Saskatoon may have a less than perfect reputation when it comes to safety, but compared to other big cities internationally it is perfectly safe, as long as you’re cautious and use common sense. Avoid walking around alone in the evenings, keep your valuables locked up, and keep to well-lit streets if you are out after dark.

It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling.
