Taxi fares updated for larger vehicles
October 26, 2026 - 1:30pm
A new fare structure for larger taxis in Saskatoon takes effect October 26, 2026, replacing the van rate that had been in place for approximately 20 years.
Under the previous system, van taxis charged 1.5 times the standard taxi fare when transporting more passengers or luggage than a sedan taxi could accommodate. The charge was intended to help recover the additional costs associated with operating a larger vehicle.
Beginning October 26, the Large Vehicle Fare of $9.50 will apply whenever a larger taxi, defined as a taxi with third-row seating, is requested directly through dispatch for any reason, or is hailed curbside with five or more passengers. The new fare more accurately reflects the current operating and ownership costs of larger vehicles compared to sedan taxis.
The updated fare structure provides greater consistency and transparency for passengers while ensuring fares better align with the cost of providing larger vehicle service. For more information visit Saskatoon.ca/vfh.
Saskatoon Transit Route 10 detour starts October 26 as College Drive construction progresses
October 23, 2026 - 5:21pm
- Route 10: Detours via 14th Street and Preston Avenue
- Route 510: Temporary shuttle service between Cumberland Avenue and Place Riel via Cumberland Avenue, Osler Street, Wiggins Avenue, 14th Street and Preston Avenue
- Monday to Friday: 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Starting Monday, October 26, Saskatoon Transit will temporarily adjust Route 10 and implement Route 510 shuttle service as construction progresses along College Drive and Cumberland Avenue. During construction, Cumberland Avenue will not be accessible from College Drive, but pedestrian access along Cumberland Avenue and across College Drive will remain open.
Riders should anticipate delays during this work, as detours will be in place for approximately four to five weeks.
Transit service alerts and bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit. Trip planning apps will not show temporary detours for routes affected by College Drive construction, so riders are encouraged to plan ahead.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or 306.975.3100.

Update: Downtown water main project
October 23, 2026 - 4:31pm
- 5th Avenue and 25th Street: fully closed with the reopening anticipated on October 30.
- 6th Avenue and 25th Street: open to traffic, but with restrictions in place. One westbound lane is operating for traffic travelling from Spadina Crescent toward 6th Avenue, while the eastbound lane from 6th Avenue toward Spadina Crescent remains closed. The eastbound lane is anticipated to reopen on October 30.
The Downtown water main project on 25th Street continues to progress with the reopening of two more intersections this weekend.
3rd Avenue and 25th Street and 4th Avenue and 25th Street will fully reopen to traffic on Saturday, October 24, 2026, restoring more access through the area. 1st Avenue and 25th Street and 2nd Avenue and 25th Street are also open.
Ongoing intersection restrictions:
Access to businesses, residences and properties is being maintained wherever possible.
As intersections reopen, some lane restrictions may remain while crews complete restoration work. Final roadway resurfacing on 25th Street will take place following completion of the remaining construction work.
The final phase of the project will include a water main replacement on 25th Street between 6th Avenue and Spadina Crescent. This work is anticipated to be completed in 2027.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Update: Cumberland Avenue Closure Monday, October 26
October 23, 2026 - 4:00pm
Cumberland Avenue will close between College Drive and Elliott Street beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 26, for approximately four to five weeks. Two-way vehicle traffic (one lane each in east and west directions) will be maintained on College Drive through the Cumberland Avenue intersection during this closure. Pedestrians will also be able to cross College Drive at a temporary signalized crossing to be installed immediately east of the intersection.
The closure is required to relocate existing traffic signal poles throughout the intersection and install new curb along the north side of the road. This work is required to be complete to allow the north lanes to be open to traffic and will help prepare the College Drive for operations over the winter season, minimizing further closures in 2027.

