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.

New! MyProperty is now available, access official City notices online in one secure place
October 6, 2026 - 9:54am
- On all paper property tax notices mailed in May 2026
- On all paper utility bills since June 2026
- On all electronic eBill notification emails since August 2026
- MyProperty has replaced My Utility Account and former My Utility Account credentials will not carry over to MyProperty. All services previously available through My Utility Account are now available through MyProperty.
- Existing eBill customers will need to set up a MyProperty account to continue accessing detailed utility billing information.
MyProperty, the City’s new secure online self-service portal, is now available. The launch of MyProperty, a service many residents have requested, is another step in the City’s commitment to continuous improvement and making it easier, more convenient and more accessible to do business with the City of Saskatoon.
MyProperty replaces My Utility Account and, for the first time, introduces optional online access to current and historical property tax and assessment information.
Residents who prefer to continue receiving paper notices do not need to take any action.
It’s easy to get started with MyProperty right from the homepage of saskatoon.ca
Enter your 10-digit personal access code, and details when prompted, to set up your MyProperty account. You will only use this code once, during initial account set-up.
Once your account is created, you can securely access official City information in one convenient location, including property tax and assessment eNotices, eBill utility billing details, SmartUtil and more. Learn more about what you can access and download through MyProperty.
MyProperty 10-digit access codes were sent to residents through several channels:
If you want to set up your MyProperty account but cannot locate your access code, please contact Corporate Revenue Customer Service at 306-975-2400 (M to F 8:30am to 4:30pm) or email revenue@saskatoon.ca for assistance.
Key MyProperty sign-in information
MyProperty uses a new public sign-in method that is different from the username-and-password process currently used by other City of Saskatoon online services.
You can choose to receive a one-time verification code by email each time you sign in, or sign in using an existing Google or Apple account.
For existing eBill customers and My Utility Account users:
Looking to access other City of Saskatoon online services?
To help residents reach the correct sign-in method for other online City services they want to use, the previous “Sign-In” option in the top-right banner of the City’s website homepage has been removed.
To access other City online services such as ePermitting or Business Licence Online, continue using your existing username and password. Go directly to the online City service you need, and you will be directed to the appropriate sign-in process.
Reminder: If you use more than one City of Saskatoon online service, you may have different sign-in methods. Visit saskatoon.ca/login-support for helpful information.
Questions or need help setting up your new MyProperty account?
Visit saskatoon.ca/mypropertyinfo for account set up tips and helpful information, email revenue@saskatoon.ca or call our Corporate Revenue Contact Centre at 306-975-2400. We will be pleased to assist you.
Fall with style: Annual street sweeping in select neighbourhoods begins October 13
October 6, 2026 - 9:00am
Beginning October 13, crews will be heading to Saskatoon’s leafiest neighbourhoods to help keep streets clear of leaves and reducing the potential for spring flooding.
This year includes Nutana, Holiday Park, Varsity View, Mayfair, Buena Vista, Riversdale, City Park, King George, Exhibition and Caswell Hill.
Residents can check when their street is scheduled to be swept at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
“Leaves that accumulate along streets can clog storm drains and catch basins, creating a risk of flooding when the snow melts,” says Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager. “By sweeping the leafiest streets before winter, we help protect City infrastructure and keep neighbourhoods safer and cleaner for everyone.”
Before the sweep, residents can help crews complete the work efficiently by removing leaves from sidewalks and boulevards next to your property without piling them in the street. Large leaf piles can slow down street sweepers. Residents can use a green cart or take leaves to a City compost depot.
During the sweep, watch for temporary yellow No Parking signs and move vehicles from the street by 7:00 a.m. on your sweep day. Vehicles left in signed areas may be ticketed or towed.
If a vehicle is towed, use the Find My Vehicle! tool or contact the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476.
Weather or other factors may affect the sweeping schedule. Follow along on the City’s social media channels and find your sweep day at saskatoon.ca/sweep.

City modifies 2026 Point-in-Time Count approach
October 2, 2026 - 2:27pm
The City of Saskatoon and the Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) are modifying the approach to the 2026 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count, originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
The 2026 PiT Count was planned as an enumeration only, focused on collecting a snapshot of the number of people experiencing homelessness in Saskatoon. Approximately 250 volunteers were trained, and teams were in place to support the Count.
In recent weeks, there have been heightened concerns related to the systems and services that support people experiencing homelessness in Saskatoon. The City and SHIP recognize the challenging circumstances faced by individuals and families experiencing unsheltered homelessness, including those living in encampments.
