The City has released its 2023 Report on Service, Savings, Sustainability (SSS). The SSS Report has been released annually since 2005 when City Council directed Administration to prepare a report annually on efficiencies implemented in the previous year. The report highlights the ways the City’s business lines teams worked together in the preceding year to:

• capture savings
• enhance services for residents, and
• make improvements in the area of sustainability

“This type of report is not one that is done in many other municipalities,” says Celene Anger, the City’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “This year’s report includes more than 130 stories from business areas across the City which feature ways we have both improved and streamlined services without compromising quality.”

The report identifies $4.35 million in total savings. These savings were realized through cost avoidance, cost reductions, and time savings. 

The 2023 SSS Report is available at saskatoon.ca/SSSreport. As well, you will also find a video on this webpage that provides a preview of the full report, highlighting four of the stories featured in 2023

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.
