A severe thunderstorm rolled over Saskatoon and area overnight July 8 and into the early morning of July 9. The storm downed tree limbs causing power outages, creating obstacles and debris in streets, alleys, parks and open areas. 

City crews have been hard at work since the early hours of the morning to get Saskatoon moving around.

Saskatoon Light & Power

Saskatoon Light & Power continues to address widespread power outages affecting customers across the city. Over 100 power workers are actively assessing damage, identifying affected areas and carrying out repairs as quickly and safely as possible. 

The latest updates are available on the Saskatoon Light & Power Outage Map by visiting saskatoon.ca/outages and also saskatoon.ca/servicealerts. 

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as our teams work to safely restore service across Saskatoon and display the most up-to-date information on the Outage Map. To report an outage, please contact Saskatoon Light & Power at 306-975-2414 (24/7 hotline). 

Saskatoon Fire Department

The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) dispatched and monitored 34 incidents over a 90-minute period overnight for fire crews to respond to.

The SFD Communications Centre also dispatched and monitored multiple rural fire department responses for cities of Warman, Martensville and the Towns of Osler and Dalmeny. 

Fire crews responded to multiple electrical hazards of downed and arcing power lines which caused several small fires.

Roadways & Transportation

Roadways crews are actively clearing lanes, roads and catch basins of storm debris, including branches, leaves and other materials, to help maintain safe travel conditions and proper drainage.

Residents are encouraged to use caution during their commute, particularly at intersections where traffic signals still may be without power. Treat all non-functioning traffic lights as four-way stops and watch for crews working near roadways. Additionally, crews are addressing any street signs that were blown down and traffic signals facing the wrong direction.

Waste Collection

Some waste carts may have blown over. If your cart was missed because it was blown over at the time of collection, crews will not be returning for a second pickup. Please ensure your cart is placed upright and accessible for collection on your scheduled pickup day.

Parks

Parks crews are currently responding to high-priority tree hazards, including clearing fallen trees obstructing roadways and removing hanging branches that pose an immediate safety risk. Given the significant number of locations requiring attention, branch pickup and debris removal will take several days to complete. We appreciate the public’s patience as crews work through all reported sites and continue cleanup efforts across the city.

Customer Care Centre

If there are any essential services that require attention causing safety concerns, please contact the Service Saskatoon 24/7 Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Please note that the Customer Care Centre is experiencing a high volume of calls as a result of last night’s storm and are focusing on providing support to safety and essential services.

A Saskatoon Court has imposed a $7,000 penalty on a business convicted of unlawfully selling bear spray and failing to record the information of the buyer. The total fine, which includes a $2,000 victim surcharge pursuant to The Victims of Crime Act, is $1,500 for unlawfully selling the bear spray and $3,500 for failing to record the buyer’s information.

The decision, made in Saskatoon Bylaw Court June 30, was the first fine issued by the Court under the City’s updated Business Licence Bylaw. Earlier this year, with help from officials in the City Community Standards Department, the Saskatoon Police Service accused a business operating in the 500 block of 20^th Street, West of breaking the Bylaw.

“One of the primary goals of the bylaw changes is deterrence,” says Mark Wilson, City of Saskatoon Licensing and Permitting Manager. “Since City Council made the amendments to the bylaw, we’ve subsequently heard from multiple retailers who have decided to stop selling bear spray.”

City Council passed the amendments a year ago. They require a purchaser to be at least 18-years-old and provide two pieces of government-issued identification. The name, ID number, date of birth and address of the purchaser must be recorded by the business and made available to the City.

The bear spray must be stored in a secure area, out of view of customers and only products containing the manufacturer’s serial number may be sold.

“Businesses that choose to sell bear spray have a responsibility to do so in accordance with the amendments to the Business License Bylaw. When violations are identified, enforcement helps maintain the integrity of those regulations and supports the collective efforts of police, the City, retailers and the community,” says Doug McNeil, Inspector in charge of the Saskatoon Police Service Community Engagement Division.

“We support measures that promote responsible sales and help reduce opportunities for misuse. Compliance with the bylaw is an important part of a broader community effort to improve public safety.”

