Drop in and explore the history of Saskatoon through the lens of the Local History photograph collection.
Going out for a restaurant meal has been a part of Saskatoon’s history almost since its inception. Although the Temperance Society forbade alcohol, dining out has long been a Saskatoon tradition. The Chinese, Greek and ethnic communities started eating establishments early on; in fact, Saskatoon had a Chinese restaurant as early as 1902. Over the years, Saskatoon has been reputed to have one of the highest ratios of restaurants per capita in Canada!
