Saskatchewan with Parcours Canada and BougeBouge

BougeBouge brings you to Saskatchewan ! The province owes its name to the Saskatchewan River, whose name in the Cree language means « swift river ». Here you’ll find lush boreal forests, mysterious, rugged Badlands, sparkling, pristine lakes, and vast expanses of land with the largest and most beautiful sky! More than 100,000 lakes and rivers in Saskatchewan are recognized as some of the best places in the world for freshwater fishing. Here again, before Europeans explored the area in 1690 and settled in 1774, the territory was first inhabited by many Native American communities.
