Seasonal decoration removal begins January 19
January 16, 2026 - 7:00am
- University Bridge – Monday, January 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- 2nd Avenue – Sunday, January 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Saskatoon Light & Power will remove seasonal decorations on some city streets and bridges starting January 19. Work will impact traffic in the following areas:
This will be a moving work zone and will impact traffic in both directions. Drivers are reminded to slow down in work zones and be respectful of workers.
The Decorative Lighting Program provides lit and unlit seasonal decorations on street light poles in many of Saskatoon’s major commercial areas over the winter season. The decorations provide a welcoming ambience, supporting the Winter City Strategy by providing more lighting to make the darker winter season more inviting and beautiful.
While some are removed in January, the remainder of the decorations are turned off and removed after the spring equinox.
