Both of them in Saskatoon. Not sure about the exact humidex and windchill extremes I've experienced, but the highest humidex was definitely over 40°C / 104°F, and lowest windchill under -50°C / -58°F.
The lowest temererature I have ever experienced: -34°F/-36°C North Dakota USA 1967, 1969, 1970
Those are official records for when I lived there as a kid. But I remember seeing our thermometer showing -40s lots of times. The snow never melted in the wintertime.
The highest temerature I have ever experienced: 109°F/42°C San Jose CA USA in 2000.
Doesn't usually get over a 100 here, but it does happen once in a while.
Highest was a muggy 106 in New Brunswick, NJ on a Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1995; I was renting a room from the Rutgers chapter of my fraternity at Penn State; the house wasn't air-conditioned, so we "chilled out" in the cellar.
Lowest: -28 on a cold night in Plattsburgh, NY, on one of a number of trips I made to Montreal in the early nineties.
I'm not counting some lower temps which are a regular occurrence at a collection of service stations and restaurants at an isolated interchange on the Adirondack Thruway (I-87) about halfway between Lake George and Plattsburgh. According to the guys behind the counter, the cold air just sinks through a gap in the hills and descends toward Lake Champlain a mile or so to the east. Temps of 40 below, or lower, are reportedly fairly common there.

Highest will be around 50-51C in Iraq in 2004 and 2005. I'm not too sure about coldest, I know it was when I was in Bardufoss, Norway, I just can't remember the temperature. I know it was colder than -30C as we had to stop working when it fell below that temperature.
The highest I have ever experienced was in a sheltered cleft of rock in Arizona in mid summer. I had a thermometer with me and it read 160F.
I worked in northern Manitoba for a few years in my 20s. They sent us back to the camp if the temp. dropped below -50. One day it got down to -58. Brrrrrr.
