City releases 2024 Report on Service, Savings, Sustainability (SSS)
The City has released its 2024 Report on Service, Savings, Sustainability (SSS). The SSS Report has been released annually since 2005 when City Council directed Administration to prepare a yearly report on efficiencies implemented in the previous year. The report highlights the ways the City’s departments and teams worked together in the preceding year to:
- Capture savings and find efficiencies
- Enhance services for residents through creativity and innovation
- Make improvements in the area of sustainability
“This report highlights the work that our employees do every day to create better services and experiences for the residents of Saskatoon,” says Richard Phillips, the City’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “We are always looking to meet the needs of our growing and diverse community. This report captures how our City employees, as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, have found innovative and creative ways to enhance service delivery, capture savings across the organization, and grow in a sustainable way in 2024.”
The report identifies over $5.4 million saved through cost savings, cost avoidance and reductions, with an additional $1.9 million in cost avoidance to come over the next three to five years.
The 2024 SSS Report is available at saskatoon.ca/SSSreport. As well, you will also find a video on this webpage that provides a preview of the full report, highlighting four of the stories featured in 2024.
