Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre reopening delayed
July 23, 2026 - 1:30pm
The reopening of Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre has been delayed and the facility will not open in fall 2026 as previously anticipated.
During inspection and testing of the pool, deficiencies were identified that must be corrected before the project can proceed to pool tiling and finishing. The contractor is addressing these issues. While a confirmed reopening date is not yet available, the City is currently projecting a winter opening.
“While we know this update is disappointing for residents and user groups who have been looking forward to the reopening of Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre, it is important that the remaining work be completed properly before the facility opens,” says Dan Willems, Director of Technical Services. “We appreciate the patience of clubs, user groups and the community as we work toward reopening the facility.”
When Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre reopens, it will continue to serve a range of community needs within the City’s aquatic system, including training, instruction, club programming, public swimming and other aquatic recreation opportunities. The work underway is part of a major renewal project that will modernize key aquatic and building systems, improve accessibility and help ensure Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre can continue serving the community for years to come.
For project updates and information, visit saskatoon.ca/harrybailey.

Reminder: recycling depots are for residential use only
July 22, 2026 - 4:00pm
The City's recycling depots have recently been experiencing higher-than-normal volumes of material, resulting in some bins reaching capacity more quickly than anticipated. Administration is exploring options to address the increased demand at the depots.
Commercial businesses and organizations are reminded that the City’s recycling depots are for residential use only. All businesses and organizations in Saskatoon are required to separate and divert recyclable materials. Businesses are encouraged to access the Recycling Guide for Businesses and Organizations for more information on diversion options at saskatoon.ca/businessrecycling.
Residents can help maximize available depot capacity by flattening cardboard boxes and only dropping off accepted recyclable materials. Unaccepted materials and items left outside of the bins are considered illegal dumping and create additional cleanup challenges and costs. If a depot appears full, residents are encouraged to visit another location or return at a later time.
For more information about recycling depot locations and accepted materials, please visit saskatoon.ca/recyclingdepots.
