Plant Canada 2007: General Information
Saskatoon is located on the banks of the
South Saskatchewan River in the heart of the Canadian prairies. With
a population of 235,000, Saskatoon has been rated as the 15th best
city in North America. We have a reputation for being friendly and
hospitable. The Meewasin Valley Authority takes care of our
riverbanks, ensuring that the 17 parks and 20 kms of paved walking
trails are kept free of development and maintained for people's
enjoyment.
Saskatoon has a dry continental climate with more than 2300 hours of
sunshine each year, which is the most for any major city in Canada.
In June, the day time temperature will be around 16 - 23ºC and fall
to about 9ºC in the evening. Around the summer solstice, the sun
rises before 05:00 h and the evening twilight lingers to around
22:30 h. Bring a light jacket or sweater so you can enjoy the long
evenings and brilliant sunsets. Conference attire is business
casual.
Saskatoon is linked to other cities in Canada and the USA by an
international airport with Air Canada, West Jet, and Northwest
Airlines as the major carriers. If travelling from outside Canada,
please ensure that you have the necessary passports and visas needed
to enter Canada. Taxi service is available at the airport and costs
under $20CDN to go from the airport to a downtown hotel. Rental cars
are available at the airport and other locations around the city.
Plant Canada 2007 will be held at TCU Place - Saskatoon's Arts and
Convention Centre. TCU Place belongs to the city of Saskatoon and
has been a valuable contribution to local arts and entertainment as
well as a gathering place welcoming people from all over the world.
Recently renovated in May 2006, TCU Place hosts meetings large and
small with state of the art facilities for projection and sound.
