Homes: Sutherland

Sutherland is a mostly residential neighbourhood in east-central Saskatoon, nestled between the expansive University of Saskatchewan campus lands and an industrial area & company town beside the CPR railyards. In 1907 CPR built its yards and station three miles (5 km) east of Saskatoon, and workers' homes were built close-by.

In 1956, the town of Sutherland was annexed by Saskatoon and was the city's easternmost neighbourhood until the 1970s when the city grew even further east. The community's streets had to be renamed to avoid confusion with identically-named streets already in Saskatoon, so Sutherland's 11th Street became 115th Street.

Schools

Sutherland has a public elementary in the north and a Catholic elementary (a Ukrainian bilingual school) in the south, as well as a public library. T he community is home to the West Co-Op College and is adjacent to the U of S campus, with excellent road access.
