Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honour Survivors, their families and communities.

On Tuesday, September 30, the City of Saskatoon will adjust several civic services and hours of operation.

Residents and visitors to Saskatoon, please note: Parking payment will be required on Tuesday, September 30, in City-managed pay parking areas. Parking time limits also in effect.

On Tuesday, September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the City of Saskatoon encourages reflection, learning, and community care — and wishes everyone a safe and meaningful day.

Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025. In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will be flown at half-mast for the day.

Observed annually on the last Sunday in September, Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day honours the dedication, service and sacrifice of officers who work to keep Canadians safe.

Flags are lowered to half-mast to pay tribute to officers killed in the line of duty. Memorial services will also be held in communities across the country.

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.
