Starting Tuesday, September 1, 2015, crews will begin pruning trees on civic property in the Nutana (Central and North) neighbourhood and Confederation Park neighbourhood as part of the City of Saskatoon’s (City) overall boulevard tree maintenance program.

The boulevard tree maintenance program follows a regular pruning cycle to help preserve the health and appearance of the City’s boulevard and park tree inventory.  Removing dead wood from elm trees is an important part of preventing the spread of Dutch elm disease.  Maintenance crews will remove any broken, dead, weak, and diseased branches.  Keeping sidewalks and roads free of any hazards, crews will also remove any tree parts that are obstructing pedestrian or vehicle traffic and maintain appropriate clearances from buildings, signs, and streetlights.  Tree maintenance operations in these two neighbourhoods will continue until the middle of December.

Tree maintenance often requires road restrictions.  The City reminds pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers to ensure that safety is a priority by respecting the work zone appropriately and obeying all road restrictions and signage.

Brown bears, Koda and Mistaya, are turning 10!  Join us as we celebrate their birthday on Friday, August 28, 2015, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the brown bear enclosure in the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo.

Zookeepers have planned a special picnic lunch for the bears on their big day and there will be "cub" cakes provided to children (first-come, first-served).

The Saskatoon Zoo Society will also be hosting “investigation stations” to learn more about these animals along with face painting and a photo booth for children, so bring your camera!

The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo and the Saskatoon Zoo Society welcome everyone to enjoy the birthday celebration, free with the purchase of regular Zoo admission.

Donations will be accepted and put toward the purchase of equipment that will enhance the bears’ enclosure.  Also, for every $40 of brown bear “Adopt-a-Critter” purchased on August 28, 2015, $10 will be donated toward new equipment.
