Prairie Lily sailing the South Saskatchewan River to begin summer boating season
Global News
The Prairie Lily River Boat sailing season began on Saturday in Saskatoon. The season runs through September.
One of the most iconic tourist attractions in Saskatoon, the Prairie Lily River Boat, began its sailing season on the South Saskatchewan River on Saturday.
This is a stark contrast to season start times in the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We started on June 24 and July 1 the last two years,” said riverboat co-owner and purser Joan Steckhan.
“We were only running a three-month season, not starting until July, we got a lot of yard work (on the boat) done. It’s nice to be running a full season.”
Tourism Saskatoon‘s Sarah Berger says the Prairie Lily signifies the start of the summer for the bridge city and is truly one of the more unique experiences for all residents or people visiting from out of town.
“When we hear the Prairie Lily is launching for the first sail of the year, we know summer is really here. We can dust off those sandals and put away the winter coats and enjoy what Saskatoon has to offer in the summer months,” Berger said.
“If you haven’t had a ride on the Prairie Lily I suggest you do it sooner than later, (it is a) great way to see the city from the river, enjoy the entertainment,” Berger added.
Steckhan hopes the 2022 season will be smooth sailing after the hit business took over the last two years due to health restrictions for the pandemic.
