Saskatoon Fire - News Releases
Spray pads open Friday, May 29, 2026
May 26, 2026 - 11:00am
- Smarter Spray Pads – Upgrading nozzles and adding remote controls to use water more efficiently.
- More Shade & Water Access – Installing shade structures, water fountains, and misting stations at six spray pad and paddling pool locations to provide extra relief from the heat.
Cool off at any of the City of Saskatoon’s 22 spray pads opening for the season on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 10 a.m. Spray pads operate daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
On Weekdays in June, spray pads located near school grounds are set to turn off 5 minutes before recess and lunch breaks and will resume 5 minutes after the breaks are over. Shut-off times vary according to individual school schedules. All spray pads are activated by push buttons located near the spray features.
Please note, the spray pad at Ernest Lindner Park will be closed for the season due to a park upgrade and Brighton Core Park and Thorton Park will have delayed openings due to repairs.
Find a spray pad near you, view school bell schedules and check maintenance-related closures using the Where to Play Google Map posted at saskatoon.ca/spraypads.
Spray Pad Improvement Project
The City continues a project to improve spray pads and help people stay cool during hot weather, while also conserving water. Running from 2025 to 2027, this initiative will make it easier for everyone to access drinking water and find relief during extreme heat. Plus, it will help protect our water systems by reducing water use during the busiest summer months.
The project will include:
This work is funded by a $700,000 grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund and the Government of Canada, as well as a $950,000 Green Loan, to be paid back with water bill savings.
This project builds on successful pilot programs in 2023 and 2024, which helped cut water use by 25-40% without taking away any of the fun. By switching to lower-flow and misting nozzles, we’re making our spray pads more sustainable while keeping them just as enjoyable!

Expressway street sweeping begins Monday, May 25
May 22, 2026 - 10:00am
The City of Saskatoon will begin overnight expressway street sweeping operations on Monday, May 25, as part of the annual Spring Sweep program.
Expressway Sweeping operations will take place in phases on portions of Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive and associated on and off ramps, and all of the work will be conducted overnight – between the hours of 8pm and 6am. The work is expected to last approximately one month, depending on weather conditions.
This work will not require full road closures. Crews will sweep one lane at a time, meaning one lane of traffic will remain open while work is underway. Drivers should expect partial lane closures and reduced speeds in active work zones.
Street sweeping is an active work zone. Drivers are reminded to slow down to 60 km/h, stay alert and follow all signage and directions around crews and equipment.
Street sweeping removes debris and sanding material from Saskatoon roadways, helping improve safety, drainage and roadway cleanliness.
Residents can find their neighbourhood sweep date and updates at saskatoon.ca/sweep.
City of Saskatoon provides update on pothole repair operations and response efforts
May 22, 2026 - 9:30am
Members of your news organization are invited to join the City of Saskatoon for a news conference providing an update on current pothole repair operations and the City’s response to increased pothole activity this spring.
Roadways Manager Cam LeClaire will be available to speak to the information shared in the City’s recent news release, including current repair operations, staffing and contractor support, repair prioritization and the impacts of weather and freeze-thaw cycles on road conditions.
Locations where pothole crews will be working can also be provided for b-roll and photo opportunities following the news conference.
Date: Monday May 25, 2026
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Parking lot of John Deere Building (330 Ontario Avenue)
NOTE: Media are asked to arrive no later than 5 minutes before 10 a.m.
City crews ramping up pothole repairs after weather delays
May 22, 2026 - 9:00am
Due to a higher-than-average accumulation of snowfall, as well as a high number of freeze and thaw events during the winter and spring seasons, the City’s pothole blitz was delayed. Despite mother nature getting in the way, we’re doing everything to get back on track, and the City has mobilized extra crews and contractors to accelerate completion of the repairs beginning Monday May 25.
“Since hot-mix asphalt became available for use at the start of May, City crews and contractor crews have used nearly 400 tonnes of asphalt during the pothole blitz,” says Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager. “Our crews repair potholes year-round. In colder weather, we use gravel or recycling asphalt for temporary repairs, while hot-mix during warmer weather allows us to make more permanent repairs to maintain safety and provide a smoother ride on Saskatoon streets.”
Crews prioritize potholes in driving lanes on high-traffic streets first to address safety and mobility concerns quickly. Once these areas are addressed, crews return to repair potholes near curbs, parking lanes, and lower-priority streets.
Potholes are a common challenge in cities with freeze-thaw climates. Moisture enters small cracks in the pavement, freezes and expands, which causes the asphalt to break apart. Traffic travelling over weakened pavement can quickly enlarge these holes.
