Nice city but all the taller buildings appear to be residential. Lack of office towers makes me want to give it a 4.

you may need acrobat reader for this...

For its population, the skyline isn't bad, although I am a bit disappointed, could use some more density and heightage, although of course it does look GREEN as someone said, but it looks like a NICE city, though. 6.5/10.

^Canadian Light Source (Synchrotron) building

Saskatoon
Saskatchewan, Canada

The Canadian Light Source is one of the largest scientific projects in Canada, and one of the most advanced synchrotrons in the world. Intense beams of light are generated to help scientists understand the nature and structure of molecules and materials.

Saskatoon is said to be Canada's Science city.

I give Saskatoon a 9/10, just because I live here and love it. Sometime I need to get out downtown and get some new, more interesting photos (Living in the suberbs is so lame.)

Here's one of my favorite saskatoon pics, just cause it shows more of the nitty-gritty side of downtown that no one sees in the other photos that have been posted. :)

It's possible if potash over the long term becomes a highly valuable commodity like oil. Let's not forget that Potash Corp of Saskatchewan was briefly Canada's most valuable company when the price of fertilizer spiked. Saskatchewan has 50% of global reserves and could benefit tremendously as food becomes scarcer, and global populations continue to spike higher.
