The mining, oil and gas, and agricultural sector all contribute to the success that the regional manufacturing sector enjoys. Opportunities are plentiful as world demand for energy and food increase. Saskatchewan’s rich resource base of potash, oil, natural gas, uranium, and agricultural land will contribute to the long-term success of the region.
Over 300,000 thousand consumers live within 100 kilometres (62 miles) of the city of Saskatoon, and over one million people live in Saskatchewan. The Saskatoon Region is an excellent base for exporting, due to its central location, and rail access to two ocean ports.
