Skip the hassle of traffic and parking for Canada Day celebrations and ride with Saskatoon Transit downtown.

Fixed-route service will operate regular holiday hours until 9 p.m. on July 1 (normal fares apply).

After the fireworks, free bus service will depart from locations on either side of the river–3rd Avenue and 19th Street (north); and Victoria Avenue and 11th Street (south). View the Canada Day 2025 special event bus map.

All Access Transit pickups and drop-offs for the event will be at the temporary stop on 2nd Avenue just north of the Alt Hotel. Access Transit will operate until 11 p.m. for customers. Per normal booking procedures, trips must be booked in advance, and subscriptions do not apply on statutory holidays.

Customers are encouraged to use real-time apps like Transit or Google Maps Transit to plan their trips. However, trip planning for travel after the Canada Day fireworks will not be available in these apps.

The City of Saskatoon continues to work on repainting lines on roads and crosswalks, ensuring we can all move around the city safely.

Line painting began in the spring and includes crosswalks and other road markings getting a much-needed fresh coat of paint.

Crews have finished painting 65 per cent of crosswalks, including all school zone crossings. This work is expected to be done in early July. When crosswalk painting is completed, other roadway symbols such as turning arrows, railway crossing markings, and bike symbols will be repainted.

The City’s line marking truck has painted the equivalent of nearly 26 kilometres of white lane lines and 14 kilometres of yellow centre lines along several busy roads. This work is expected to wrap up by the end of August.

Please use caution and take care when you encounter a painting crew on the road. They’re not blocking your path – they’re making a safer one. Let’s do our part to keep them safe, too, and respect work zones.

To learn more about pavement markings in Saskatoon, visit saskatoon.ca/LinePaint.

33rd Street is closed today between Avenues C and D for unplanned water main repairs. Detours are in place guiding motorists around the work zone. The timeline for the completion of this unplanned work will be updated later today. 

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

For more information about current road restrictions and construction, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.

School may be out, but school zones are still in.

The City of Saskatoon is reminding motorists that school and playground zones with posted 30 km/h speed limits are in effect year-round, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week.

Drivers must reduce their speed when travelling through these zones, no matter the season. Getting children safely to and from where they learn and play is everyone’s responsibility.

Where school and playground signs do not include a posted speed limit, treat the sign as a caution. You do not have to reduce speed in these areas. However, it is important to stay alert and pay close attention.

The penalty for speeding in a school zone starts at $170 with additional fines for every kilometre over the speed limit. The penalty for speeding in playground zones is the same as any other speeding offense, with fines starting at $100.

U-turns are not permitted in school zones around elementary or high schools.

Learn more about school and playground zones at saskatoon.ca/speedlimit.
