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.

2025 Key Highlights

• 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 2025 Service, Savings and Sustainability Report and Video is available online here.

33rd Street will be closed between Catherwood and Junor Avenues starting Thursday, May 14, at 8:00 a.m. for a connection replacement. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the area. This project is expected to take two days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Traffic restrictions on Neault Avenue have been lifted. The roadway closed May 12 between Township Road 370 and 22nd Street West following a hit-and run collision with a traffic light, causing the traffic light to lean over the roadway.
