The City has released its 2024 Report on Service, Savings, Sustainability (SSS). The SSS Report has been released annually since 2005 when City Council     directed Administration to prepare a yearly report on efficiencies implemented in the previous year. The report highlights the ways the City’s departments and teams worked together in the preceding year to:

• Capture savings and find efficiencies
• Enhance services for residents through creativity and innovation
• Make improvements in the area of sustainability

“This report highlights the work that our employees do every day to create better services and experiences for the residents of Saskatoon,” says Richard Phillips, the City’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “We are always looking to meet the needs of our growing and diverse community. This report  captures how our City employees, as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, have found innovative and creative ways to enhance service delivery, capture savings across the organization, and grow in a sustainable way in 2024.”

The report identifies over $5.4 million saved through cost savings, cost avoidance and reductions, with an additional $1.9 million in cost avoidance to come over the next three to five years.

The 2024 SSS Report is available at saskatoon.ca/SSSreport. As well, you will also find a video on this webpage that provides a preview of the full report, highlighting four of the stories featured in 2024.

The City of Saskatoon will begin mailing out over 100,000 property tax notices tomorrow, Wednesday, May 7. Property owners should expect their 2025 Property Tax Notice to arrive in the coming weeks. If you do not receive your tax notice by May 30, 2025, please call 306-975-2400.

Key Points:

• Your tax notice will arrive with a 2025 Property Tax Notice Guide to key information found on your notice.
• Various payment options are available, including the monthly Tax Instalment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS). Join the TIPPS program anytime.
• If you are already on TIPPS, the amount showing on your 2025 Property Tax notice is for information only.
• No late payment penalties will be incurred if you pay your full 2025 Property Tax amount due by the Monday, June 30, 2025, deadline. Non-receipt of your property tax notice does not exempt you from late payment penalties.

Tax-Phase-in Program

• Property owners will find a tax phase-in plan detailed for their property under Other Charges on Page 2 of the tax notice.
• City Council approved a tax phase-in plan for residential properties to evenly distribute the increase or decrease in property tax resulting from the 2025 Reassessment over two years at a rate of 50% per year.
• The phase-in plan for commercial and multi-residential properties spans four years and adjusts at a rate of 25% per year.
• Examples of how the tax-phase-in program works are included in the key information guide that will accompany tax notices.

Of the Total Property Tax Collected in 2025:

• 61% is kept by the City to invest in key civic services and programs including fire and police protection, transit, road maintenance, utility services, waste disposal and more.
• 6% goes to support the Saskatoon Public Library.
• 33% is collected and remitted to the Province of Saskatchewan for education; the City does not keep the education property tax.

Helpful Resource:

Property owners can enter their address in the Property Assessment & Tax Tool found at saskatoon.ca/taxtool to view a detailed breakdown of their municipal portion of 2025 Property Tax, historical property tax information, current and previous property assessed value and more.

Property’s Assessment & Property Tax:

All property types were reassessed in 2025 and will next be reassessed in 2029. Your property’s 2025 Assessed Value, shown on Page 1 of your property tax notice, is based on your property’s market value assessment as of January 1, 2023. This value provides the base for calculating your property tax for 2025 through to 2028. For more information and helpful videos, visit saskatoon.ca/assessment.

If you have property tax-related questions, please visit saskatoon.ca/propertytax, email revenue@saskatoon.ca or contact a Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400.

We’re here to help.

Saskatoon Transit will detour several routes starting Monday, May 12, 2025, due to the full closure of the Broadway Bridge for scheduled rehabilitation. The project, which is expected to continue for approximately six months, will also coincide with the start of construction for four new Link station platforms on Broadway Avenue as part of the upcoming rapid transit system.

Bus stops on Broadway Avenue, between 12th and 8th Streets, will be temporarily relocated to Victoria Avenue with new short-term signage. Two downtown stops on 19th Street near the Broadway Bridge will also close. Closed bus stops will direct riders to nearby stops for eastbound or westbound travel.

Saskatoon Transit routes to and from downtown will use Victoria Avenue and the Traffic Bridge.

• Westbound Service: Routes 8 and the Oskāyak High School Route.
• Eastbound Service: Routes 81, 82, 84, 86.

