huskies women's basketball vs manitoba bisons

a student-run live music venue in the University of Saskatchewan memorial union, long a launch pad for touring indie and Canadian acts coming through town. the campus crowd keeps the energy up, and the long-running Thursday night tradition pre-dates most of the rest of the scene. tickets tend to be reasonable, and you can catch bands here before they outgrow rooms this size. you do not have to be a student to go. check the campus calendar for show nights and who is playing.

a country restaurant and Saskatoon-berry farm sitting right on the river south of the city, the kind of place that is the destination as much as the meal. the kitchen is known for its berry pie, and the grounds carry a greenhouse, a gift shop, a u-pick patch and ice cream hut in season, and a little fun zone for small kids. it is an easy, scenic drive out of town, with riverbank views to walk off lunch. families and grandparents both love it. a proper Sunday-drive afternoon, no agenda needed.
