Why Practice Optometry in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan OD’s enjoy a broad scope of practice, a mix of practice types, and diverse patients. We have several opportunities waiting for your right now! 

We pride ourselves on our friendliness and sense of community, making Saskatchewan an ideal place to launch your career. While the province is geographically big, cities are moderately sized, and commutes are short.

AFFORDABLE LIFESTYLE: Modestly priced housing translates to a comfortable lifestyle and the opportunity to pursue a wide range of hobbies and interests while raising a family.

ACCESS TO NATURE: With four distinct seasons, 100,000 lakes to explore, and 2,400 hours of sunshine a year, you can find the perfect balance between relaxing cottage life, glamping experiences, and big adventures in the great outdoors.

DINING: Farm-to-fork is more than a catchy slogan here. The dining and craft liquor scene is continuously evolving with a blend of the freshest regional ingredients , grown and created by Saskatchewan’s top chefs and food artisans.  

ARTS & CULTURE: From world-class art exhibits at the Remai Modern to experiencing a powwow for the first time, our theatres, galleries, and seasonal festivals celebrate our communities and our place here in treaty land.
