*There seems to be a bit of confusion about the gender of Saskatchewan. My
dictionaries and many websites say it's masculine, but the Fransaskois
(French-speaking inhabitants of Saskatchewan) say that it's
feminine, and I tend to think that they have the final say. If you have questions or comments, please post them
on the
forum.
