Saskatchewan
Now I know what I used to think of this province, wheat fields and extra flat land...but apparently it is much more interesting than that. I learned today that the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil was found here and not in Drumheller Alberta. Apparently this whole area used to be a large ocean and when digging for Potash here they find different fossils of seashells around 80 feet down. Currently it has an enormous amount of underground water which inhibits the mines sometimes in this area (Esterhazy). The land is also really not that flat, it has its valleys and although along highway #1 it might seem a bit bland there is so much more going on here. It is probably the most healthy, growing province in Canada, it has many different jobs that need to be filled and not enough skilled people to fill them. I just hope that people don't write off the province as "flat and boring" as I once did because you are missing some great people and sights along the way.
