Strategic Plan
Saskatoon Has a New Strategic Plan!
On February 25, 2026, City Council adopted Saskatoon’s 2026–2029 Strategic Plan — our roadmap for the next four years.
This plan outlines the key priorities and direction that will guide the City’s work, helping us deliver programs and services that keep pace with our community’s changing needs. Together with the Official Community Plan and our Multi‑Year Business Plan and Budget, it ensures we’re moving forward with clarity, purpose, and long‑term stability.
It’s important to note that the Strategic Plan doesn’t capture everything the City does. Instead, it highlights the areas where we’re focusing our energy to make meaningful improvements over time, so Saskatoon continues to be one of the best places to live, work, learn and play.
The Strategic Plan is a living document, meaning we regularly monitor and measure progress to stay accountable and keep our goals on track.
Discover how we’re planning for today – and tomorrow.