As a reminder, the four temporary stops on Victoria Avenue will have parking restrictions limited to the areas necessary for bus stop placement, approximately 25 meters per stop.

Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.      

If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Saskatoon Transit customer service team at transit.services@saskatoon.ca or 306.975.3100.

We thank our customers for their patience and cooperation through these service interruptions.

Saskatoon Transit contracted the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) through the National Planning Service for the Government of Canada’s Zero Emission Transit Fund, to create a comprehensive Zero Emissions Bus (ZEB) Implementation Plan. The plan assessed Saskatoon Transit's readiness to transition to a fully zero emission bus fleet.

The study considers economic, technological, social and environmental benefits, risks and constraints of investing in zero emission buses and supporting infrastructure in Saskatoon using three scenarios: full battery electric bus (BEB) fleet, full hydrogen fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) fleet and a fleet with a mix of both.

Both battery electric and hydrogen-powered buses rely significantly on the power grid for charging or fuel production. Saskatchewan power plants use fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas to generate electricity, which emit greenhouse gases and offset the benefits of reduced tailpipe emissions from zero emission buses.

Financial cost is also a significant factor, as the total life cycle cost (15 years) of a fleet of 100% FCEBs would cost $1.1 billion using current prices and $18.2 million for facility retrofits. A fleet of 100% BEBs would have a total life cycle cost (15 years) of $479.2 million and require $47.7 million in facility costs and on-route charging infrastructure.

“The data and analysis in the zero emissions bus study provide a roadmap for Saskatoon Transit to follow when power is generated by a higher proportion of renewable energy sources in Saskatchewan,” says Mike Moellenbeck, Director of Saskatoon Transit. “Saskatoon Transit will continue to monitor advancements in technology, funding programs and changes in the power grid to transition to ZEBs when it is feasible.”

"Transit decarbonization is a critical pathway to the reduction of emissions at the municipal level. But based on the carbon intensity of provincial grids, electrification is not always a slam dunk because of pollution from electrical grids,” says Josipa Petrunic, President and CEO of CUTRIC. “As the provincial grid system decarbonizes in upcoming decades, electrification will become a more viable option for cities like Saskatoon as they transition away from fossil fuels."

A new Transit fleet renewal strategy for annual diesel bus purchases will be presented to City Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Transportation (SPCT) for consideration in June.

For more information, please refer to the Full-Fleet Zero Emission Bus Implementation Plan - CUTRIC Report on the agenda for today's SPCT meeting.

Starting May 7, 2025, residents can drop off their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) every Wednesday at the Material Recovery Centre.

The weekly collection program makes it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.

HHW will be accepted every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Material Recovery Centre, located at 42 Valley Road.

The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reminders:

• The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
• Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to the participants.
• Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and clearly labelled.
• To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal.

Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place.

An employment program designed to make community safety and well-being improvements is underway in Saskatoon. 

To acknowledge the launch of the Saskatoon Wellbeing Employment Enterprise Program (SWEEP) and in preparation for Red Dress Day on May 5, a smudging ceremony had taken place this morning to coincide with the cleaning and maintenance of the Red Star Dancer monument located outside the Saskatoon Police Service headquarters.

The monument, known as "Wicanhi Duta Win” (Red Star Woman), is a sculpture that honours missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. To go about the cleaning of the monument in a good way, an all-female SWEEP team had tasked with the cleaning.

SWEEP is a collaborative initiative between the City and Quint Development Corporation (Quint), funded by Public Safety Canada’s Building Safer Communities Fund (BSCF). The program goal intends to enhance community safety and well-being through the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). By focusing on environmental improvements, SWEEP aims to reduce crime and foster a sense of security within neighbourhoods. The pilot program will run until March 2026.

“SWEEP is a testament to the City's commitment to fostering an inclusive and safe community. By collaborating with the community, we can support residents by creating jobs that might not otherwise exist due to barriers and past experiences. This allows us to build a stronger and safer Saskatoon while also enhancing community safety and well-being,” says Tenille Thomson, Community Development Manager. “The cleaning of the Red Star Dancer monument is just one example of the great work performed by SWEEP's crews and represents the many successes that have emerged out of this program."

