Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting intermittent snow and/or freezing rain beginning Thursday morning, along with strong east winds gusting up to 60 km/h. The City is prepared to respond to maintain safe roadways and driving conditions. 

These conditions could lead to blowing snow and reduced visibility, making driving difficult, especially on open roads and bridges. Open areas are particularly vulnerable to snow drifting, with some streets accumulating deep drifts. Please avoid driving through these drifts if possible. Crews will clear them with graders and plows when visibility improves. 

Freezing rain can create icy surfaces, increasing the risk of slipping and longer stopping distances.  

By Thursday evening the risk of freezing rain will diminish but heavier snowfall is expected overnight. Winds will also begin to ease. On Friday light flurries may continue until the afternoon. Saskatoon is expected to receive 2-5 cm of snow, though in a worst-case scenario totals could reach 10-12 cm.  

City of Saskatoon crews will be out monitoring and clearing roads to help keep travel as safe as possible. If you see snowplows or sanding trucks with blue and amber flashing lights please give them time and space to work. Stay well back, avoid passing and drive with caution around snow-clearing equipment. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, drive according to conditions and allow extra travel time. 

For more information about winter road maintenance visit saskatoon.ca/snow, and stay updated on current conditions with the Snow & Ice Report. 

Property owners, the 2025 Assessment Roll, a listing of all properties in Saskatoon, is open for public inspection January 27 to March 28, 2025. The timeframe also marks the 60-Day Customer Review and Appeal Period.

Your 2025 formal assessment appeal deadline:

If, after speaking with an assessor, you disagree with your property's 2025 reassessed value, you must submit your formal assessment appeal to the Board of Revision before the March 28, 2025, deadline. Ensure your completed appeal form and required fees are included. An appeal form was included with your 2025 Assessment Notice sent in January 2025 or download from saskatoon.ca/assessment.

The City of Saskatoon has merged seven of its appeal boards into one, creating the new Saskatoon Appeal Board. This change follows updated Terms of Reference, changes to mandate and composition, new Bylaw amendments, and public engagement feedback and is in accordance with common practice in other municipalities.

Combined Appeal Boards:

• Property Maintenance Appeal Board
• Saskatoon Private Swimming Pools Appeal Board
• Environmental Management Appeal Board
• Fire Appeal Board
• Saskatoon License Appeal Board
• Access Transit Appeal Board
• City Mortgage Appeal Board

The Saskatoon Appeal Board will handle appeals related to City decisions on permits, licenses, Orders to Remedy, Access Transit access, and City mortgage forgiveness. Hearings are scheduled for two afternoons per month, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The board's membership consists of seven City Council appointed members, with panels consisting of at least three members.
