CAA Saskatchewan Magazine

Spring 2026 Issue - Read Now

Spring is a season of renewal, and this issue of CAA Saskatchewan Magazine brings fresh ideas for travel, bloom-chasing, and practical tips for your vehicle, home, and everyday life. You’ll also find perspectives from CAA Saskatchewan leadership—along with stories to spark curiosity and confidence wherever the season takes you.

Here are some exciting highlights:

Chair’s Message: It’s an honour to share my first message as Chair of the Board for CAA Saskatchewan. I’m grateful for the trust placed in me and inspired by more than a century of leadership. CAA continues to stand for reliability, safety, and service for our Members and communities.

Plant, Eat, Repeat: A quiet revolution is sprouting in Canadian yards, balconies, and window boxes: foodscaping—designing a garden that feeds you and the landscape. Learn what’s behind the boom.

Top Ten Best Cities for Layovers: No direct flight? A layover can be part of the adventure. These top cities can turn a pit-stop into a memorable moment—whether you stay at the airport or step out for a quick taste of local culture.

How to Rent a Car Overseas: Renting a car is a great way to explore when you travel. A few steps before an international trip can make pickup—and driving unfamiliar roads—much easier.

Engine Oil Basics: Motor oil lubricates and protects your engine by reducing heat, wear, and corrosion. Because many modern vehicles need fewer oil changes than in the past, follow your owner’s manual—and learn how to choose the right oil from CAA Battery Depot’s Steven Millar.

A Journey to the Heavens at Machu Picchu: A Canadian writer checks off a bucket-list trip with an unforgettable train journey through the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu.

Spring Bloom-Chasing Across Canada: As Canada warms, spring’s pageantry is ready to explore. Discover bloom-worthy stops at Waterton Lakes, Point Pelee, Prince Albert, and Nova Scotia’s Evangeline Trail.

Your Bucket List Destinations Made Easy: Daydreaming about bucket-list places is easy—planning can be the hard part. A guided tour can simplify the details, so you can focus on the experience. Contact a CAA Travel Consultant to get started.

Tackle These Tips to Prepare For Your Next Fishing Trip: Make your next fishing trip easier with tips on equipment, bait, and regulations. Add a few smart ways to use your CAA membership, and you’ll reel in exclusive Member savings and rewards, too.

Discover Your Parenting Partner With CAA: Parenting is made of small wins. A CAA membership can be a quiet helper in the background—smoothing the edges of busy days from drop-offs to weekend plans.

Adulting Simplified: Insurance can feel like a full-time job, with coverage for home, car, pets, and travel. Insurance is complicated — but it doesn’t have to be: “It’s our job to explain it,” says Lori Madsen, general manager of insurance operations at CAA Saskatchewan. “It’s so important to have a professional that you trust, a professional that is [guiding] you properly.”

Get Your Vehicle In Shape for Spring: Spring road trips are coming—make sure your vehicle is ready. Follow these maintenance tips, and book any needed work with your local CAA Approved Auto Repair Service (AARS™) facility.

Power Up With The CAA Battery Depot Quiz: CAA Battery Depot in Regina is your one-stop shop for battery and electric power needs—including boats, motorcycles, and RVs. Take our quick true-or-false quiz to see what we offer.