Progress continues along College Drive corridor
October 21, 2026 - 4:14pm
Construction continues to progress on the College Drive corridor, with several improvements completed for motorists and pedestrians, and more work underway to prepare the area for winter.
Stage One of the Link construction project from the University Bridge to the Hospital Drive/University Drive intersection is now complete. Landscaping is undergoing final touches and traffic signal lights are being installed at the Hospital Drive/University Drive intersection, allowing for a signaled left turn into the hospitals planned for activation Thursday evening. Stage Two work from the Hospital Drive/University Drive intersection to Cumberland Avenue is also moving along with pedestrian walkways and westbound lanes (north lanes) undergoing final work and paving.
Clarence Avenue will be fully closed in both northbound and southbound directions between Colony Street and Aird Street beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 22 until 7:00 a.m. on Friday, October 23. The closure is required for emergency Priority 1 sewer replacement. Drivers are asked to use alternate routes and follow posted signage.
As part of the next phase of construction, Cumberland Avenue will close between College Drive and Elliott Street beginning 7:00 a.m. on Friday, October 23, for approximately four to five weeks as part of the ongoing construction.
The closure is required to rebuild the north curb to its new location and install new traffic signals at the intersection. This work will help prepare the corridor for operations over the winter season and minimize further closures in 2027.
During construction, Cumberland Avenue will not be accessible from College Drive, but pedestrian access along Cumberland Avenue will remain open. College Drive traffic will continue in both directions, with one lane in each direction. Traffic will initially use the south lanes between Hospital Drive/University Drive and just east of Cumberland Avenue. Once work on the north side is complete, traffic will shift to the north lanes while crews undertake construction on the south side of the intersection.
Existing traffic and pedestrian signals at the intersection will be deactivated. Temporary pedestrian signals will be installed just east of the intersection to maintain a crossing. Drivers and pedestrians are asked to follow posted signage and traffic and pedestrian signals and use caution in the area.
Cumberland Avenue is expected to reopen for the winter once construction is complete. Crews will continue working to advance the remaining corridor improvements and open two lanes of traffic on College Drive in each direction for the winter, where planned. For current road restrictions and construction updates, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.

City launches Commercial Energy Planner and Commercial Energy Loan Program to support building upgrades
October 21, 2026 - 7:30am
- Energy and emissions benchmarking
- Building performance reports
- Comparative insights and performance labels
- Guidance on opportunities to improve efficiency
- Support in developing retrofit plans and investment strategies
The City of Saskatoon is launching the Commercial Energy Planner (CEP) and the Commercial Energy Loan Program (loan program) to help affordable housing providers and owners of commercial, institutional, industrial and multi-unit residential buildings better understand the energy and water performance of their buildings, plan retrofits, and secure financing for qualifying upgrades.
Participants may use the Commercial Energy Planner independently or combine it with financing. Participation in the CEP is required to access the loan program.
Description
The Commercial Energy Planner provides energy and emissions benchmarking, building performance reporting, comparative insights and performance labeling, guidance on opportunities to improve efficiency and support in developing retrofit plans and investment strategies to help guide future investments in building upgrades and modernization. Participating in building owners gain access to information that can help identify cost-saving opportunities and plan future building improvements.
The loan program complements this support by providing eligible building owners with access to financing for energy and water efficiency upgrades, renewable energy installations, climate resiliency enhancements, and other approved building improvements.
Together, the programs provide participants with information, planning support and financing options to help reduce energy use, operating costs, and greenhouse gas emissions while improving the comfort, safety and long-term performance of their buildings.
"Buildings play a critical role in Saskatoon's climate goals and economic resilience," says Amber Weckworth, Climate Manager, Sustainability Department. "By helping building owners better understand how their buildings are performing and providing tools to support improvements, they can make informed investments that lower operating costs and create more comfortable, efficient spaces."
From understanding building performance to making retrofits a reality
The Commercial Energy Planner provides participating building owners with:
Financing building improvements
For owners ready to act on identified opportunities, the Commercial Energy Loan Program provides another tool, offering financing to support eligible energy efficiency and building upgrades.
"Many building operators want to improve their properties but don't know where to start," says Weckworth. "The Commercial Energy Planner can help owners understand their current performance and identify opportunities, while the loan program provides a financing option to help turn those plans into action."
Supporting Saskatoon's climate and economic goals
The Commercial Energy Planner is partially funded by the Government of Canada’s Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative. The Commercial Energy Loan Program is partially funded by a $500,000 grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund (GMF), funded by the Government of Canada. The initiative unlocks affordable, long-term financing for energy and water upgrades, helping building owners reduce emissions, improve performance, and advance Saskatoon’s transition to a low-carbon future.
“Saskatchewan communities know how important it is to plan — and build — for the future. With $450,000 in federal support through the Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative, these targeted programs will help property owners in Saskatoon make practical upgrades that save on energy costs and extend the life of their buildings.”
— The Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development
“Improving the energy performance of buildings is an important part of reducing emissions, lowering operating costs, and building stronger, more sustainable communities. With the federal government helping to support Saskatoon’s Commercial Energy Planner, we are working together to create healthier, more resilient, and economically secure communities.”
– The Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of Environment, Climate Change and Nature
“Municipalities play a critical role in building a more affordable, resilient, and sustainable future for Canadians. FCM, with the support of the Government of Canada, is proud to support the City of Saskatoon in exploring practical solutions that will increase building energy efficiency to reduce energy costs and emissions. This is an example of how FCM’s Green Municipal Fund is a proven federal-municipal delivery platform helping meet national goals in communities.”
– Tim Tierney, FCM President
The two programs are part of Saskatoon's efforts to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions and improve the performance of existing buildings. Commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings account for 61% of Saskatoon’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
By bringing building performance information, improvement planning and financing together, the City is helping building owners take a more informed approach to investments that can reduce energy costs, improve building performance and extend the useful life of existing properties.
Registration and applications now open
Eligible building owners can now register for the Commercial Energy Planner and apply for financing through the Commercial Energy Loan Program.
Commercial Energy Planner participants receive personalized support and resources throughout the benchmarking and reporting process, while building owners planning upgrades can explore whether their project qualifies for financing.

