Despite a drizzly start, the skies cleared and the community spirit shone bright at the City of Saskatoon’s 49^th Annual Civic Pancake Fundraising Breakfast on Thursday, June 19! Thank you to everyone who came out to support the United Way of Saskatoon & Area.

We’re proud to announce that our 49^th Annual Civic Pancake Breakfast raised $10,594.18 (after expenses) for United Way Saskatoon & Area.

Pancake Breakfast results year over year;

Total number of breakfast tickets sold in 2025: 1,044

Total number of breakfast tickets sold in 2023: 1,289

(Note: Tickets in 2024 and 2023 were priced at $7)

Paying it forward with kindness

Thank you for your generosity, Saskatoon, you paid it forward and purchased 115 Act of Kindness tickets! Saskatoon City Employees Credit Union and the City brought back the Act of Kindness Ticket board, allowing attendees and non-attendees to purchase extra breakfast tickets that allowed more people in our community to enjoy a warm breakfast and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether used or unused, every dollar from these tickets goes directly to United Way Saskatoon & Area.

Last year, the City’s 48^th Annual Civic Pancake Breakfast tally ended with a record-breaking final donation (revenue less expenses) to the United Way Saskatoon & Area of $13,471.50.

The City of Saskatoon extends a grateful thank you to our valued breakfast sponsors listed below - we could not hold this important fundraising event without their generous support. Thank you to all for making our important community fundraiser another great success!

June is Electricity Month: Join us in honoring Saskatoon’s electrical workers!

June 23, 2025 - 6:00am

UE25-11132

June 23, 2025 - 6:00 am

Powering our city is no small feat—it takes dedication, skill, and teamwork. From June 23-27, Saskatoon Light & Power is celebrating the incredible individuals who keep our homes, businesses, and communities connected.

Electrical workers are the backbone of our city’s electrical infrastructure, working tirelessly in all conditions to ensure reliable power. Whether scaling utility poles, troubleshooting complex systems, ensuring reliability of metering infrastructure, or maintaining the grid, their precision and commitment help keep Saskatoon shining.

From system controllers and electricians to lineworkers, technicians, metering staff, warehouse teams, and administrative support—each worker plays a vital role in keeping the lights on and our city running smoothly.

Let’s show our appreciation!

Here’s how you can recognize their hard work:

Say Thank You: A simple "thank you" goes a long way. If you see an electrical worker in action, take a moment to show your gratitude.

Share the Love: Use social media to spread appreciation. Share stories, photos, and messages recognizing their dedication.

Support Safety: Electrical work comes with risks. Do your part by reporting any hazards or concerns in your community.

Educate & Inform: Talk to friends and family about electrical safety and the essential work these professionals do year-round.

Join us in celebrating the people who power Saskatoon! Visit saskatoon.ca/ElectricalWW for more information.