Due to safety concerns related to potential protest activity which may affect the safety of volunteers, staff and community partners participating in the count, SHIP and the City have made a difficult decision: the unsheltered portion of the PiT Count will not move forward on October 6.
“The safety of volunteers, community partners, staff and people experiencing homelessness must come first,” said Lesley Anderson, Director of Planning and Development, City of Saskatoon. “We are grateful to everyone who was prepared to take part in this year’s Point-in-Time Count. Their continued commitment helps Saskatoon better understand homelessness and advocate for the coordinated supports our community needs.”
The City will be able to collect several data points that have been included in previous PiT Counts, including the number of people staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing and systems. The City will also work with the Saskatoon Fire Department to estimate the number of people living in encampments.
This information will continue to support the understanding of homelessness in Saskatoon and inform planning, advocacy and collaboration across housing, health and community safety systems.
The primary limitation of the modified approach is that it will not include information collected directly from people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, which is normally gathered through the PiT Count enumeration process. However, the more comprehensive version of the PiT Count, including full enumeration and survey, is already planned for 2027.
SHIP and the City thank the volunteers, community partners and staff who contribute to the PiT Count each year. Their efforts are deeply valued, and we hope they will remain engaged in future Counts.
2nd Avenue and 25th Street intersection reopens as Downtown water main project progresses
October 2, 2026 - 11:51am
4th Avenue and 25th Street remains closed until approximately October 9.
6th Avenue and 25th Street is expected to close on October 5 for approximately two weeks. One westbound lane on 25th Street will remain open.
1st Avenue and 25th Street is expected to close on October 5 for approximately two weeks.
3rd Avenue and 25th Street is expected to close on October 6 for approximately two weeks.
Construction crews continue to make progress on the 25th Street water main project.
The intersection at 2nd Avenue and 25th Street has reopened to traffic, restoring access through the area as the project moves into the next phase.
Water main lining work has now been completed, and crews are continuing intersection excavations, 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 detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Tree Planting Initiative Grows Urban Canopy at Herbert Stewart Park
September 29, 2026 - 10:00am
The City of Saskatoon has enhanced Herbert Stewart Park with the addition of new trees through a community greening initiative made possible by funding from CN and Tree Canada.
The project supports the City of Saskatoon’s ongoing efforts to expand the urban forest, enhance biodiversity and create healthier, more resilient neighbourhood parks. The newly planted trees will provide environmental benefits for years to come, including increased shade, improved air quality, wildlife habitat and enhanced public green space.
“Trees are a valuable long-term investment in our community,” says Thai Hoang, Director of Parks. “This initiative will help grow Saskatoon’s urban canopy while creating a greener, more welcoming park for residents to enjoy. We are grateful to CN and Tree Canada for their support and commitment to healthy, sustainable communities.”
Funding was provided through CN EcoConnexions – From the Ground Up, a program delivered in partnership with Tree Canada that supports community tree planting and greening projects across Canada.
The newly planted trees will provide environmental benefits for years to come, including increased shade, improved air quality, wildlife habitat and enhanced public green space.
“Partnerships like this demonstrate the positive impact that can be achieved when organizations work together to support environmental stewardship,” says Scott Brown, Senior Manager, Public Affairs and Community Relations. “We are proud to contribute to projects that strengthen communities and leave a lasting legacy.”
"Tree Canada is grateful to collaborate with CN, a longstanding partner whose commitment to growing greening communities across the country has driven long-lasting impact," says Nicole Hurtubise, CEO of Tree Canada. "Through projects like this one in Saskatoon, together we're helping strengthen climate-resilience in Canadian communities."
Herbert Stewart Park is among the neighbourhood parks that have received enhancements through the City’s Park Upgrade Program, which funds improvements to established parks to address deficiencies and bring them up to current standards. The tree planting complements these broader improvements and contributes to an enhanced park experience for residents.
The City of Saskatoon continues to work with community organizations, residents and funding partners to protect and expand urban green spaces throughout the city.

New Coming Home Centre opens September 28
September 28, 2026 - 9:55am
The City of Saskatoon, through Indigenous Initiatives and the Office of the Matriarchs, is proud to announce the grand opening of the Coming Home Centre on September 28, 2026.
“The Coming Home Centre is a dream that has been years in the making,” says Melissa Cote, Director of Indigenous Initiatives.
In summer 2021, the City released a report it had commissioned on supporting Saskatoon Indigenous Women & Girls and Two-Spirit people (IWG2S). “The recommendations in the IWG2S (Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit Peoples) Coming Home Report were intended to inform the City of Saskatoon’s long-term strategy and action plan on how to improve the quality of life and health and safety for Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people experiencing all forms of violence, trauma and/or exploitation. Now, we’re expanding on those recommendations,” says Cote.
