The Colonial Despatches: Saskatchewan River

Saskatchewan River

The Saskatchewan River flows 550 km eastward across Saskatchewan and Manitoba to empty into Lake Winnipeg. Like the province, the Saskatchewan River takes its name from the Cree word kisiskāciwani-sīpiy, which means swift-flowing river.1