To date, more than 3,700 potholes have been reported using the City’s Report a Pothole map. Because of the high number of freeze-thaw events, this represents an increase of more than 2,000 potholes compared to the same time period in 2025. Residents reporting a pothole through the online map can also see whether the location has already been identified and is awaiting repair.
Potholes confirmed as emergencies are marked as High Priority on the online map and are addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Non-emergency pothole repairs are part of planned maintenance programs, ensuring the road network's longevity while prioritizing citizen safety and mobility.
Please allow 24 to 48 hours for repair completion and Map updates. Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety.
Hazardous potholes or pavement cuts can be reported to our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Explore more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.

City launches City Stories: a new way to connect with residents
May 21, 2026 - 10:55am
The City of Saskatoon is excited to launch City Stories, a new storytelling space where residents can explore stories, photos and content that highlight the work being done every day to make Saskatoon a great place to live.
City Stories is the City’s dedicated storytelling platform, designed to share timely, accessible and resident-focused information in an engaging, conversational style. It’s a place to learn more about the people, projects and ideas shaping our city beyond meetings and technical updates.
Every day, the City plans, builds and maintains infrastructure people rely on, including streets, sidewalks, bridges, parks, swimming pools, sewers, water and transit. At the same time, we’re working on things that may be less visible but are just as important such as accessibility, affordability, safety, sustainability and community building.
City Stories will showcase articles covering these topics and more, offering a distinctive glimpse into what it takes to run a city and how we plan for the years ahead. The story items focus on serving the people who live here today, while helping create a city that will welcome many more tomorrow.
Residents are encouraged to visit City Stories often, as new and interesting articles will be shared weekly.
To explore City Stories and read the latest articles, visit citystories.saskatoon.ca.
Celebrate Arbor Week 2026 in Saskatoon
May 21, 2026 - 9:00am
Residents are invited to recognize the value of trees and our urban forest during Arbor Week, taking place May 24 to 31, 2026. A variety of activities organized by the SOS Trees Coalition will offer residents, students and families opportunities to learn about proper tree planting, discover the many benefits trees provide, and enjoy time spent in Saskatoon’s green spaces.
As part of the week’s events, the City, in partnership with SOS Trees Coalition, is hosting a community tree planting that will bring together students from Estey School and Walter Murray Collegiate. New trees and shrubs will be planted near Sifton Park in the Mount Royal neighbourhood to enhance the area and create a more welcoming and vibrant green space.
Date & Time: Thursday, May 28 at 9 a.m.
Location: Green space northwest of Sifton Park along 29th St. W., Saskatoon
This event is made possible by funding from the Government of Canada through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Trees play an important role in enhancing Saskatoon’s quality of life. Arbor Week is a reminder of the importance of caring for and supporting the continued growth of the city’s urban forest.
For more information on tree planting, visit saskatoon.ca/treeplanting.

Warman Road traffic signal testing begins Tuesday, May 19
May 14, 2026 - 1:46pm
The City of Saskatoon will begin testing new pedestrian crossing signals on Warman Road at Hazen Street and at 5th Avenue North next week to prepare for activation. The traffic signals will operate in temporary flash mode starting at 10 a.m. on May 19 through May 21, weather and testing dependent.
During this testing period, the traffic signals crossing Warman Road at Hazen Street will flash red in all directions for drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding when safe. The traffic signals crossing Warman Road at 5th Avenue North will flash amber, requiring drivers to proceed through the intersection with caution.
The signals will be activated ahead of May 31 when bus service begins at the new adjacent bus stop platforms on Routes 30 and 35, providing new access for residents in the area.
Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are reminded to pay close attention to signage and use extra caution.
To plan a trip on Route 30 and 35, use the Transit App or Google Maps Transit, or check out route schedules at saskatoontransit.ca/routes. These new bus stops will be part of the future Link rapid transit blue line. Learn more at saskatoon.ca/link.
City Reports Strong Progress in Final Year of 2022-2025 Strategic Plan
May 14, 2026 - 1:25pm
The City of Saskatoon’s 2025 Strategic Plan Progress Report marks the final year of the City’s 2022–2025 Strategic Plan and reflects a year of remarkable outcomes and important transitions as Saskatoon continues to grow.
“The 2025 results reflect both measurable progress and important investments behind the scenes,” says Richard Phillips, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “This report demonstrates the City’s deliberate choices to support affordability, environmental responsibility and reliable services. While there is more work ahead, we are entering our new, 2026-2029 Strategic Plan cycle with strong momentum, building on the value and results delivered over the past four years for everyone who lives, works, learns and plays in Saskatoon.”
