If I was a visitor looking at this video I would want to know what and where and when these events are on. Would be a good idea to have a Title before each shown event and an approx date when it is on eg: EX Early Aug ; Folkfest Late Aug etc. This would provide a starting point for tourists to look for.

@sfischer2430 Great comment! We'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration when we begin development on our new promotional video.

[NAC90]

What a beautiful video. Two friends of my family live there and they love it. Does anyone know what's the name of the song?

[TourismSaskatoon]

Thanks for your comment! The song is called "It's A Beautiful World" by Brad Johner.

[NAC90]

Ok, thanks.

[FrozenMadinina]

the video says it all...saskatoon is an awesome place to live!

[jong24k]

im loving saskatoon...migrating soon.

[ShallAdoreCats]

Awesome, makes me proud to be from Saskatoon

[greyma2]

Excellent video! Can't believe that some people can be so negative about this - but I guess they are everywhere. Brad Johner's song was a perfect fit and he is from HERE!

I agree with Msfirefly007. It is going to be hard to get me out of Saskatoon now that I am here. I hope I am here long enough to bury me with me boots on as the old saying goes.

The only thing i don't like about this video is that it makes it looks like we have all these fun things , when most of the activites like the ex and folkfest (and summer) is here for a short time. And it shows people playing in the river, when in fact we have a bylaw against swimming in the river.

[jasonscfr]

People aren't swimming in the river in this video. People always play around on the river.

[MsFirefly007]

This is one great city! Love the people, and the energy of this place I now call "home".

[werfly1]

Wow, wish I lived there...Oh wait I do! Even if its -50 outside today, I love it!

[Cattnip007]

The video is well done & the music is OK.

Brad Johner is the poster child for the Sask. music industry -- so I suppose his contribution makes commerial sense. The formulic genre of the video is a proven successful medium that appeals to to the wider demographic - should be an reasonably effective promotional tool.

A small community 15 minutes from S'toon has a U-Tube video on a budget & no celeb contributions - check it out by searching for Discoverpikelake

I'm no Brad Johner fan, but the lyrics of this song fit the song and the spirit of Saskatoon PERFECTLY. Kudos!

But the video itself is so... formulaic. It's just stuff you'd find in any town, nothing really unique to Saskatoon. C'mon guys! I can walk in the park and eat Ice Cream anywhere. I've seen a lot of vids on Youtube that showcase the unique spirit and pace of life of the city, this is a carbon-copy of the California tourism video without the annoying celebrities.

[jasonscfr]

This is a great video! I made my own video on Saskatoon a little more makeshift. If I only had the resources and the money, than I could make mine a little more better. It's called "Saskatoon!" check it out some time. I do my own video editing as a hobby using a non-activated version of AVS.

[surrube]

I thought there was a lot more snow. I seem to remember "the land of the living skies" meant lots of bugs.

The video sure makes Saskatoon look beautiful.

[Cree01writer]

Great Video... but why does Brad Johner ALWAYS get the musical representation for Sask? I mean ya he's from here... but so is Wide Mouth Mason and Theresa Sokyrka, The Waltons. I think we are doing our province a diservice by limiting our musical/artistic scope.

[TourismSaskatoon]

We couldn't agree more that Saskatoon and Saskatchewan have an amazing range of talented artists! Some of our favourites include: The Deep Dark Woods, The Sheepdogs, Tim Vaughn, Mark DeJong and Prom Night in Black and White. However, for the purposes of this particular video - Brad Johner's (a great artist in his own right) song was the best fit. If you can think of any specific songs by local artists that would fit with a tourism video, please let us know! We would love to hear from you!

[artliram]

@Cree01writer Yes, great video, but i think this video don't promote just one artist, I'm Brazilian and I´m looking the city and the video catch my attention. I found a lot of videos throug this one and saw other local artists, like Jason Plumb from The Waltons, Brad Johner, Jack Semple... Very goog video, place, people! Congratulations! I hope to travel there soon. and sorry for my bad english.
