Gabriel’s Bridge
From this aerial view the curves of the South Saskatchewan River, the “S” curve of the HWY 312, and the oval track of the One Arrow Powwow Grounds make visual landmarks on a clear October day north of Saskatoon.
The significance of this location is amazing. In the centre of the reflected highlight is the Gabriel Bridge named after Louis Riel's military commander who operated the ferry here until his death in 1906. It was in this region that Metis families were terrorized by Canadian troops. Near here the Battle of Batoche took place and it is here that the “Back to Batoche Days” are celebrated every summer.