Wildlife control products, commonly referred to as bear spray, are designed to repel wildlife through spraying pressurized liquid containing oil made from hot peppers. It causes burning eyes, strained breathing as well as nasal and throat irritation.

The product is not intended for use on humans or in an urban setting.

Police officers and City officials have engaged business managers to ensure they understand the bylaw requirements which have received wide support.

There is now one more reason to visit the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park with the opening of a new nine-hole disc golf course.

“We’re excited to add disc golf to the experiences available at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park,” said Jeff Mitchell, manager of the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. “It’s a great way to get active outdoors, enjoy the park and try something new. We invite everyone to come out and give the course a try.”

Players of all skill levels are welcome to bring their discs and enjoy the course while visiting the park. The course begins east of the fishing pond and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required.

The Forestry Farm Park is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The City is aware the increased river flow has damaged the safety buoys between the University Bridge and the weir. The safety buoys have been dislodged and are no longer in place; however, the City is making efforts to have the buoys safely reinstalled as soon as possible.

The public is strongly warned against all recreational activities on the river, including boating, paddling, swimming, floating, fishing from the shoreline and other water-based activities.

The public is also advised to avoid approaching the river’s edge, as fast-moving water, unstable banks and submerged hazards can create dangerous situations. Pets should also be kept at a safe distance from the river.

The public boat launches beneath the Broadway Bridge and River Access points in the Meewasin Valley are closed. River safety devices have been monitored regularly during high-flow conditions.

If you witness someone in distress in the river:

• Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
• Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
• Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.

If you are in distress in the river:

• Stay calm.
• Keep your head above the water.
• Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
• Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.

Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Residents are strongly warned against all recreational activities on the river, including boating, paddling, swimming, floating, fishing from the shoreline and other water-based activities. The public is also advised to avoid approaching the river’s edge, as fast-moving water, unstable banks and submerged hazards can create dangerous situations. Pets should also be kept at a safe distance from the River.

The public boat launch beneath the Broadway Bridge and River Access points in the Meewasin Valley will be closed. River safety devices will be monitored regularly during high-flow conditions.

If you witness someone in distress in the river:

• Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
• Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
• Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.

If you are in distress in the river:

• Stay calm.
• Keep your head above the water.
• Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
• Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.

Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Additional Information

Over the past week, the South Saskatchewan River Basin headwaters received significant precipitation, with observed rainfall amounts generally higher than previously forecast.

This means more water is on the way into Lake Diefenbaker and downstream through Saskatoon.

The Water Security Agency advises river flows are expected to increase from the already elevated present rate of approximately 270 cubic metres per second (m³/s) increasing to approximately 770 m³/s by Monday July 6.

This flow rate is higher than what was experienced last month and are expected well into next week.

The South Saskatchewan River is very unpredictable. Aside from the changing, dangerously fast currents and unstable bottom, the river will have many additional hazards right now such as fallen branches, hidden material like broken concrete and floating debris that will pose a threat to anyone in or near the water.

Saskatoon Water 
Saskatoon Water is prepared for the greater flows. While expecting more sediment and cloudiness in the river, processes are in place to handle extra clarification that may be needed. Water service is not expected to be impacted by the rising river levels.

Bridges 
The rising and faster flowing water is not expected to pose any threat to bridges nor cause any significant challenges for construction projects. The City’s Asset Preservation team continues to talk with contractors working on both the Broadway Bridge and the University Bridge to ensure their staff remain safe.

Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River
As mentioned, Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits.

View weir from a safe distance 
The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that can trap objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from designated areas along Spadina Crescent East.

Due to recent heavy rainfall and weather events throughout the month of June and forecasted rain for the remainder of this week, construction on College Drive is experiencing delays. Opening the University Bridge and College Drive corridor to two lanes of traffic – one lane in each direction – is now expected in mid- to late July, subject to favourable weather and construction conditions.

Emergency services vehicle access to the hospitals will be maintained across University Bridge throughout construction. Pedestrian access also remains in place.

The City is continuing to work with the contractor to finalize plans for upcoming stages of construction along College Drive. Additional information will be shared as details are confirmed.

The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as these essential infrastructure projects continue.

