The Meewasin Valley Authority is a conservation organization created by the Provincial Government of Saskatchewan in Canada and is dedicated to conserving the cultural and natural resources of the South Saskatchewan River Valley.^[1] The authority's activities include education, development and conservation. Centred in Saskatoon, the Conservation Zone of Meewasin runs 60 kilometres (37 mi) along the river valley from the eastern edge of the municipality of Corman Park through Saskatoon to the western edge of Corman Park (Pike Lake to Clarke’s Crossing). The authority is actively involved in the River Landing redevelopment.

It is made up of numerous conservation areas, canoe launches, interpretive centres (Meewasin Valley Centre, Beaver Creek Conservation Area and Saskatoon Natural Grasslands), Yorath Island, the university lands, a skating rink, and over 107 kilometres (66 mi) of Meewasin Valley Trail, 22.5 km (14.0 mi) of which are paved.^[2]
