Early street sweeping underway in Saskatoon
April 10, 2025 - 10:00am
With the arrival of spring and the melting of snow, the City of Saskatoon has begun early street sweeping operations to remove winter debris from high-traffic roadways.
Throughout April, crews will focus on major streets—those with heavy traffic and significant buildup of dirt and debris. Sweepers will clear gutters and medians, navigating around parked vehicles to remove as much material as possible before the City-wide full sweep begins.
City-wide street sweeping is set to begin in early May. At that time, temporary “No Parking” signs will be placed to allow crews full access to the curb. Residents are encouraged to move their vehicles as signed to ensure a complete and efficient cleanup of every neighbourhood.
In addition to sweeping, road maintenance teams are actively addressing potholes. Crews are applying cold mix asphalt as a temporary fix to high-priority areas until hot mix becomes available later this month. If you notice a pothole that poses a danger to drivers or a sunken pavement patch, you can report it on the City’s Report a Pothole map and we’ll get to it as soon as we can. More information is available at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
The City of Saskatoon appreciates the cooperation of residents in maintaining clean and well-maintained roadways. For more details on the street sweeping schedule, visit saskatoon.ca/sweep.
We thank all residents for their cooperation in helping keep Saskatoon's roadways clean, safe and ready for the season ahead.

National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge; flags to be lowered April 9
April 8, 2025 - 1:54pm
On April 9, Canada will observe the National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. This day commemorates the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Corps during the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917.
In honour of this significant event, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will be flown at half-mast in respect of Canada’s veterans, and to remember the nearly 3,600 soldiers who lost their lives and more than 7,000 who were wounded on that fateful day.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked the first time that all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought in a battle together in the First World War against a common enemy. The Battle is considered by many to be a turning point for our country and the beginning of Canada’s march towards nationhood.

Ice melting on recreational ponds and South Saskatchewan River
April 7, 2025 - 1:00pm
As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions.
Ice thickness is no longer suitable for winter recreational use. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe. Fire crews will be updating the posted signage this week to read “No Skating” at each recreational storm pond.
Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including removing personal belongings, as well as user safety.
Additionally, ice on the South Saskatchewan River has also started to melt. The ice that covers this body of water is unpredictable and is therefore never safe for winter recreational use. Residents are asked to never venture out onto the ice that covers sections of the South Saskatchewan River.
Community members are advised to always exercise an elevated level of caution when around any large body of water. Keep a close watch on children and pets when visiting trails, parks, or off-leash areas that may run adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River or a storm water retention pond.
For more information regarding the Recreational Uses of Storm Water Retention Ponds policy, visit saskatoon.ca/ponds.