Building owners interested in the Commercial Energy Planner can visit saskatoon.ca/CEP for eligibility requirements and program details.

Reminder: residents invited to share input on City's future tax policy; survey open, community event November 4
October 20, 2026 - 9:26am
Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete an online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. Paper copies are available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. To request a survey by mail, email engagement@saskatoon.ca.The tax policy survey is open for public input until Friday, November 6, 2026.
What the tax policy engagement survey is about
This survey asks about one part of tax policy: how should the total municipal property tax requirement, set through the City’s budget process, be distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) properties?
The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next sets Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029. Historically, the City’s tax policy is reviewed by City Council every four years to align with Saskatchewan’s provincially legislated reassessment cycle. The survey also asks participants to identify their preferred ways to receive information about tax policy or assessment, and how the City’s tax policy can be more clearly communicated to residents.
The tax policy survey 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 tax policy information provided before completing the survey.
Prefer to talk about it in person? Plan to attend the tax policy information evening and community conversation
Residential property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are also invited to an information presentation and community conversation:
Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:00–8:00 p.m.
City Hall, 222-3rd Avenue North
Room confirmation closer to event
This tax policy engagement session will continue to focus on gathering public input about how the total municipal property tax requirement, as set through the City’s budget, should be distributed between residential and non-residential (commercial) property classes.
Attend to learn more about property tax policy at the City of Saskatoon, ask questions and share your perspective. While the session is intended to encourage participation from residential property owners and renters, all interested Saskatoon residents and stakeholders are welcome.
To register: email engagement@saskatoon.ca with the subject line Property Tax Policy Project 2026 Community Event.
Registration deadline: 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 2, 2026.
Public engagement results from earlier focus groups, the public survey and the November 4 in-person engagement event will be reported publicly as themes, differing perspectives and areas of uncertainty. The results will be shared in an Administrative What We Learned report to City Council in early 2027 and posted on the tax policy project page at Engage Saskatoon.
Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more about the City’s tax policy survey and to participate.

Saskatoon Transit tools to launch online reloading options October 20
October 19, 2026 - 1:18pm
Starting October 20, Saskatoon Transit customers will have more ways to manage their fares with Version 8 of the Transit Go app (TGo) and an updated online Rider Portal.
These updates build on the launch of reloadable smart cards, which brought mobile ticketing and physical smart cards together on a single fare platform. Beginning October 20, customers can download or update the Transit Go app or visit the online Rider Portal to purchase fares, reload smart cards, check balances, view purchase history and manage their accounts online for most standard fare products, without visiting a vendor or the Transit Customer Service Centre.
This modernization allows up to five smart cards to be linked to one account, making it easier to manage fares for family members or groups. The desktop portal will support printable ticket purchases. It also introduces an optional stored-value feature, allowing customers to add funds to their account, pay fares using a Tap & Ride barcode, and purchase or reload fare products using their balance.
Riders who already use mobile tickets can continue using them as usual. Participating vendors and the Transit Customer Service Centre also remain available. Cash will continue to be accepted on board.
Some fare products, including those requiring eligibility verification or entitlement renewal, may still require an in-person visit.
Creating a Justride account helps customers manage their linked cards and account information. If a linked smart card is lost, customers can contact the Transit Customer Service Centre to ask about cancelling the card and transferring eligible remaining value or fare products to a replacement.
For more information about the updates and available features, visit saskatoontransit.ca/mobile.
Have questions? Contact Transit Customer Service at 306.975.3100 or transit.services@saskatoon.ca.

