The City of Saskatoon is officially declaring Friday, August 29, 2025, as “Green & White Day” in celebration of the 60^th annual Labour Day Classic, which will see the Saskatchewan Roughriders take on their long-time rivals, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday, August 31.

The declaration follows last week’s exciting announcement that Saskatoon will host the Roughriders for a pre-season game in May 2026 — a first for the city since the early 1990’s, and a major moment for local football fans.

To mark the occasion, a retro Roughriders Team flag will be raised at Civic Square and residents are encouraged to wear their Rider green and white throughout the day to show their community spirit and pride.

Mayor Cynthia Block said the celebration reflects how the Roughriders represent all of Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon.

“The Roughriders may play their home games in Regina, but they belong to all of Saskatchewan — and that includes Saskatoon. Declaring Green & White Day is a way for us to show our pride, our excitement for the Labour Day Classic, and our part in Rider Nation as we look forward to hosting the team here in 2026,” said Mayor Block. “I’ll have my green and white ready — Go Riders!”

Taylor Street will be closed between Victoria and Eastlake avenues starting Thursday, August 28, at 8:00 a.m. 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.
