In 2004, the civic heritage program conducted a Heritage Properties Identification project to compile a comprehensive listing of heritage buildings, structures and properties in Saskatoon, including City-owned property. The heritage property survey process was intended to list properties or urban features identified as having heritage character or heritage value in the community in accordance with a set of criteria. The survey scope included private and public buildings and properties within a general cut-off date of 1945.

For properties to be included on the database they must qualify for two or more of the following characteristics:

1. The structure was constructed prior to 1945.
   
   
2. The structure has a connection with a historical person or event of significance to Saskatoon history (or Saskatchewan or Canadian history), or any well-documented person or event.
   
   
3. The structure is an example of a particular known architectural style or theme.
   
   
4. The structure is the work of a known architect.
   
   
5. The structure is considered a “landmark” or otherwise has value to members of the Saskatoon community on at least a neighbourhood level.
   
   
6. The structure is an example of Saskatoon architectural or historical themes of which there are few examples left.
   
   
7. The structure has other demonstrable merit from an architectural, heritage, or community value perspective; or belongs to a theme, area or district of the City that is known to have historical associations or community value.

To ensure that the database remains current, heritage staff encourages new submissions to the Built Heritage Database on an on-going basis. If you know of a property in Saskatoon that you feel should be included on the database please print and complete the Heritage Submission Form and fax it to (306) 975-7712. Or, if you wish to obtain information about a property that might be listed on the database, phone (306) 975-2993 or email the City of Saskatoon Heritage Coordinator.  The database is also available in the Saskatoon Public Library Local History Room, 2nd Floor, Frances Morrison Library.  Please call 975-7578 or email lhstaff@saskatoonlibrary.ca.