- 3rd Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is closed and is expected to open October 23, 2026.
The Downtown water main project continues to progress on 25th Street E.
The 2nd Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection has fully reopened to traffic, and the 6th Avenue N and 25th Street E intersection is also open for westbound traffic, but with restrictions in place. Restoring access through the area as the project moves into its final phases.
Crews are continuing intersection excavation, restoration work and preparations for roadway resurfacing.
Current and upcoming intersection restrictions:
Access to businesses, residences and properties is being maintained wherever possible.
As intersections reopen, some lane restrictions may remain while crews complete restoration work. Final roadway resurfacing on 25th Street will take place following completion of the remaining construction work.
The final phase of the project will include a water main replacement on 25th Street between 6th Avenue and Spadina Crescent. This work is anticipated to be completed in 2026; however, it may extend into 2027 depending on construction progress and weather conditions.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Public engagement begins on Saskatoon Transit Bus Network Redesign
October 14, 2026 - 4:27pm
Saskatoon residents are invited to help shape the future of the city’s future transit network as Saskatoon Transit launches Phase II of the Bus Network Redesign public engagement process.
The Bus Network Redesign supports the future implementation of the Link Bus Rapid Transit network and explores how Saskatoon’s transit system can better serve a growing city through improved reliability, more direct routes and stronger transit connections. Residents are being asked to review and provide feedback on two conceptual transit network scenarios that reflect different approaches to balancing service coverage and ridership.
The engagement period runs until November 22, 2026, and includes an online survey and a series of open houses across Saskatoon seeking feedback on two conceptual plans. Residents can review the proposed concepts, ask questions of the project team and provide feedback on how the future transit network should evolve.
Feedback gathered during this phase will help Saskatoon Transit develop a recommended network design for future consideration. The conceptual plans are not final, and public input will play an important role in shaping the next phase of the project. Two additional projects are open for engagement alongside the Bus Network Redesign: a new design for bus stop signs and a proposed change to the Link Red line so it goes to Confederation Hub.
Open houses will be held throughout the city between October 19 and November 14, including locations at Rusty MacDonald Library, Centre Mall, Place Riel, Confederation Mall, City Hall, Cliff Wright Library and Saskatoon Sports Centre.
Residents can learn more, review project materials and complete the survey at Bus Network Redesign | Engage.

Downtown Event and Entertainment District: A Decade of Public Planning, Transparency and Progress
October 14, 2026 - 1:31pm
- 2018: Council directed Administration to plan for a future downtown arena, convention centre and entertainment district.
- 2021: Council confirmed the District and bus rapid transit (now known as Link) as City priorities and directed work on funding options, public engagement, Indigenous partnerships and sustainability.
- 2022: Following public engagement on site selection, Council selected the Midtown Shopping Centre north parking lot as the preferred site for a future event centre/arena.
- 2024: Council approved the District’s initial funding strategy, and Saskatoon’s City Centre and District Plan as a framework for future implementation.
- 2026: Council directed Administration to explore a potential strategic partnership with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation.
An information report presented today at the Governance and Priorities Committee meeting of City Council illustrates how the Downtown Event and Entertainment District (the District) has been considered through public Council processes for more than a decade.
The District is more than a future arena/event centre. It is a long-term vision for a vibrant, inclusive and welcoming downtown that would bring together entertainment venues, convention facilities, public spaces, cultural amenities, transportation connections and supporting infrastructure to create a destination for residents and visitors alike.
The discussions began in 2016 after the SaskTel Centre identified the facility was aging and facing increasing challenges in meeting industry expectations and remaining competitive in attracting major events. Since April 2016, nearly 50 public reports have been presented to City Council and the Governance and Priorities Committee.
“The work to date has been intensive,” says Dan Willems, Director of Technical Services. “It has included market analysis, public engagement, site selection, conceptual design, land assembly, funding analysis, planning and partnership development. We’ve been in front of Council many times over the last ten years as the project has moved forward to make sure the project has been considered through public and transparent discussions and decisions.”
Key Council decisions have included:
The District could include a renovated and expanded TCU Place and theatre, a future event centre to replace SaskTel Centre, parkade and improvements to streets, parks, utilities and public spaces.
The vision has been structured in a manner that allows portions of the project to move forward in phases due to physical site requirements and because funding is expected to be achieved in phases. The first phase is anticipated to include underground and public realm improvements, followed by TCU Place renovation/expansion including construction of more than 500 underground parking stalls; followed later by the construction of the event centre (SaskTel Centre replacement).
The City is working to secure funding from other orders of government and is exploring partnership opportunities. Detailed design and construction cannot proceed until a funding plan is approved by City Council.
Any future decisions related to funding, partnership agreements, project scope and construction will require further consideration and approval by City Council through public meetings.

