Saskatoon Fire - News Releases
River caution again urged: South Saskatchewan River flows increasing
July 2, 2026 - 5:07pm
- Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
- Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
- Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.
- Stay calm.
- Keep your head above the water.
- Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
- Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.
Residents are strongly warned against all recreational activities on the river, including boating, paddling, swimming, floating, fishing from the shoreline and other water-based activities. The public is also advised to avoid approaching the river’s edge, as fast-moving water, unstable banks and submerged hazards can create dangerous situations. Pets should also be kept at a safe distance from the River.
The public boat launch beneath the Broadway Bridge and River Access points in the Meewasin Valley will be closed. River safety devices will be monitored regularly during high-flow conditions.
If you witness someone in distress in the river:
If you are in distress in the river:
Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.
Additional Information
Over the past week, the South Saskatchewan River Basin headwaters received significant precipitation, with observed rainfall amounts generally higher than previously forecast.
This means more water is on the way into Lake Diefenbaker and downstream through Saskatoon.
The Water Security Agency advises river flows are expected to increase from the already elevated present rate of approximately 270 cubic metres per second (m³/s) increasing to approximately 770 m³/s by Monday July 6.
This flow rate is higher than what was experienced last month and are expected well into next week.
The South Saskatchewan River is very unpredictable. Aside from the changing, dangerously fast currents and unstable bottom, the river will have many additional hazards right now such as fallen branches, hidden material like broken concrete and floating debris that will pose a threat to anyone in or near the water.
Saskatoon Water
Saskatoon Water is prepared for the greater flows. While expecting more sediment and cloudiness in the river, processes are in place to handle extra clarification that may be needed. Water service is not expected to be impacted by the rising river levels.
Bridges
The rising and faster flowing water is not expected to pose any threat to bridges nor cause any significant challenges for construction projects. The City’s Asset Preservation team continues to talk with contractors working on both the Broadway Bridge and the University Bridge to ensure their staff remain safe.
Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River
As mentioned, Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits.
View weir from a safe distance
The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that can trap objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from designated areas along Spadina Crescent East.

Spring sweep complete for 2026
June 30, 2026 - 1:00pm
The 2026 residential spring sweep program has been completed, with crews finishing select streets that were initially skipped for operational or weather-related reasons. This annual program helps improve roadway safety and drainage, and contributes to cleaner neighbourhoods.
Over the past several weeks, crews swept high-traffic roadways, medians, park frontages and residential neighbourhoods, removing winter sand and debris from city streets. During the 2026 program, crews swept a total centreline distance of approximately 970 kilometres and removed approximately 13,500 tonnes of debris from Saskatoon roadways.
Spring sweep began with pre-sweep operations on April 29, followed by the residential program beginning May 4. Crews completed 54 days of sweeping. Sweeping operations were impacted by rain, requiring schedule adjustments throughout the program.
The City thanks residents for their patience and cooperation throughout the program, particularly those who moved their vehicles to allow crews full access to the curb. Public cooperation helps crews complete the work efficiently and reduces the need for return visits.
While the residential program is now complete, street sweeping will continue in industrial areas and at locations that were inaccessible due to construction.
Residents can learn more about the City's roadway maintenance programs by visiting saskatoon.ca/sweep.

June weather causes delays to College Drive construction
June 29, 2026 - 3:30pm
Due to recent heavy rainfall and weather events throughout the month of June and forecasted rain for the remainder of this week, construction on College Drive is experiencing delays. Opening the University Bridge and College Drive corridor to two lanes of traffic – one lane in each direction – is now expected in mid- to late July, subject to favourable weather and construction conditions.
Emergency services vehicle access to the hospitals will be maintained across University Bridge throughout construction. Pedestrian access also remains in place.
The City is continuing to work with the contractor to finalize plans for upcoming stages of construction along College Drive. Additional information will be shared as details are confirmed.
The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as these essential infrastructure projects continue.

Drivers reminded to stay alert this summer as school and playground zones remain in effect
June 29, 2026 - 11:00am
As summer arrives, Saskatoon motorists are reminded that reduced speeds in school and playground zones are in effect throughout the summer season.
School and playground zones have a posted speed limit of 30 km/h, which is in effect 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week.
It is important to stay alert and pay close attention while driving near school and park playgrounds, which are used by many families throughout the summer for children’s play, outdoor sports activities, and larger community events.
The penalty for speeding in a school zone starts at $170 with additional fines for every kilometre over the speed limit.
U-turns are not permitted near both elementary and high schools. Drivers are reminded that high school areas do not have a reduced posted limit.
Learn more about school and playground zones at saskatoon.ca/speedlimit. Information about speeding penalties can be found at sgi.sk.ca/speeding-penalties.
