Their goal is to develop the scenic, tourism, recreation, historic and cultural resources of the area and provide a premier travel destination for visitors to discover and explore.
Find Yourself where the SKY meets the LAND:
The Assiniboine - Qu’Appelle Valleylands is an 11,000 square kilometre adventure and discovery region in the heart of the Manitoba and Saskatchewan prairie and Aspen Parklands.
Over centuries, the historic Assiniboine River, which flows north to south through the region, has carved a spectacular valley that in turn is joined by the broad and winding valley of the Qu’Appelle River which flows into the Assiniboine from the west.
These rivers and their many tributaries have created a world of scenic, friendly and fascinating valleylands that are easy to reach with lots to do, explore and experience whether you take just a few hours or several days.