Public invited to share input on the City of Saskatoon's future tax policy: survey now available
October 13, 2026 - 4:20pm
Starting Tuesday, October 13, Saskatoon residents, property owners, renters and interested stakeholders are invited to complete an online survey about the City’s future property tax policy. Paper copies are available for pickup in the lobby of City Hall. To request a survey by mail, email engagement@saskatoon.ca.The tax policy survey will be open for public input until Friday, November 6, 2026.
What the tax policy engagement survey is about
This survey is focused on one part of tax policy: how the total municipal property tax requirement, set through the City’s budget process, is distributed or shared between residential and non-residential (commercial) properties.
The survey seeks public input on the principles and trade-offs City Council should consider when it next sets Saskatoon’s property tax policy in 2029. Historically, the City’s tax policy is reviewed by City Council every four years to align with Saskatchewan’s provincially legislated reassessment cycle. The survey also asks participants to identify their preferred ways to receive information about tax policy or assessment, and how the City’s tax policy can be more clearly communicated to residents.
The tax policy survey 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 tax policy information provided before completing the survey.
Public invitation: Property tax policy information evening and community conversation
The City of Saskatoon also invites residential property owners, renters and interested stakeholders to attend an evening tax policy information presentation and community conversation on:
Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:00–8:00 p.m.
City Hall, 222-3rd Avenue North
Room confirmation closer to event
This tax policy engagement session will continue to focus on how the total municipal property tax requirement, as set through the City’s budget, is distributed between residential and non-residential property owners.
Attend to learn more about property tax policy, ask questions and share your perspective as the City develops its future property tax policy. While the session is intended to encourage participation from residential property owners and renters, all interested Saskatoon residents and stakeholders are welcome.
To register: email engagement@saskatoon.ca with the subject line Property Tax Policy Project 2026 Community Event.
Register before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026.
Public engagement results from earlier focus groups, the public survey and the November 4 in-person engagement event will be reported publicly as themes, differing perspectives and areas of uncertainty. The results will be shared in an Administrative What We Learned report to City Council in early 2027 and posted on the tax policy project page at Engage Saskatoon.
Visit engage.saskatoon.ca to learn more about the City’s tax policy survey and to participate.

Encampment removal safely progresses
October 8, 2026 - 4:21pm
- An estimated 120 unhoused individuals left the encampment site.
- Despite multiple and repeated efforts to offer supports, only 2 individuals accepted offers of support, including housing, shelter, transportation and other services.
- 80 total tents and temporary structures were removed.
- Approximately 5,622.24 kg of garbage and debris were cleared from the site and counting.
- The site will be fully fenced and secured within the next few hours.
The removal of the encampment at 20th Street and Avenue K South has progressed for most of the day and is nearing completion following a coordinated community response focused on safety, dignity and connecting individuals with available supports.
A news release earlier in the day details the coordinated community response.
As part of the response, as of this afternoon:
"This is a complex operation that required balancing compassion for individuals experiencing homelessness with the need to address serious safety concerns within the encampment and surrounding community," says Deputy Fire Chief Yvonne Raymer. "Our priority from the start of the process was an orderly transition off the site while helping people access safer alternatives and available supports."
The City and partner organizations undertook extensive outreach efforts throughout the removal process to help individuals transition to safer accommodations and connect them with resources.
The site closure represents an important step in addressing immediate safety concerns while supporting individuals toward more stable living situations.

