The City of Saskatoon is looking for resident feedback on its draft Accessibility plan from now until September 22, 2025.

“We had over 500 people share their experiences with accessibility barriers with us and we are very thankful because their insights helped shape this draft Accessibility plan,” says Stryker Calvez, Director of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) for the City of Saskatoon. “Now, we need feedback from our residents on this draft plan to see if this report reflects their experiences with accessibility in our community or if there is anything we missed.”

Since 2008, the City of Saskatoon has been working to make spaces, services, and programs more inclusive through the Accessibility Action Plan. This included improving sidewalks, clearing snow more effectively, upgrading Transit, making buildings and playgrounds more accessible, enhancing the City’s website and providing staff training. The new draft Accessibility Plan builds on this work and focuses on the key areas where barriers to accessibility exist:

• Built environments (accessible indoor and outdoor spaces)
• Information and communications
• Transportation
• Service Animals
• City Services and Programs
• Finding and applying for employment with the City of Saskatoon
• Attitudes and biases

Residents can review the plan and fill out the short survey on the City’s Accessibility website. The survey will be open until September 22. Paper copies of the online form are available upon request by calling the Customer Care Centre: 306-975-2476

“Improving accessibility in our communities is a complex task and we recognize that there is going to be some trial and error in getting it right,” says Calvez. “We hope this plan shows our commitment to creating a more inclusive community for everyone.”

 

Taylor Street will be closed between Herold and Slimmon roads on Tuesday, September 9, starting at 7:00 a.m. for roadway patching. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the area. This project is expected to take one day 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.

The southbound lane of Fairlight Drive on the Circle Drive ramp is closed for infrastructure repairs. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take one to two days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
