The Growth Plan focuses on the City of Saskatoon’s Strategic Plan goals of Sustainable Growth and Moving Around.  These goals are about building places to bring people together and providing more transportation choices so Saskatoon will be a healthier, more sustainable, accessible, and attractive place to live as our population doubles over the next 30 to 40 years. 

Public consultation will be ongoing throughout the development of the Growth Plan.  To learn more and get involved, please visit www.growingfwd.ca.
