In this booklet, Saskatoon’s Board of Trade promotes Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as a vibrant and lucrative home for businesses and families. The authors describe Saskatoon as the province’s commercial, agricultural, educational, and transportation centre, and claim that this centrality poises the city for further economic and civic growth. Proud overviews of schools, churches, and new construction at the University of Saskatchewan accompany glowing statistics that emphasize Saskatoon’s progress as a modern city. Photographs of prairie vistas, bustling streets, and civic buildings appear throughout. Together, the booklet’s text and images form an optimistic portrait of Saskatoon at the start of a new decade.
