Otherwise known as downtown Saskatoon, the Central Business District was originally home to the Canadian National Railway (CNR). Retail shops and services sprung up around the rail operations and eventually became the primary draw to the area. Today, the Midtown Plaza, Saskatoon's largest shopping mall sits on the CNR site and is built in its image.
The downtown core of Saskatoon has seen steady and significant improvement over the past decade and has once again become a destination place for citizens of Saskatoon. You'll find an excellent selection of restaurants, from casual to fine dining and a number of popular night spots. The Central Business District is also home to Saskatoon's Arts and Convention Centre TCU Place, Persephone Theatre, Remai Modern, and River Landing.