Enjoy Canada Day celebrations without the stress of traffic and parking by taking Saskatoon Transit. Customers are also reminded that new fare adjustments for 2026 take effect on July 1.

Fixed-route service will run holiday hours until 9 p.m. on Canada Day. After the fireworks, free bus service will depart from two locations:

• South of river: Victoria Avenue and 11th Street

Access Transit will run holiday hours until 11 p.m. Per normal booking procedures, trips must be booked in advance, and subscriptions do not apply on statutory holidays. All Access Transit pickups and drop-offs for Canada Day events downtown will be at the temporary stop on 19th Street and 2nd Avenue near the Nutrien Tower.

Customers are encouraged to use real-time apps like Transit or Google Maps Transit to plan their trips on July 1.

The Saskatoon Fire Department would like to remind residents and visitors of safe practices for purchasing, enjoying and disposing of fireworks. This Canada Day, low-hazard fireworks are permitted on private property between dusk and 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1.

Low-hazard fireworks are designed for public recreational use. These fireworks travel less than 50m (160ft) high and include items such as roman candles, sparklers, fountains, wheels, volcanoes, mines and snakes.

High-hazard fireworks are designed for professionals and can only be purchased by persons holding a valid Fireworks Supervisor – Level I or Level II card issued by Natural Resources Canada.

Residents and spectators are reminded of the risks and obligations associated with fireworks:

• Carefully read and follow the manufacturer instructions.
• Exercise increased caution when handling and discharging any type of firework.
• Choose your location wisely. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property.
• Familiarize yourself with the space requirements for the type of firework being discharged. Requirements vary depending on the firework type.
• Ensure your location is free of overhead obstructions, is clear side-to-side and is a safe distance from combustible materials.
• Ensure that it is not windy and that all spectators are safely located to observe the display.
• Be sure to properly stabilize the firework according to manufacturer direction.
• Other than sparklers, never light or hold a lit firework in your hand.
• Always light the fuse at its tip.
• Never try to relight or fix the fuse on fireworks that did not go off.
• Have a supply of water available and use it to extinguish debris or smouldering embers before they cause injuries, property damage and/or fires.
• Keep in mind that you are solely responsible for any debris that may land on spectators or another’s property.

The Saskatoon Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable Canada Day!

The Saskatoon Fire Department urges the public to remain cautious for the next week around the South Saskatchewan River.

Even though river levels and flow rates have and will be declining to more typical levels in the following week, there is the potential that conditions could change rapidly.

Recreational activities may resume in a more typical fashion -- keeping safety top of mind.

The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency says releases from lake Diefenbaker will remain at 160 m³/s until the end of next week, subject to review early next week. Based on power production requirements, flows at Saskatoon may fluctuate on a daily basis.

The Water Security Agency issued an Advisory Wednesday for the North Saskatchewan River and Saskatchewan River systems. It does not include the South Saskatchewan River through Saskatoon.

The Fire Department again stresses that while the river may provide a tempting option to cool down on hot days, the South Saskatchewan is unpredictable. Aside from the changing currents and unstable bottom, it may still have many additional hazards right now such as fallen branches, hidden material and floating debris that will pose a threat to anyone in or near the water.

Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River
Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits.

View weir from a safe distance 
The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that can trap objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from designated areas along Spadina Crescent East.

Pet safety 
Just as the river may pose risks to humans, it is also risky for pets. Pet owners are reminded to keep a close watch on their pets – especially in off-leash areas where they could get into the river.

Water rescue tips 
If you witness someone in distress in the river:

• Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
• Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
• Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.

If you are in distress in the river:

• Stay calm.
• Keep your head above the water.
• Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
• Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.

Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

A man has been fined a total of $11,200 for damaging the Circle Drive overpass earlier this year at Highways #11 and #16.

It happened March 5, when a semi-trailer flatbed on Highway 11 was hauling a large, tracked excavator and struck the cloverleaf overpass for Highway 16. The impact sheared off the top part of the excavator and caused significant damage to the outer edge of the overhead structure.

In Bylaw Court Wednesday, June 24, the truck driver pleaded guilty to damaging City infrastructure under The Traffic Bylaw. The Court accepted a joint submission from the City Bylaw Prosecutor and the driver in which the driver would pay a fine of $8,000 plus a victim surcharge of $3,200.

