Saskatoon Ex festivities kicked off Saturday morning with the annual Ex Parade. People crowded the streets of downtown to see floats, horses and more.

Many members of the CTV crew were also on hand including Rob MacDonald, Chantel Huber, and Jeff Rogstad for the six o’clock news, as well as Jeremy Dodge and Stephanie Massicotte from CTV Morning live.

Traditionally, the parade falls on the opening day of the Ex, but was changed this year to better accommodate families. The Ex opens on Tuesday at Prairieland Park.
