News Releases

The Saskatoon Zoo is proud to announce its official certification as a Sensory Inclusive facility through a partnership with KultureCity, a leading nonprofit in sensory accessibility and inclusion. This milestone marks a significant step in the Zoo’s commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all guests, especially individuals with sensory processing needs.

As part of this initiative, Sensory Bags are now available at the Zoo Admission gate. These complimentary bags are available for checkout with a valid ID and include KCVIP badges to help staff identify and support guests with sensory needs, fidget tools, noise-canceling headphones and other helpful resources. Each item is thoroughly cleaned between uses to ensure safety and comfort.

“Zoos are naturally sensory-rich environments, which can be overwhelming for individuals with sensory sensitivities,” said Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “By offering sensory tools and staff training, we’re making the Zoo a more accessible and enjoyable place for everyone.”

For more information about the sensory inclusive program visit saskatoon.ca/zoo.

Spadina Crescent will be closed between 22nd and 23rd streets on Friday, September 5, starting at 5:00 a.m. for the Colliers Cup Charity Street Hockey Tournament. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the event. This closure is expected to be lifted after 8:00 p.m., 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.
