- New highway change for Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan adopted the International metric system in 1971, and even though school trustees would like the imperial system returned to the classrooms, there is a new change intended for Saskatchewan. The latest news to hit the province of Saskatchewan is to adapt the new traffic directionality concept that Saskatchewan drivers will undertake. As of the beginning of the month, drivers will begin driving on the left side of the road rather than the right side. Which Side Of The Road To Drive On? Left Or Right For more information on changes to Saskatchewan Highways.

Prince Albert is one of the Saskatchewan city articles which has been growing by leaps and bounds. Many communities are being created and are picked up by the new article robot. Please help to tag these and all community articles with the new assessment talk page banner at Template:WikiProject Canada. *Stub class just barely introduces the topic, much is missing.
- Start class gives a bit more knowledge but it shows one of these to expand upon a stub article;
- a particularly useful picture or graphic
- multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
- a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
- multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
- B-Class checklist
- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited.
- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies.
- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors.
- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams.
