Saskatoon Transit has partnered with the Saskatoon EX to offer free bus service for SuperPass holders to Prairieland Park from July 30 to August 6. Riders looking to take Saskatoon Transit or Access Transit buses simply need to show the bus operator their SuperPass or wristband when boarding.
As a bonus, older adults (65+) ride free on Thursday, August 6, without a SuperPass and children Grade 8 and under ride for free year-round.
Customers are encouraged to use real-time apps to plan trips to Prairieland Park on Route 1 or Route 19 using the Transit app or Google Maps Transit.
To accommodate travel post-event outside of Saskatoon Transit’s regular service on Sunday, August 2, and holiday Monday, August 3, after 10 p.m., three special routes from the Exhibition loop on Lorne Avenue have been added on both days. Trip planning after 10 p.m. on August 2 and August 3 will not be available on the apps, so riders are encouraged to plan ahead. Regular fares apply to those without a SuperPass.
Access Transit will pick up and drop off passengers at the Exhibition loop at Ruth Street and St Patrick Avenue.
Skip the parking fees and traffic jams by riding with Saskatoon Transit. For more information, visit saskatoontransit.ca.
City of Saskatoon modernizes online public engagement experience
July 28, 2026 - 11:00am
Residents can now more easily share their feedback on City projects and initiatives with the launch of a modernized Engage Saskatoon webpage. The upgraded page makes it simple to explore current engagement projects, stay informed and provide feedback on initiatives that matter the most to you.
"We're excited to launch a modern platform that makes it easier for people to discover and connect with City projects and share their perspectives," says Carla Blumers, Director of Communications and Public Engagement. "Public feedback plays an important role in shaping City programs and initiatives, and this new online hub creates more opportunities for residents to provide their input.
Designed with users in mind, the new Engage Saskatoon webpage offers a streamlined experience and allows the City to provide a variety of ways to participate, ranging from surveys, discussion forums, interactive maps and polls. Community members who choose to create an account can follow projects that interest them, receive updates and personalize their engagement experience, making it easier to stay connected to City initiatives and opportunities for public input.
A new Development Applications Hub also brings together engagement opportunities on land use and development applications in one convenient location, making it easier for residents to find information and share feedback.
Engage Saskatoon is designed to be both approachable, accessible and easy to use, supporting the City's commitment to meaningful public participation on civic matters.
"Whether you live, work or play in Saskatoon, you’re invited to create an account, explore current opportunities and help shape the future of our city," Blumers says.
