The annual Living in Harmony Awards recognize individuals and organizations whose outstanding achievements contribute to the elimination of racial discrimination.
Nominations are welcome of any member (individual/organization) of the Saskatoon community.
The Awards are part of the City’s commitment to foster an inclusive community where diversity is welcomed and valued, and where everyone can live with dignity and to their full potential, without facing racism or discrimination.
Friday night’s snowfall covered Saskatoon with approximately 7 centimetres of snow. City crews have worked through the night clearing snow on Priority 1 streets such as Circle Drive, 22nd Street, Idylwyld Drive, College Drive and 8th Street. Grading continues on the remaining Priority street network.
The extreme cold, combined with this new moisture may cause icing on bridge decks, freeway ramps, overpasses and high-traffic intersections. Crews are sanding; however, salt is not effective at these low temperatures and sand is not sticking to the road.