Established as part of Phase 2 of the IWG2S Coming Home Report, the Coming Home Centre will provide a dedicated, culturally appropriate space where Indigenous women and families can access support, connection and advocacy. The Centre has been created to serve as a navigation hub, helping women and families connect with community resources while working collaboratively with City departments and partner agencies.
The Centre is located in the First Nations Bank Building at 224 4th Avenue South, on land leased through Yellow Quill First Nation. The location will serve as the home of both the Office of the Matriarchs and the Coming Home Centre. Yellow Quill First Nation is one of eight urban reserves in Saskatoon. Leasing space from a First Nation reflects the City’s commitment to reconciliation, honours Indigenous rights and treaties, and acknowledges Nation-to-Nation relationships.
"For the comfort and safety of our families, it was important to find a space that met their needs and where they could feel safe, and at home," says Auntie Advocate Dorthea Swiftwolfe. "We support these families during some of the most difficult times in their lives and having the Centre so close to the courthouse will allow us to offer cultural practices such as smudging and ceremony more easily, ensuring families can receive the support they need, when they need it.”
The Coming Home Centre has a small boardroom and space that can accommodate up to 11 employees. This will allow the City to align workspace with the needs of Indigenous-specific roles in departments outside Indigenous Initiatives and the Office of the Matriarchs. This initiative also supports the City’s efforts to attract and retain Indigenous employees and build a workforce that reflects Saskatoon’s population.
“We’re so proud of the Coming Home Centre and what we will be able to offer Indigenous women and families,” says Cote. “This reflects a collaborative commitment to supporting Indigenous women and families while creating opportunities for connection, healing and access to culturally responsive services in the community.”

City of Saskatoon Recognizes Right to Know Week, September 28 to October 4
September 28, 2026 - 12:45am
- Freedom of Information: Improving openness and accountability of the City through the provision of legislated rights of access to municipal records; and
- Protection of Privacy: Preventing unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information by the City.
The City of Saskatoon is recognizing Right to Know Week from September 28 to October 4, 2026.
Right to Know Week is observed annually across Canada and coincides with the International Day for Universal Access to Information on September 28. The day raises awareness of the public’s right to access government information and the importance of transparency in public service.
Under The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LAFOIP), anyone may request access to records in the possession or control of the City of Saskatoon.
The Act's established rules strike a balance between the public’s right to know and the individual’s right to privacy through:
Access to information helps residents understand how City decisions are made, how public funds are spent and how programs and services are delivered. It supports openness, accountability and public trust.
Many public records are also readily available at no charge on the City's website.
To learn more about access to information at the City, and how to make a request visit saskatoon.ca, email the Access and Privacy Office at AccessandPrivacy@Saskatoon.ca or call 306-975-3241.

Construction on Circle Drive East begins September 28
September 25, 2026 - 2:00pm
Construction to install a new sanitary sewer and a segment of fill main on Circle Drive East is scheduled to begin Monday, September 28.
The work will take place on southbound Circle Drive East between Attridge Drive and just south of 108th Street. The sanitary sewer will support development at the University of Saskatchewan, while the fill main will support future water system expansion and resiliency.
Construction is expected to take approximately three months. A 60 km/h speed reduction will be in place in the area for the duration of the work.
Work will take place five days a week from September 28 to October 16. Beginning October 17, crews will work on alternating Saturdays as required. Crews will also work Wednesday, September 30, and will not work on Thanksgiving Monday.
Work hours will be approximately 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (daylight hours) and may extend to 10 p.m. depending on construction requirements.
Drivers can expect traffic impacts in the area and are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use caution when travelling through the construction zone.
Work schedules are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.
For current road restrictions and construction updates, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.
Downtown water main work continues on 25th Street
September 25, 2026 - 10:00am
Construction continues on the Downtown Water Main Lining Project, with upcoming changes to traffic access along 25th Street East.
Beginning Monday, September 28, the closures of the 2nd Avenue and 4th Avenue intersections will be extended for approximately one week to allow crews to complete paving. During this time, there will be no access to 25th Street East from the surrounding back alleys.
The extended closures are being coordinated to avoid a full closure of 25th Street East during paving.
Once paving at 2nd Avenue is complete, the intersection will reopen. A closure at 1st Avenue and 25th Street East will then begin Monday, October 5, and is expected to remain in place for two and a half weeks.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use alternate routes where possible.

