Reminder: Permit required for work near City trees
July 24, 2025 - 10:00am
- Pruning, removing or relocating a City tree
- Applying pesticides or harmful chemicals
- Interfering with a tree’s access to water, air or nutrients
- Removing protective barriers
- Carving into the bark or attaching items to the tree
- Placing lights or extension cords on a City tree during the winter months (October to March), provided they do not pose a hazard or harm the tree
- Minor landscaping such as hand digging or mowing
- Trees in back lanes
Trees on City property–such as boulevards, medians, parks and natural areas–are valuable assets and an integral part of Saskatoon’s urban forest. The City’s Tree Protection Bylaw is there to protect trees located on City property.
Residents and contractors are reminded that a Tree Permit is required for any construction, major landscaping or demolition work within six metres of a City tree. This includes placing heavy equipment or materials near a tree, unless they are on a paved surface like a driveway, street or path. Tree Permits are free and typically processed within four business days.
The Bylaw also prohibits several activities without prior approval from the City. These include but are not limited to:
A permit is not required in the following situations:
Not sure if there are City trees on your worksite? Use the Tree Inventory tool available on the Tree Permits webpage at saskatoon.ca/treepermits.

Federal funding will support community safety and homelessness data research in Saskatoon
July 24, 2025 - 7:00am
City agencies team up with a Wilfrid Laurier University researcher to build a data-sharing framework – the first of its kind in Canada – which will help develop better solutions for community safety and homelessness.
The City of Saskatoon, in partnership with the Saskatoon Police Service, the Saskatoon Fire Department, and Dr. Tarah Hodgkinson of Wilfrid Laurier University, have been awarded $200,000 in federal funding for a three-year Partnership Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
“All of our organizations and service providers are often serving the same individuals who receive supports throughout the community,” says Deputy Fire Chief Yvonne Raymer. “Despite significant overlap, data sharing restrictions can prevent us from being able to share important information with each other, reduce service overlap, and coordinate our efforts to help people in the most effective way.”
Deputy Police Chief Darren Pringle says the project will help the City, Police and Fire work better together, and with their partners.
“Data restriction can lead to inefficient service delivery, service duplication, and interfere with efforts that could lead to more sustainable solutions that improve quality of life for people experiencing homelessness as well as the broader community.”
Meanwhile, this project continues a productive cooperation with Wilfrid Laurier University.
“This project builds on a ten-year relationship the City of Saskatoon has with Dr. Hodgkinson,” says Lesley Anderson, Director of Planning and Development. “It also strengthens the coordinated community safety work among the City, Police, and Fire, who have been working together since 2022.”
The coordinated community safety work has been focused on improving data collection, planning, and communications to provide a more consistent approach in working with other community partners, orders of government, and the Saskatoon public.
“This project in Saskatoon will be the first of its kind in Canada to support integrated and data-driven municipal approaches to the issues of community safety and homelessness,” says Dr. Hodgkinson. “It has the potential to be transferable to other municipalities in Canada, to support secure and de-identified data-sharing, advance evidence-based crime prevention policies in other jurisdictions, and improve municipal service delivery across Canada.”
The project will also create essential long-term pathways for secure data sharing through a non-biased third party—Dr. Hodgkinson and the secure data centre located at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Centre for Research on Security Practices (CRSP).
