With a population of about 300,000, Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan. It’s also home to the University of Saskatchewan and is known for being bitter cold in the winter, but sunny most every day of the year.
The secret to enjoying life in Saskatoon, according to residents, is to bundle up in the winter—and get outside in the summer to enjoy the South Saskatchewan River and many hiking trails and lakes nearby.
Do Your Homework
The internet is obviously a great resource for all kinds of things, including finding a moving company. But, at the same time, it’s hard to beat a good old-fashioned recommendation from someone you know.
Ask your neighbors, co-workers, and friends if they have any experience with a local moving company. Your Realtor may also be able to refer you to a reputable company.
