The Ryzak family spent the day skating at the Cameco Meewasin Rink downtown. “We had to get out of the house to keep from going crazy. You can only watch so much TV,” Bryce Ryzak said, by his wife and two sons. For Christine Lam, Family Day marked her first time skating. Lam moved to Canada, from China, a few months ago. While she doesn’t have any family here, she said Saskatoon feels like home. “The heart of the people is so nice people are warm hearted. It makes me feel like home,” Lam told CTV News. Downtown skating spots need to be reserved to ensure the rink doesn’t exceed capacity and adheres to physical distancing.

SASKATOON Spying on the urban wildlife sneaking around Saskatoon, a University of Saskatchewan graduate student has captured incredible images from 30 trail cameras across the city. “It’s very much like there is this second world that is layered on top of us and it’s a world that not a lot of us get to interact with,” said Katie Harris, animal science student at the U of S. Since September, Harris’ trail cameras, donated by Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo, have captured images of a beaver taking a tree down, coyotes chasing a deer into a slough, mule deers roaming around freely and Red Foxes traversing through the natural and residential developments of the city.
