City to lower flags in recognition of National Day of Mourning
April 27, 2026 - 4:00pm
The National Day of Mourning is observed annually on April 28. In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will fly at half-mast for the day.
The National Day of Mourning was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991 and commemorates workers who have been killed, injured or suffered illness due to workplace-related hazards and incidents. It’s also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace and to preventing further injuries, illnesses and deaths.
The City of Saskatoon is committed to safety in all we do. The National Day of Mourning is an opportunity to create important awareness about workplace safety and our organization’s commitment to ensure every employee goes home safe and healthy at the end of every workday.

Crews cleaning up City streets following heavy snowfall
April 24, 2026 - 2:15pm
Following approximately 10 centimetres of snow accumulation, and with more in the forecast, a snow event has been declared. Contracted equipment and operators will be deployed to support City crews in maintaining safety and mobility on Saskatoon’s priority streets, including Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive, 22nd Street, 8th Street and College Drive.
Work will continue day and night, with crews balancing immediate safety priorities with efficient use of resources to maintain driving conditions across the city.
Residents should expect difficult travel conditions, including reduced traction due to icy surfaces beneath the snow, as well as reduced visibility and drifting. Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time and avoid unnecessary travel if conditions worsen.
Given the recent amount of snow accumulation, the Civic Operations Centre snow management facility is nearing capacity. It remains open but could be closed on short notice. Due to muddy conditions, the Wanuskewin and Central Avenue snow disposal sites are currently closed.
Drivers are reminded to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and give snow removal equipment the space required to operate safely.
More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