The program, operated by Quint, provides employment opportunities for community members who are leaving a correctional life or who may face significant barriers to workforce entry. Individuals have a chance to rebuild their lives through stable employment, which is complemented by comprehensive support services. SWEEP crew members receive life-skills training and wraparound support, including assistance with housing, family reconnection and navigating parole. This holistic approach ensures that participants are well-equipped to reintegrate into society and contribute positively to their communities.

“SWEEP is a unique social enterprise that addresses unjust social and economic barriers and embodies our organization's mission. The program stacks positive outcomes, both revitalizing our neighbourhoods and empowering participants to transform their lives. In less than a year, we have already seen the remarkable impact SWEEP has had not only on our participants but also the community at large,” says Kristen Thoms, Executive Director, Quint Development Corp.

SWEEP’s services are dedicated to tasks that improve overall public safety, cleanliness and community wellbeing. Examples of work performed by SWEEP crews include:

• Trash removal and diversion
• Graffiti maintenance
• Biological waste removal
• Additional supports to City operations

Those who are interested in hiring a SWEEP crew can do so by contacting Quint at info@quintsaskatoon.ca.

The City of Saskatoon and Iskwewuk E-wichiwitochik (Women Walking Together) invite families and community members to join them in recognizing Red Dress Day on May 5—the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit+ People. The day aims to honour, and to broaden and sharpen societal awareness of the thousands of Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people who have experienced disproportionate violence in Canada. This year's events include a focus on the prevention of future violence against these groups in our community.

The day will begin with a Knowledge Sharing event at Cosmo Civic Centre, featuring information booths focused on raising awareness of safety, domestic violence, human trafficking and its risk factors, and current community supports. The goal of the Knowledge Sharing is to build capacity within the community to prevent and ultimately eliminate the risk that Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit+ individuals face in everyday life. Community members can register for a session on Training Active Bystanders, where they will gain tools for responsible intervention and supporting those in need while avoiding complicity through inaction.

The Red Dress Day Walk will follow the Knowledge Sharing. The walk was started three years ago in Saskatoon by Faith Bosse, daughter of Daleen Bosse, a 25-year-old University of Saskatchewan student, wife, and mother, who disappeared in 2004 and was later found murdered. Faith explains, “As the daughter of a missing and murdered Indigenous woman, hosting this walk is important to me, and being her voice, as well as the voice of other women and girls, who are still missing or have been taken away from their families. My main goal is to get the message out to our community and also educate them about the dangers we as Indigenous women face every day.”

Darlene Okemaysim-Sicotte is a 20 plus year member and co-chair of Iskwewuk E-wichiwitochik (Women Walking Together), one of the partner organizations for Red Dress Day. Darlene affirms, "Red Dress Day is for families of MMIWG 2SLGBTQQIA to share their love about their missing loved ones. Nothing about us without us."

Other partners coming together to host Red Dress Day include the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), Métis Nation—Saskatchewan, the City of Saskatoon, Central Urban Métis Federation Inc., University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Police Service, and Family Information Liaison Units (Department of Justice, Government of Canada). Financial support for the event comes from the Government of Saskatchewan’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls+ Community Response Fund.

2025 is going to be an exciting year as the Link rapid transit project drives forward, according to reports going forward to the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation on May 6, 2025. The reports outline the concept plan of Link along College Drive, as well as a construction update for 2025. This builds on the numerous come-and-go events the project team held in March and marks a major milestone in the project as construction moves forward toward a goal of a 2028 service launch.

“The College Drive section of the Link route is incredibly important, as it will move a large number of people from, to and through the area,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “We are also pleased to share that we will be building 44 Link station platforms across the city in 2025, a major addition to the six platforms that were built in 2024. The rest of the platforms, as well as the building of shelters, information displays and other furniture will come online over the next few years with system launch planned for 2028.”

Link rapid transit routing, including dedicated bus lanes on College Drive and 1^st Avenue, was approved by City Council in April 2019 and work has continued since through technical design and engagement with the public. 2025 construction work is anticipated to start in mid-May and will continue through to mid-October. Construction of corridor improvements on College Drive is planned to commence in 2026.

“More than 73 per cent of the cost of Link is being covered by partnerships with the Province of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada,” says Schmidt. “Once service is launched it will move people across the city more sustainably and efficiently and will change the way transit works in Saskatoon.”

For more information on the project please visit saskatoon.ca/link.
