City of Saskatoon (City) crews have begun annual winterization of the 409 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks.  Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure.

Irrigation system winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation pipes, removing any residual water so it will not freeze in the pipes.  The City requests that the public respect and follow all signage at worksites.  The force of the air through the pipes shoots water out from the sprinkler heads at a high pressure and may pick up debris during this process.

To ensure public safety, residents are asked to please stay clear of all sprinkler heads and related winterization equipment during maintenance.

The winterization process is expected to take six weeks.

The City of Saskatoon (City) invites the public to view the new neighbourhood mural in Nutana, under the east end of the Broadway Bridge, and meet the artist who created it.

Entitled “Community Garden,” the artwork is a wheat paste mural created by local artist, Laura Hosaluk, in collaboration with Nutana residents, the Nutana Community Association, and the Broadway Business Improvement District.  As described by the artist, the mural represents the vibrant growth that the Nutana neighbourhood inspires.

MEET THE ARTIST:  Nutana Wheat Paste Mural
Saturday, September 5, 2015
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. – “Come and Go”
Under the east end of the Broadway Bridge
(best access is from the 600 block of Saskatchewan Crescent East)

"Community Garden” is the result of recommendations from two City-led initiatives:

• The Nutana Safety Audit Final Report recommended adding mural artwork created by local artists to foster a long-term community and a cooperative approach to safety and security, to discourage graffiti vandalism; and
• The Nutana Local Area Plan (LAP) included reducing the physical opportunity of crime using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principals.

For more information on the Nutana LAP, please visit www.saskatoon.ca/lap.
