Hi,
Good friends of mine are farmers and I have often 'hosted' their WorkAwayers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan when the workers/travellers first arrive or leave the farm. I've really enjoyed meeting people, of all ages, from Japan, Germany, France, Mexico, Korea and many other parts of Canada!
I live in a cute, comfortable house that is walking distance to downtown Saskatoon, and a block away from a bus stop. My place is one block from a beautiful park that runs along the South Saskatchewan River, and which is filled with trails, a skatepark, a community garden, an outdoor pool, and clubs devoted to tennis, badminton, rowing, canoeing and kayaking.
I live with two interesting black cats and a friendly black dog. I enjoy gardening in my backyard, front yard, in pots on the street and at my community garden close by. I enjoy fixing things up in my old (107year-old) house.
I'm an active community member and educator, and I really do enjoy people. If you'd like to practice your English language skills, learn a bit about gardening, and/or stretch your handy-person muscles, you'd enjoy yourself here. I've been a WorkAwayer myself and I know what makes it fun and rewarding.
I'm looking for someone to care for my house and adored pets this upcoming winter (2020-2012). I would like to pursue a WorkAway elsewhere while you are here. We could have an 'overlap' time for orientation. If you'd like free rent in exchange for minor duties, please contact me. Thanks!

You would have access to your own private bedroom and bathroom in a comfortable old house with a wood stove and furnace for winter comfort.
I live close to a beautiful old independent movie theatre, shops, restaurants, two great libraries, bus transportation, and a beautiful park with trails, canoe, kayak, tennis, badminton, outdoor pool, skateboard park, and community garden. My neighbours are great, and Saskatoon is generally a safe city. If you care for my house and pets while I am away, you are welcome to use my truck which has 4-wheel drive.

I have a good Wi-Fi access and you would have your own desk to work for them.
A camper van or car or truck could park on the road in front of my house. In the winter I could supply an extension cord to keep the battery warm.
I have two cats, and I know one of them would NOT want another cat on her territory. I do have a dog, and she is good with other dogs. If you stayed for a week or so, I am sure she could adapt to having a visitor in the house. Other dogs have stayed here before.