Under the Bylaw, the maximum fine for an individual is $10,000. The court granted the driver 18-months to pay the $11,200.

A Traffic Bylaw charge against Regina-based Bowline Logistics, the corporation which owns the vehicle, is adjourned for plea until July 8.

The City has subsequently submitted a claim to Bowline's and the driver’s insurer and is awaiting a reply to recover the overpass repair costs.

City Council has directed Administration to start negotiations with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation to explore a strategic partnership toward the development of the Downtown Event and Entertainment District.

Council provided the direction at its June 24 Regular Business City Council meeting, following consideration of a report outlining the opportunity. Council’s decision does not approve a final agreement. It authorizes Administration to begin direct negotiations toward a potential development partnership.

“Great cities are built through strong partnerships and a willingness to think differently about the future. By authorizing these discussions, Council is creating the opportunity to explore a unique partnership with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and what that partnership could mean for both communities,” says Mayor Cynthia Block.

“This is an important first step, not a final decision. The goal of these discussions is to determine whether there is a path forward that delivers mutual benefit, creates new opportunities, and reflects the shared ambitions of Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and the City of Saskatoon.”

“We are encouraged that Saskatoon City Council has accepted the Administration report and supported beginning discussions with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation regarding a potential partnership in the Downtown Event and Entertainment District,” says Muskeg Lake Cree Nation Chief Kelly Wolfe. “This is an important first step, but it is still an early step. There is significant work ahead, and any potential agreement will need to be carefully considered and approved by both Councils.”

“Muskeg Lake has a long-standing and meaningful relationship with the City of Saskatoon. In 1988, our Nation established Asimakaniseekan Askiy, which translates to ‘Soldiers’ Land,’ as Canada’s first commercial urban reserve. Through strong relationships with the business sector, the urban reserve is now home to approximately 50 businesses and supports more than 750 jobs. It has added significant value to Saskatoon through employment, business activity and the service fees paid to the City under the urban reserve’s municipal services agreement. It is also home to Lakeside Medical Centre, the largest non-hospital medical facility in Saskatchewan.

We are optimistic about what this opportunity could mean for our citizens and for the revitalization of downtown Saskatoon. At the same time, we want to manage expectations. These discussions are only beginning, and our priority will be ensuring that any potential partnership is responsible, sustainable and protects the long-term interests of Muskeg Lake Cree Nation.”

“The seven Chiefs of the Saskatoon Tribal Council support this proposal, and the City is ready to move into the next stage of discussions,” says Dan Willems, Director of Technical Services. “In our early conversations we have identified some potential opportunities that could take this beyond simply the development of the entertainment and hospitality piece of the District but could include an operation partnership for the convention centre and an event centre. The additional possibility of looking at establishing these lands as a new urban reserve is also something that could be on the table.”

With eight urban reserves, plus three at various stages of the approval process and two in the beginning stages, Saskatoon has long been recognized as a national leader in urban reserve creation and partnership-based economic development with First Nations. Saskatoon is also home to Canada’s first commercial urban reserve, established by Muskeg Lake Cree Nation in 1988.

Willems says this approach reflects practical leadership in reconciliation and supports the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. The negotiations also respond to earlier Council direction to explore Indigenous placemaking and partnership opportunities as part of the District’s development.

“By creating meaningful opportunities for Indigenous ownership, economic development, operations, employment, career development, cultural expression and Indigenous placemaking and placekeeping, the District can move beyond symbolic recognition and embed reconciliation directly into one of Saskatoon’s most significant city-building initiatives.”

As next steps, Administration will begin formal negotiations with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation representatives and continue to refine the potential partnership terms. Once negotiations have advanced to the point where key terms are sufficiently defined, Administration will report back to City Council with details of the proposed partnership and any recommendations required to support implementation.

Administration will also report back to City Council every two months on the progress of negotiations.

Any substantive financial commitments, land disposition, governance arrangements, financial agreements or legal agreements would be subject to future City Council approval. Any future agreement would also be subject to Muskeg Lake Cree Nation’s own governance and approval processes.