In 2025, the City of Saskatoon continued to work on 25 key strategic initiatives, with 7 fully completed. Ongoing work planned for 17 initiatives was completed as scheduled, with work continuing as planned in 2026. One initiative was flagged for caution due to its scale and complexity, with timelines adjusted to ensure long‑term success. This represents a 96 per cent delivery rate on our key strategic initiatives.
While celebrating these achievements, the City remains focused on areas that require continued attention. Progress is being made in strengthening emergency response times, transit performance, and residents’ perceptions of inclusion. These areas of focus, alongside ongoing improvements in workforce diversity, will continue to receive attention. Administration has already identified ways in which these areas can see progress in over the coming years.
“We recognize that there are areas for improvement but we have also taken actions in several areas that are important to residents,” says Phillips. More attainable housing was delivered than in previous years, supporting affordability. Waste diversion reached record levels and greenhouse gas emissions continued to decline as environmental initiatives moved into action.
The City also invested in transit, asset management, digital services, and data systems, strengthening long‑term service delivery and planning as the city continues to grow. Saskatoon also remained one of the most affordable cities, helping residents and local businesses.
Overall, 2025 represents a year of progress and transition, balancing today’s service needs while building a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable Saskatoon.

Long awaited Pedestrian Railway crossing connects River Heights and North Industrial neighbourhoods
May 14, 2026 - 11:00am
The City of Saskatoon has bridged another divide, building a pedestrian crossing at the CN Railway tracks between Assiniboine Drive and 43rd Street East. The new pathway will officially open on May 18 2026 following the announcement by CN Rail that they will be ceasing the use of airhorns in that area that day.
The completion of the railway crossing, just off Warman Road, provides a safe and legal connection across the tracks. It is now easier for people walking, riding their bikes, or using other types of active transportation to move between neighbourhoods east of the tracks and the commercial areas on the west side.
“Until now, there weren’t any safe or legal routes for pedestrians to cross the railway tracks for a three and a half kilometre stretch between 33rd Street and 51st Street,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation. “The new crossing provides another transportation option.”
The pedestrian rail crossing is the first of its kind in Saskatoon. It functions like a typical roadway rail crossing with light signals and gate arms to block the path when a train is approaching, keeping pathway users safe.
For people living and working in nearby communities, it means another option for getting around.
"This crossing will provide my residents with access to shops, restaurants and businesses in the north commercial district, which is something they have been asking for,” says Randy Donauer, Ward 5 Councillor. “I'm very pleased to see this pedestrian rail crossing open and I'd like to thank our Administration and CN for making it happen."
The City aims to establish a safe and convenient network of active transportation infrastructure throughout Saskatoon. Building a connection point between Assiniboine Drive and 43rd Street supports those goals by allowing different modes of transportation better access to future active transportation corridors in the north industrial area.
For more information on accessibility and pedestrian projects in Saskatoon, visit saskatoon.ca/moving-around.
Construction season underway across Saskatoon
May 14, 2026 - 10:00am
- Neighbourhood water main projects
Water main replacement work is underway in Riversdale, Blairmore, North Park, Richmond Hill, Caswell Hill, Nutana, Buena Vista and Haultain. These projects renew aging infrastructure and help maintain a dependable water supply. - Acadia Reservoir – primary water main
Primary water main work at the Acadia Reservoir is nearing completion and is a key step in preparing the water system to meet long-term community needs. - Idylwyld Drive – overnight roadway preservation
Night work is scheduled between 20th Street and 25th Street, and between 39th Street and 51st Street, to extend pavement life and minimize daytime traffic impacts. - 22nd Street – overnight roadway preservation
Night work will take place between Idylwyld Drive to Avenue P. - Circle Drive – overnight roadway preservation
Night work will happen between College Drive and Attridge Drive, and from the Gordie Howe Bridge to Idylwyld Drive. - Highway 7 connector improvements
Additional roadway work is occurring from 22nd Street to the CPKC rail line. - University lands servicing
Servicing work is progressing to support a future strategic infill development and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. - Biosolids Pipeline Corridor Project
Installation of new water and sewer infrastructure is underway in the Marquis Industrial area and Meewasin Valley Trail near the Silverwood Heights neighbourhood. Work along Wanuskewin Road between Arthur Rose Avenue and Highway 11 includes open‑cut excavation and horizontal directional drilling, with phased detours and road closures in effect. - College Drive and Downtown infrastructure
Projects include: Link system construction on College Drive between Clarence Avenue and Preston Avenue, water main lining on 25th Street between 1st Avenue and Spadina Crescent, and rehabilitation work on the University Bridge. - Cahill Park Dry Storm Pond
A new dry storm pond is being developed in Cahill Park that will help reduce flooding in nearby areas by collecting and slowly draining storm water during and following heavy rainfalls.
