The waterslide in the leisure swimming pool at Lakewood Civic Centre is now up and running, and ready for the public to enjoy! 

The waterslide had been closed for repairs for several months as a result of ground movement issues in the mechanical crawlspace affecting the pump that supplies water to the slide.  All necessary repairs have now been completed.

The City of Saskatoon sincerely thanks the public for their patience and understanding, and would like to invite everyone to enjoy free access to celebrate the reopening of the waterslide on Saturday, April 11, from 1 to 5 p.m.  During this time, no admission fee will be required to public swim, access the fitness or weight rooms, or take part in drop-in basketball.

For more information, call Lakewood Civic Centre at 306-975-2944 or visit www.saskatoon.ca/lakewood.

The City of Saskatoon (City) invites the public to an open house to view and comment on the proposed North Sector Plan, which will include Saskatoon’s future north industrial growth and employment area.

 The North Sector Plan will create a vision to facilitate economic development opportunities by expanding the north industrial growth and employment area.  In the future, the area will generate new employment possibilities; accommodate fully-serviced industrial, commercial, and business park developments; and potentially include provision for new recreation facilities.

 OPEN HOUSE:  North Sector Plan
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. – “Come and Go”
Bishop James Mahoney High School (Cafeteria)
231 Primrose Drive

 Presentation panels illustrating the proposed North Sector Plan vision will be shown and civic staff will be available to answer questions.  Feedback from the open house will be collected and considered in the development of the final North Sector Plan.

 If you are unable to attend the open house, please visit www.shapingsaskatoon.ca to review meeting information after the open house.  If you have questions or wish to provide comments, please call the City’s Planning and Development Division at 306‑975-7946 or email city.planning@saskatoon.ca.
