News Releases

The City of Saskatoon’s tax policy survey has been extended to Sunday, November 15. 

Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete the online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. 

Complete the survey before the deadline to share your perspective. Paper copies are also available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. 

What the survey is about

This survey focuses on one part of tax policy: how the City’s total municipal property tax requirement, set through the budget process, is shared or distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) property classes.

The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next reviews Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029. The City’s tax policy is typically reviewed every four years to align with Saskatchewan’s provincially legislated reassessment cycle.

The survey also asks participants how they prefer to receive information about tax policy and property assessment, and how the City can communicate tax policy more clearly.

This engagement is not intended to measure support for a specific decision or outcome. There are no right or wrong answers to the opinion questions. Residents are encouraged to review the background information before completing the survey.

Reporting back

Results from the tax policy focus groups, public survey, dedicated letters and emails received and the November 4 in-person session will be reported publicly as key themes, differing perspectives and areas of uncertainty. A What We Learned report will be shared with City Council in early 2027 and posted on the tax policy project page on Engage Saskatoon.

City Council wants to hear from Saskatoon residents. Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more and to complete the survey.

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

25th Street East has reopened to traffic following a significant water main rehabilitation project that had been underway over the past several months, as well as associated paving and patching work.

The entire 25th Street corridor is now open to traffic from 1st Avenue to University Bridge. Drivers can expect some lane closures over the next few weeks as crews complete median restoration work.

The final phase of the project is anticipated to be completed in 2027.

While 25th Street has reopened, drivers are reminded that only one lane in each direction remains in place on the east side of University Bridge, where construction and traffic restrictions continue along College Drive.

Thank you to residents, businesses and road users for your patience while this important infrastructure work was underway.

The City of Saskatoon invites residents to view the Books of Remembrance, on display until Friday, November 20 in the front lobby of Civic Square East ( where City Archives is located) and the City Archives Reading Room at 202 4th Avenue North. 

Residents can visit Monday to Friday 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM., excluding Remembrance Day.

Compiled and donated to the City by the Military Institute of Saskatoon, an association of former and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP, the commemorative books include biographies of Saskatoon residents who served in the First World War, Second World War, Korean War, Afghan War and peacetime operations.

The Books of Remembrance were formally presented to the City on October 22, 2018. They are permanently housed at the City of Saskatoon Archives, with copies also available at local libraries.

Residents are encouraged to take part in this meaningful commemoration and reflect on the sacrifices made in service to Canada.