Coordinated community approach, shelter options for encampment residents
October 8, 2026 - 10:02am
With the coordinated support of several community-based, Indigenous and provincial government organizations, the process of removing an encampment on private property at 20th Street and Avenue K South began this morning.
“Encampments are removed because they begin to become unsafe for both the residents living in them and the schools, services, businesses and neighbourhoods around them,” says Deputy Fire Chief Yvonne Raymer.
“Every agency involved in this has the same goal: to ensure people are safe and that they are living in a safe environment,” Raymer says. “We connect people to housing, shelter, health services and other supports as part of addressing the serious safety concerns at the encampment site.”
The partner agencies acknowledge this action is an emotional and complex issue and are determined to approach it with respect and compassion.
Our community has heard a lot of talk in the news and social media that encampments or “Tent Cities” are a reasonable solution to the shelter and housing crisis Saskatoon faces. A few seconds of video on a digital platform often does not tell the full story though.
Encampment sites can present significant fire, sanitation and public safety risks. Safety concerns increase as encampments grow. These concerns are clear and present at encampments and the risk is the same for 20th Street and Avenue K South.
“Since midnight October 5, we’ve been called to four fires at encampments,” Raymer says. “One destroyed a tent and spread to nearby trees in Optimist Park, another, just six hours later, spread to brush and trees in the same park and another in the backyard of a vacant property destroyed a makeshift shelter and damaged a fence and just last night one got out of control in a park off Idylwyld Drive.”
Other activities observed and documented at and very near the site include: possible gang activity, suspected domestic violence, assaults and open drug use.
Encampments where people are living outdoors without access to basic amenities and services are not a long-term housing solution, especially as the weather grows colder and potentially fatal. The City has an important role to play, but lasting solutions require coordinated action among governments, Indigenous organizations, housing providers and community agencies.
Tribal Chief Mark Arcand of the Saskatoon Tribal Council says encampments are too dangerous and he does not support them.
“At the Avenue K site, there’s too much violence and gang activity, including drugs and sex trafficking happening there, and it is spilling out onto our other programs.
“We offer supports at our outdoor washroom project just a block away; we have supportive housing just across the street and we have the Sawēyihtotān outreach program. Some relatives in the encampment had been seeking supports, but in the last few weeks, we have seen an escalation of violence throughout that neighbourhood and seen that relatives who had been interested in supports are now refusing them.
“The real solution is for people to access the supports they need, to get housing, addiction treatment, medical care, and connection to culture, in a safe environment. This won’t happen as long as they are at an encampment. Instead, the most vulnerable relatives will continue to be at risk from the activities occurring there and their cycle will continue.”
The Saskatoon Police Service stresses safety for everyone is top of mind.
“Our Service is committed to working with our partners to ensure we maintain peace and prevent violence,” says Saskatoon Police Chief Cameron McBride. “Officers are tasked with ensuring we assist in an orderly and peaceful transition for residents from the encampment.”
Partner agency supports are available: Before any site response, efforts are made to connect individuals with shelter, housing, transportation and other services.
Today, there are community organizations able to provide social service and sheltering opportunities for anyone at the encampment who wants them and transportation to connect people to these important supports. These organizations include: The Saskatoon Tribal Council - Sawēyihtotān, Central Urban Métis Federation Inc. (CUMFI), Salvation Army caseworkers and the Ministry of Social Services income assistance and housing case workers.
Ministry of Social Services staff will continue to connect with individuals to provide income supports and emergency shelter options. This includes referrals to available shelter spaces, friends and family, detox services or hotels if available shelter spaces did not meet their needs. They will also help make connections with other human service providers and community-based organizations providing services such as mental health and addictions and medical supports.
“We are concerned for the health and safety of everyone living in the encampment, particularly as winter approaches,” says CUMFI President Shirley Isbister.
“While the closure of an encampment is never the complete solution, I’m hopeful that this is an important step in connecting people to housing and supports.
“CUMFI is ready to assist through housing navigation, cultural supports and connections to services that can help them move toward greater stability. We want people to know there are supports available, and they do not have to navigate these challenges alone.”
To reiterate, removing an encampment alone does not solve homelessness. That's why the community response includes outreach, supports and ongoing collaboration with community partners.
While we recognize the challenges people face, we also have an obligation to address significant wider community safety risks and work toward safer, more sustainable alternatives.
