City releases 2025 Service, Savings and Sustainability Report
May 13, 2026 - 2:30pm
- Financial Responsibility:
$4.13 million in savings were achieved in 2025, with $7.88 million in total projected savings over five years. - Efficient Infrastructure Delivery:
A new approach to curb stop replacements is expected to save taxpayers up to $425,000 annually, while reducing construction disruption and avoiding the need for drinking water advisories. - Waste Reduction and Environmental Stewardship:
City‑delivered services diverted 42,457 tonnes of waste from the landfill, an increase of 1,726 tonnes from 2024. Waste diversion through the Material Recovery Centre increased by 35 per cent year over year. - Innovation in City Operations:
The introduction of a GPS‑guided sport field line‑painting robot improves accuracy and efficiency, allowing staff to focus on other priority work while maintaining high‑quality recreational spaces. - Community Engagement and Reconciliation:
Residents were engaged on initiatives such as affordable housing, river access and new leisure amenities, while the City advanced Reconciliation through meaningful initiatives, relationship‑building and collaboration with Indigenous communities.
The City of Saskatoon has released its 2025 Service, Savings and Sustainability (SSS) Report, highlighting the progress made over the past year to improve civic services, strengthen long‑term sustainability and deliver strong value for taxpayers.
The report showcases how City teams continue to build on past successes by identifying efficiencies, introducing innovation and investing wisely to meet the needs of Saskatoon’s growing population. In 2025 alone, these efforts resulted in $4.13 million in savings, with $7.88 million in cumulative savings expected over the coming years through continued cost savings, cost avoidance and reductions.
“As Saskatoon grows, we remain focused on using public resources responsibly while delivering high‑quality services residents rely on,” says Jeff Jorgenson, City Manager. “The 2025 SSS Report reflects the dedication and creativity of City employees and the meaningful impact of their work.”
The report also highlights the City’s continued focus on livability, sustainability and inclusive growth, ensuring Saskatoon remains a vibrant and resilient community for current and future residents.

Coexisting with Saskatoon’s urban wildlife
May 12, 2026 - 9:00am
- Do not feed wildlife: You are not helping them. Feeding wild animals can make them lose their natural fear of humans, leading to increased encounters and potential conflicts. City Bylaw prohibits the feeding of wildlife on all public and private property in Saskatoon and may result in fines.
- Respect wildlife: They are not pets. Keep wildlife wild by not approaching or attempting to touch them.
- Use hazing techniques: If you encounter a wild animal, make loud noises, wave your arms and throw small objects towards (but not at) it to scare it away. Do not run or turn your back.
- Secure food sources: Keep garbage, compost, birdseed and pet food out of reach and tightly sealed.
- Keep pets safe: Always supervise pets when they are outside, especially at night. While out on a walk, have pets under your control and on a leash in areas known to have wildlife.
- Report unusual behaviour: If the animal is acting unusual (e.g., approaching people, staggering or acting confused), call Customer Care at 306-975-2476. If the animal is acting aggressive, contact the Saskatoon Police Service non-emergency line at 306-975-8300. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
As warmer weather approaches, it’s important to remember that we share our urban spaces with many species of wildlife such as coyotes, foxes, geese, jackrabbits and raccoons.
Encountering urban wildlife in Saskatoon is normal and these animals play a vital role in our ecosystem. Understanding how to coexist with them can ensure safety for both the wildlife and our community.
Here are some important tips for coexisting with urban wildlife:
By following these guidelines, we can co-exist safely and prevent unwanted encounters with the wildlife that share our urban spaces.
For more information on urban wildlife, visit saskatoon.ca/wildlife.