Some of Saskatoon’s most travelled roads are scheduled for major upgrades this summer. These projects are designed to maintain essential infrastructure and support long-term community growth.
Residents can expect traffic restrictions, detours and localized impacts throughout the spring, summer and early fall.
“Across Saskatoon, our crews are doing the often overlooked but important work that keeps clean, reliable water flowing and helps extend the life of our infrastructure,” says Matt Jurkiewicz, Director of Construction and Design. “From renewing aging water mains to preserving busy roadways or preparing land for future development, this work is essential to keeping Saskatoon moving now and into the future.”
2026 construction project highlights
(See attached map for numbered locations.)
The City recognizes construction can be inconvenient and disruptive to daily routines and travel. Residents and drivers are asked for patience and understanding throughout the construction season. Help keep everyone safe – including the crews working on site – by following posted signage, observing detour information and respecting work zones so everyone can return home safely at the end of their shift or commute.

City releases 2025 Service, Savings and Sustainability Report
May 13, 2026 - 2:30pm
- Financial Responsibility:
$4.13 million in savings were achieved in 2025, with $7.88 million in total projected savings over five years. - Efficient Infrastructure Delivery:
A new approach to curb stop replacements is expected to save taxpayers up to $425,000 annually, while reducing construction disruption and avoiding the need for drinking water advisories. - Waste Reduction and Environmental Stewardship:
City‑delivered services diverted 42,457 tonnes of waste from the landfill, an increase of 1,726 tonnes from 2024. Waste diversion through the Material Recovery Centre increased by 35 per cent year over year. - Innovation in City Operations:
The introduction of a GPS‑guided sport field line‑painting robot improves accuracy and efficiency, allowing staff to focus on other priority work while maintaining high‑quality recreational spaces. - Community Engagement and Reconciliation:
Residents were engaged on initiatives such as affordable housing, river access and new leisure amenities, while the City advanced Reconciliation through meaningful initiatives, relationship‑building and collaboration with Indigenous communities.
The City of Saskatoon has released its 2025 Service, Savings and Sustainability (SSS) Report, highlighting the progress made over the past year to improve civic services, strengthen long‑term sustainability and deliver strong value for taxpayers.
The report showcases how City teams continue to build on past successes by identifying efficiencies, introducing innovation and investing wisely to meet the needs of Saskatoon’s growing population. In 2025 alone, these efforts resulted in $4.13 million in savings, with $7.88 million in cumulative savings expected over the coming years through continued cost savings, cost avoidance and reductions.
“As Saskatoon grows, we remain focused on using public resources responsibly while delivering high‑quality services residents rely on,” says Jeff Jorgenson, City Manager. “The 2025 SSS Report reflects the dedication and creativity of City employees and the meaningful impact of their work.”
The report also highlights the City’s continued focus on livability, sustainability and inclusive growth, ensuring Saskatoon remains a vibrant and resilient community for current and future residents.
2025 Key Highlights

Coexisting with Saskatoon’s urban wildlife
May 12, 2026 - 9:00am
- Do not feed wildlife: You are not helping them. Feeding wild animals can make them lose their natural fear of humans, leading to increased encounters and potential conflicts. City Bylaw prohibits the feeding of wildlife on all public and private property in Saskatoon and may result in fines.
- Respect wildlife: They are not pets. Keep wildlife wild by not approaching or attempting to touch them.
- Use hazing techniques: If you encounter a wild animal, make loud noises, wave your arms and throw small objects towards (but not at) it to scare it away. Do not run or turn your back.
- Secure food sources: Keep garbage, compost, birdseed and pet food out of reach and tightly sealed.
- Keep pets safe: Always supervise pets when they are outside, especially at night. While out on a walk, have pets under your control and on a leash in areas known to have wildlife.
- Report unusual behaviour: If the animal is acting unusual (e.g., approaching people, staggering or acting confused), call Customer Care at 306-975-2476. If the animal is acting aggressive, contact the Saskatoon Police Service non-emergency line at 306-975-8300. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
As warmer weather approaches, it’s important to remember that we share our urban spaces with many species of wildlife such as coyotes, foxes, geese, jackrabbits and raccoons.
Encountering urban wildlife in Saskatoon is normal and these animals play a vital role in our ecosystem. Understanding how to coexist with them can ensure safety for both the wildlife and our community.
Here are some important tips for coexisting with urban wildlife:
By following these guidelines, we can co-exist safely and prevent unwanted encounters with the wildlife that share our urban spaces.
For more information on urban wildlife, visit saskatoon.ca/wildlife.