Update: Encampment response - 20th Street and Avenue K
September 24, 2026 - 2:00pm
- There is no access to utilities – water, sewer, heat or electricity
- There is nowhere to remove yourself from the elements
- Accumulated human waste, garbage and discarded needles
- Rainwater causing contaminated waste to pool
- Attraction of pests and rodents
- Unattended or uncontrolled fires
- Increased drug use and overdose-related calls
- Reported gang activity
- Reported concerns about human exploitation or trafficking
Updated to include 9:15 a.m. statement.
2:00 p.m. - Updated Statement
The clean-up and fencing activity for the encampment at 20th Street and Avenue K has been paused.
The level of aggressive protest from community advocacy groups has made any work at the site unsafe.
Fire and partner agency workers report most of the protest activity does not involve homeless occupants.
Crews had been prepared to clean up two vacant lots on 19th Street and Avenue K however, protesters encircled contractor vehicles, going so far as to climb on top of the fencing stacked on one of them.
Saskatoon Fire Department, police officers and other partner agency staff were confronted by aggressive protesters directing profane, derogatory and vulgar comments at them.
As a sign of good faith, the Saskatoon Fire Department was opting to forgo a clean-up of 301 Avenue K South as that address is the subject of a court application that will be heard next week.
We know this is frustrating for many in our community, notably the St. Mary’s school families and staff who have been asking for officials to take action for the past year.
City and partner agencies are planning next steps.
**********
9:15 a.m. - Statement
We know you have heard or seen some news stories or social posts about how the City has dealt with an encampment at 20th Street West and Avenue K South.
Some suggest that people be allowed to live in small communities of tents to address the lack of adequate housing.
At face value, that might seem like a reasonable response, but it has many risks and dangers, which is why the City takes a different approach by removing encampments from private or public property under the Property Maintenance Bylaw.
The City’s encampment response prioritizes outreach and connecting people with available supports and services such as access to shelter, housing, food providers, transportation and medical care.
Each response follows four phases, with outreach offered throughout the process.
Individuals are then granted some time to gather their belongings and vacate the encampment. Anything left behind is removed by City staff or contractors.
However, in light of a recent King’s Bench court filing, the lot at 301 Avenue K south will not be cleaned up. Two other adjacent lots will be cleaned.
Here are the facts:
The situation at Avenue K and 20th Street has resulted in escalating safety concerns each day. The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) has received a high volume of calls, emails and concerns from residents, nearby businesses in addition to the parents and staff of St. Mary’s school, two blocks away.
The Salvation Army has been on scene since August 5, twice a week to connect people living at this site with housing, transportation, outreach and other supports. Many have accepted support.
The City relies on Saskatoon’s Property Maintenance Bylaw because it enforces safe and adequate housing.
Encampments do not meet this standard because:
Encampments that remain in place may grow over time and increase risks such as:
There are growing concerns for public health as fire inspectors have observed human waste and rotting food which have attracted insects and rodents.
The City’s goal is to always support the safety and well-being of people staying at the site, but also support the safety and well-being of neighbouring residents and businesses, St. Mary’s School students and staff as well as the broader community.
Here is the background to today’s action:
On September 10, 2026, a Notice to Remedy (under the Bylaw) was issued for the Avenue K parking lot.
By September 15, the SFD reported encampments at the parking lot had grown, with additional encampments on three nearby vacant lots.
In recent weeks, The Salvation Army has noted that some people who had previously accepted support, participated in case management or used Mobile Outreach services are now declining assistance. Some individuals have told outreach workers they plan to remain at the encampment now because they believe support will be available there at the vacant lots. As a result, planning for winter supports and connections to services has stalled.
On September 21, the SFD attended the site to assess the number of structures and identify what support may be needed. At the time there were 51 structures.
The Salvation Army returned to the site on September 22 and spent four hours offering supports. SFD also served notice that a cleanup would take place and offered help to connect people with services. No one accepted supports during that visit.
SFD returned to the site on the morning of September 23 to again offer support and help people access available services.
The Ministry of Social Services was also scheduled to attend the site at 11:00 a.m. on September 23, alongside Mobile Outreach, SFD and the Saskatoon Police Service. The group was forced to leave because they were confronted by some people at the encampment who were acting aggressively, using profanity and capturing video.
SFD staff also noted community advocates appeared to outnumber the individuals who were staying in the encampment.
Following the City Council approved processes, a cleanup is scheduled for September 24. Contractors have been arranged, and fencing will be installed to help prevent future use of the site.
