The Village of Riversdale

The Riversdale area of Saskatoon has had a long and colorful history as the“heart” of the City. At its heyday Riversdale was truly the “boomtown”of Saskatoon, where people went to work, to play and to connect across a myriad of cultures and languages as part of the booming Saskatchewan mosaic of those pioneering days.
