City Council directs Administration to provide more information for First Avenue Link rapid transit corridor
April 29, 2026 - 4:22pm
After considering an approval report on the First Avenue Link Corridor concept plan changes, City Council defeated the motion as presented. Council has now directed Administration to meet with the Saskatoon Accessibility Advisory Committee to review the accessibility plan. Council also directed the Administration to report back with broader operational considerations, including emergency response planning, emergency access and snow removal plans.
Once this information is received, Council will determine the next steps and will then direct Administration on how to proceed with the Link design on First Avenue.
In the meantime, work continues on the Link project elsewhere in the city, with the College Drive Link corridor and numerous station platforms throughout the city currently under construction. So far, 41station platforms are already built.
Meeting minutes and associated reports are available on the City of Saskatoon website. For more information on the Link rapid transit project, visit saskatoon.ca/link.

City crews tackling potholes with spring blitz
April 29, 2026 - 10:00am
With the last of the recent snowfall melting, the City of Saskatoon’s annual pothole blitz is underway, with crews now using hot mix asphalt to complete more permanent, longer-lasting repairs across the city.
Warmer temperatures allow for more durable pothole repairs, following temporary fixes completed during the winter months. Crews are focusing on high-traffic roads and priority areas first, before expanding into residential neighbourhoods.
Residents are encouraged to report potholes using the City’s Report a Pothole Map or by contacting the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 if the issue poses a safety risk.
Drivers are also reminded to slow down and watch for crews working on roadways. More information is available at saskatoon.ca/potholes.
City recognized for excellence, receives Canadian Award for Financial Reporting
April 28, 2026 - 4:15pm
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR) to the City of Saskatoon for its annual financial report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. This is the 18th time the City has received this award.
The GFOA presented the City with the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting in recognition of the City’s ability to present financial information in a clear, concise, educational and informative manner.
“We are proud to be recognized again by GFOA for strong financial reporting and our continued focus on clarity, accountability and transparency in presenting the overall year-end financial position of the City,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance. “Our Finance team works hard to meet GFOA high standards and present clear information so residents, taxpayers and stakeholders can better understand the City’s year-end position.”
To be awarded the CAnFR, a municipal government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such reports should go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and demonstrate an effort to clearly communicate the municipal government’s financial picture, enhance an understanding of financial reporting by municipal governments, and address user needs.
The CAnFR Program was established to encourage municipal governments across Canada to publish innovative financial reporting and to maintain a high standard of quality recognized amongst peers.
The attainment of this prestigious award represents a significant achievement by the City of Saskatoon and its financial management team.
