Nutana is a district of Saskatoon dating from 1883, where Remai Modern stands a short walk from the Canada Games clock tower.
About Nutana
Where to stay in Nutana
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds cluster near the Canada Games clock tower, where Remai Modern and the walk back into central Saskatoon both begin within a few minutes of the door. The heritage streets read differently. Marr Residence, Gustin House, and the Sommerville/Petitt House stand a few blocks apart, so a stay among them puts three of Nutana's oldest surviving houses inside one short walk.
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church anchors a quieter third choice.
About Nutana
What are the main landmarks in Nutana?
Remai Modern carries the district's largest draw. Its modern-art collection sits within an easy walk of the Canada Games clock tower, so a single afternoon covers both without needing a bus or a car at any point. Older fabric survives close by.
Marr Residence, Gustin House, and the Sommerville/Petitt House are all preserved, and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and the Church of St Joseph give Nutana two landmark spires. A Pioneer Memorial Cairn stands among them.
What is the history of Nutana?
Nutana dates from 1883. The houses that survive from its early decades still stand on ordinary streets rather than in a heritage park, and Marr Residence, Gustin House, and the Sommerville/Petitt House are the best known of them. Faith left its own marks.
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and the Church of St Joseph both stand within the district, and the Pioneer Memorial Cairn keeps the memory of Nutana's first arrivals in public view. Remai Modern is the newest layer.
Where is Nutana?
Nutana covers a little under two square kilometres of Saskatoon, compact enough that Remai Modern and the Pioneer Memorial Cairn sit within one walk.
