The river isn't always a serene place, it can be dangerous, and in 1915 Edmonton saw an epic flood. Check out the newspaper headlines or the short doc http://tinyurl.com/zcw2btr

According to the Royal Alberta Museum, the sturgeon is the living dinosaur of Alberta fish. It belongs to a group of fish dating back 300 million years. The average size of the lake sturgeon in the North Saskatchewan River is about 5 kilograms, but they can reach as much as 45.36 kilograms. These fish can live for over 100 years and do not begin to reproduce until they are 15-20 years old.
