Welcome to Saskatchewan, one of the greatest places on Earth. The incredible vast amount of land combined with only 1 million residents = lots of playground for yourself!
I am just ~120-130 km southeast from you here in Saskatoon.
If you are ever into taking up hunting on land, not just water, you are in the hunting mecca of N. America and possibly one of the best places in the world for it. Hunting can almost be a year round thing. In the fall, you have almost an entire continent of waterfowl pass through Saskatchewan as we sit in the hub of central flyway of N. America. Watching 50,00 Snow geese tornado down into a field definitely makes a person go "Wow". If you ever are into big game hunting, just about 75 km straight south of you (near Biggar, SK), the world record Whitetail deer was taken back in 1993. You are not far from great bear, elk, moose hunting as well. With such vast land, there are many hunting opportunities for coyote/fox, if that is your thing as well during the winter months. Rural Saskatchewan is in the decline as people are moving in droves into the cities, so you have lots of hunting room.
If you enjoy fishing and lakes, we have over 100,000 lakes. Many of these have never seen a fishing lure, with only pontoon planes being able to access many of our northern lakes. It is not uncommon to go days in certain areas without bumping into a single person. Spearfishing here is an unknown thing here, I don't understand why. We have pretty much the most LIBERAL restrictions you can have in interior N. America, being able to take all of the same fish that you can via hook/line. Not the case for many other provinces and states as well.

In one of our lakes (actually a man-made reservoir called Lake Diefenbaker), two brothers calling themselves the "Fishing Geeks" managed to break the world Rainbow trout just last year (43.6 lbs)...Breaking records is what goes on here in Saskatchewan! You can see pictures here:

Oh yeah, you may or may not be familiar with another HUGE thing in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's people are absolutely fanatical about our only professional sports team here, the SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS (American style football team). We just won this year's championship about a month ago. A "Have a nice day" or a "enjoy the rest of your day" is pretty much interchangable with "Yeah Riders" or "Go Riders"!!!
WELCOME TO SASKATCHEWAN!
