PDF version [PDF, 2.4 Mb, viewer]

Large valleys, such as the Qu'Appelle and Souris river valleys, are major landscape features of vital importance to southern Saskatchewan. These valleys provide for diverse uses - water storage, farmland, wetland habitat, woodlands, gravel pits, and even ski areas. Try to imagine Saskatchewan without its valleys!
