Learning from our past, to determine our future
There is not a defined model for a national urban park in Canada. To figure out what will work best for Saskatchewan, we will learn from our past and determine our future together.
Next steps to explore a potential national urban park will draw in the passionate and diverse voices of those who celebrate, play, and learn in Meewasin.
Deep listening and focused engagement will help assess interest, feasibility, form and function of a new, national urban park in the Meewasin Valley.
This will be an evolving process; project timelines will be informed by community and stakeholder input as Meewasin and Parks Canada explore a Saskatoon-focused national urban park model.
Timeline
The people who live along the river valley have long been its stewards and caretakers. Their teachings and efforts have prepared us for what comes next.
The river valley was home to several First Nations including Assiniboine in the south and Plains Cree in the north. Hunters travelled trails on both banks of the river.
The Métis were one of Saskatchewan’s founding people. (needs to be further vetted/edited).
