City Council approved Victoria Park as the location for the “Where Our Paths Cross” reconciliation commemorative artwork.  The endorsement came at the June 26, 2017 City Council meeting.

“Where Our Paths Cross” was commissioned by the Saskatoon Tribal Council and the City of Saskatoon, with funding from the Government of Canada.  Its creation is in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action No. 79:  Educating and creating a sense of shared awakening.

Saskatoon’s new Traffic Bridge is ready for its first concrete deck pour. Graham Commuter Partners (GCP) will complete the first pour for the new deck during the evening of Sunday, June 25, 2017, meaning activity at the site will extend beyond typical working hours, weather permitting.

“Nighttime is the best time to complete large pours like this because the temperatures are cooler and humidity is lower,” says Dan Willems, Special Projects Manager, Major Projects and Preservation. “This will be the first of three concrete pours for the new bridge deck.”

The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) is pleased to announce the draft P4G Regional Plan (Plan) is complete.

The draft Plan recommends a series of guiding principles and policies around land use, transportation, servicing, and implementation, as well as proposes new governance and administrative structures for the region.

The P4G invites residents in the Rural Municipality of Corman Park; the Cities of Saskatoon, Warman, and Martensville; and the Town of Osler to an information session for the draft Plan.
