Across North America, cities that experience cold, dark and snowy winters are developing new ways to help residents embrace the cold winter months. The concept of designing a “Winter City” is about capitalizing on opportunities to alleviate the real and perceived negative effects of the winter season and reinforce positive ones. The outcome can be a more accessible, inclusive, active, prosperous and livable community during the coldest months of the year.

Over the course of the last few years, the City has partnered with the community to create a Winter City Strategy for Saskatoon (called WintercityYXE) that will respond to opportunities associated with winter life, winter design and winter economy, as well as address perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of residents to generate a positive winter culture in our city. ​
