An Afternoon with Dr. Strawberry

If you ever have the opportunity to hang out with a guy who has his PhD in strawberries, seize it.  Dr. Bob Bors heads the fruit department of the University of Saskatchewan (it’s part of the school’s renowned Plant Sciences program), and we visited him at the university’s 70-acre horticulture site in Saskatoon.

Station 20 West

From Regina, we travelled to Saskatoon, a city we fell in love with for multiple reasons including its picturesque bridges over the South Saskatchewan River, great food, and welcoming people.  Saskatoon was a lively city, and its residents clearly take pride in the unique culture that exists in this part the province.  We were immediately charmed.
