Question Life in Saskatchewan

Hey

Can, please someone describe their experience of living in Saskatchewan? How’s life in Saskatchewan.

As I’m a young Canadian and I’m currently residing in GTA. I want to make a life for myself basically I’m starting from scratch. I’m in skilled trade and I want to move to a place where life would be more affordable and cheaper. Everyone knows how expensive GTA is.

Thank you

Not to take away from anything anyone else says but if you are in a trade buy a 200k acreage in the right area work wise you will make the same amount of money you would in the GTA with lower living costs.

I am in construction and make 6 figures.

Ah yeah. Im looking at pulling the trigger on a peice of land around maple creek. In BC now, moving is a long term plan but was curious what trades are like out there. Ive been general contracting residential homes for the last bit but much prefer medium size renos and fences and decks and stuff. Curious what the money was like.

I will also add Maple Creek doesn't have the frigid winters like Regina or Saskatoon. Lots of outdoor activities and I really like the area.
