News Releases

The snowfall has now ended and total accumulation across Saskatoon has surpassed the 5-centimetre threshold, meaning a Snow Event has been declared.

City and contractor crews are mobilized with 28 graders and eight plows maintaining Priority streets, while 16 sanding and salting trucks continue to address icy conditions.

The snow event response follows the Priority Street system:

Priority 1 – Freeways and major arterials. This includes Circle Dr. and streets with three+ lanes each way like Idylwyld Dr. 22nd St and College Dr.

Priority 2 - Arterials with double-lanes and bus routes. Double-lane streets like Clarence Ave, McKercher Dr. and Millar Ave.

Priority 3 - Collector streets, remaining Business Improvement District streets and school zones. These streets take you through your neighbourhood like Louise Ave, Howell Ave. and Main St.

Crews will remain active throughout the event until priority routes are graded.

Drivers are reminded to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and give road maintenance equipment the space needed to operate.

The status of snow clearing throughout the city can be monitored through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s level of service, can be found at saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay in the know by checking the latest Snow & Ice Report posted to saskatoon.ca/SnowReport.

The City is hosting three workshops to help organizations learn about available grants and improve their grant writing skills.

Each session will include an overview of the current and upcoming City grants, followed by a grant writing workshop. Participants are welcome to attend only the overview or stay for the full session.
