decision, thank you for that. BC is beautiful, but I think it's a great place to visit. Saskatchewan is a great place to live, especially Saskatoon.

One year later the housing in Saskatoon is no longer affordable thanks to people coming in from the bigger cities buying up all the affordable housing and charging rent for one floor of a house that is comparable to prices in Vancouver or Toronto. The average person here does not make $100,000 a year to afford the 30% housing margin. It is ridiculously expensive to live here these days.

Bellingham, WA USA 🇺🇸 Bicycled through there in 2012 making Saskatoon a final bike touring destination in 2018. Absolutely loved it!! Huge streets, great bike access/culture wonderful river and lots of sunshine and space to move around in addition to a great universit and boreal forest to north. Love to move there due to its isolated but self sustaining location much better and cultured than Casper, WY that I'd also consider where i lived before. However, I'd be difficult as an American to immigrate being messy paying taxes to 2 countries in addition to figuring out Healthcare being retired. Not knowing alot, I'm sure I could make it work if I did the research. And I do look at real estate!!! Too boot, many homes there have finished off basements with no worry of Radon gas like Casper, WY.

Likely leaving Toronto in a few years. Its busy here, its unaffordable, people are miserable, crime is on the rise and politics run the city. I want to get to a more laid back place, where I can have 10 minutes of peace and not have to deal with some month dedicated to a political identity that I am being forced to support. Figure since Saskatchewan is more of a farming province it can give me some of the peace and quiet that I want. Not sure if Saskatoon is the city I'll be living in, but Saskatchewan is the province that has been on my mind for all year as a potential spot to move to. Planning to take a visit out that way when I get some vacation time to scout out the province. I can do all the research on education, healthcare, etc. Nothing like seeing it in person will do for giving it the vibe check.
