Used to stop in Saskatoon every year on my way back from Winnipeg in the 185,always parked at Westwind Aviation(Shell Aerocentre).Last stop in 2013 had me paying the same price for parking as a king air($50 per night).I understood why I was the only private aircraft on their ramp.Fuel was the most expensive in western Canada at the time as well.

I fly into CYXE three or four times a year to visit the wife's folks. Used to park exclusively at Aeroshell, then they started charging for parking, moved to the Esso (Kroes Aviation) till I got dinged for a $50 facility fee on a three hour layover. Moved back to Aeroshell.
Last trip in June 2015 I paid $25/night to park on the Aeroshell ramp (they used to waive it for fuel purchase - I was told it was now 50% of $50 if I took fuel) and over $2.20/liter when gas at my home field in Alberta was $1.55.
Cheaper juice 45min flight time West Southwest at Kindersley from an honor based fuel purchase system.
I've driven by CRF5 (Martensville) a couple of times on my way to the butcher (Smoke Haus - makers of the world's finest bacon). I dunno if a 3000' grass strip makes you queasy but that is an option...about ten min northwest of Saskatoon. Not sure about getting transportation, unless someone would come pick you up.
During your stay:
1) The butter fried chicken wings at Saigon Two are a thing of beauty - hope you like garlic;
2) Aden's downtown is run by the winner of last season's MasterChef and it my new favorate place in Toon town these days;
3) Greek ribs at Mano's are with the experience and are quite good; and
4) Steaks at Carvers in the Sheraton are excellent (as is the ceasar salad and wine list) but you will pay dearly for the experience.
Have fun.
