City ends 2025 with strong utility surplus and a near-balanced operating budget
February 25, 2026 - 4:19pm
- Saskatoon Transit and Access Transit: $2.69 million surplus, mainly due to fuel rates being lower than expected.
- Waste Handling Services (Landfill): $1.51 million surplus driven by higher-than-expected revenues.
- Snow and Ice Management: $3.03 million deficit following eight snow events (including full residential street clearing in early 2025) and a total of 16 winter weather events throughout the season.
- Water Utility: $8,076,885 surplus
- Wastewater Utility: $5,807,769 surplus
- Saskatoon Light & Power: $3,485,464 surplus
- Waste Services Utility: $1,168,114 surplus
- Storm Water Management Utility: $312,836 surplus
The City of Saskatoon (City) closed 2025 in a strong financial position with a surplus of $18.85 million within the Utility programs – a positive variance of 4.2 per cent for the City Utilities and maintaining a near-balanced operating budget for Civic Operations. There was a small operating deficit of $195,616, which is an overage of 0.03 per cent on the approved $663 million operating budget. A report outlining the Preliminary Year-End Financial Results as at December 31, 2025, will be presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Finance at its March 4, 2026, meeting.
“Our utility surpluses will help offset upcoming expenditures in the water and wastewater utilities, such as upgrading aging assets and supporting the construction of a new, second Water Treatment Plant,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance. “The minor operating deficit shows the City kept overall spending very close to plan and delivered strong financial oversight throughout the year.”
Operating Budget Highlights
The Administration recommends covering the operating deficit with funds from the Fiscal Stabilization Reserve. If approved, this will leave $16.84 million in that reserve and $7.73 million in the Snow and Ice Management Contingency Reserve to help manage any future budget shortfalls.
City Utilities Highlights
Together, these results reflect a 4.2% overall surplus across City utilities. Surplus funds will be transferred to their respective stabilization, capital or replacement reserves. The transfer of surplus funding into the capital reserves will help fund future Utility projects, including building a second Water Treatment Plant, and could reduce future borrowing or rate increase requirements. Details provided in Appendix 4 of the report.
The preliminary year-end results remain subject to the City’s annual external audit. The 2025 Annual Report will be released this summer.
The City of Saskatoon continues to hold a ‘AAA’/Stable credit rating, maintained for 24 consecutive years – reflecting Saskatoon’s strong and consistent financial management.

Bylaw charges: unlawful sale of bear spray, 500 block, 20th Street West
February 24, 2026 - 10:32am
A Saskatoon business is accused of failing to comply with City bear spray sales and recording procedures under the City’s Business Licence Bylaw.
The charges come following an investigation by the Saskatoon Police Service, aided by officials of the City Community Standards Department.
The charges are the first under recent amendments made to the Business Licence Bylaw. In July 2025, City Council changed the Bylaw to establish purchase and recording requirements for Saskatoon businesses selling bear spray.
The new rules are based on engagement with the business community, best practices and successes already in place at some sporting goods stores. The measures are also similar to processes in other Canadian municipalities.
Police officers and City officials have engaged business managers to ensure they understand the bylaw requirements which have received wide support.
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.
The purchaser must 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.
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.

Proposed alternative drop-in location: 130 Idylwyld Drive North
February 18, 2026 - 4:16pm
Following an earlier commitment to City Council to find an alternate location to 325 Avenue C South, Council is now being asked to consider a property on Idylwyld Drive North for a drop-in centre.
Securing a safe, suitable location for a drop-in centre that can provide daytime and overnight support year-round for people experiencing homelessness is a priority. Based on the Government of Saskatchewan’s $3 million annual funding commitment for drop-in homelessness services, the City of Saskatoon was asked to find an appropriate location.
When City Council approved the Avenue C building purchase at its October 28, 2025 meeting, City Administration acknowledged concerns about that location, including its proximity to other services such as the adjacent Salvation Army shelter. At that time, the Administration committed to Council it would keep looking for alternative locations.
Administration has now identified 130 Idylwyld Drive North as an alternative option. The site offers a central location, street-level access, proximity to transit and services, and a flexible layout with two bays that support adaptable service delivery, including distinct spaces for men and women. The purchase price for the site is $1,635,000 and would be funded through existing federal government funding.
A coordinated safety and security plan would be developed before opening, in collaboration with the Government of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Tribal Council and City resources. This approach reflects the methods successfully used around the Avenue C location and the downtown temporary shelter.
To prepare the building for drop-in services, some alterations would be required such as plumbing, HVAC, laundry capabilities, shower installations and site fencing. Administration estimates the cost at approximately $350,000, which would be funded through the City’s Affordable Housing Reserve.
Should Council approve the purchase, the targeted operational opening date is November 1, 2026. The Government of Saskatchewan would continue to fund the Saskatoon Tribal Council to operate the drop-in centre at this location.
City’s snow crews keep traffic and services moving during major snowfall, City declares snow event
February 18, 2026 - 3:15pm
- Crews will grade Priority 1 streets like Circle Dr and streets with three+ lanes each way like Idylwyld Dr, 22nd St and College Dr.
- By 12 hours in, we plan to move onto Priority 2 double-lane streets like Clarence Ave, McKercher Dr and Millar Ave.
- Next, we will get to the Priority 3 streets that take you through your neighbourhood like Louise Ave, Howell Ave and Main St.

- Clear your business sidewalks within 24 hours and residential sidewalks within 48 hours. Please keep this snow on your property.
City and contractor snow crews worked through the night and all day today clearing driving lanes along Circle Drive and priority streets as approximately 15 centimetres of snow accumulated over Tuesday night and Wednesday. Crews are operating 30 graders, 10 snowplows and 8 sanders around the clock. With snow expected to stop falling by early evening, they will return to the Priority 1 streets for curb-to-curb clearing around 6 p.m.
While deep snow accumulation in some areas created short-term detours or minor delays, Saskatoon Transit and waste collection operations were not greatly impacted.

Transit and Access Transit are experiencing delays due to snow accumulation
February 18, 2026 - 7:59am
Saskatoon Transit is operating today; however, snow accumulation is affecting access to bus stops and some streets. Due to heavy snow accumulation on the roads, bus operators may stop in the driving lane to pick up passengers and not pull into bus stops to avoid getting stuck. Buses will be detoured if a bus stop is not accessible due to blown in snow.
Stay informed with the real-time mobile apps, transit and Google or visit saskatoontransit.ca/service-alerts for updates on routes that are delayed longer than 20 minutes and for Snow Event Detours. If you can’t use these tools, please call our customer service centre at 306-975-3100 one hour before your trip for an update.
Access Transit
Access Transit customers are strongly encouraged to reschedule non-urgent trips today. A trip may be cancelled if the street or sidewalk/path to the pick-up location is full of snow, for the safety of the customer and operator. Same-day trips will not be accepted today.
Customers should also prepare for delays as operators navigate traffic and road conditions. In the event a paratransit bus gets stuck in deep snow, customers on board will be required to wait.
Customer service phone lines for both Access Transit and fixed-route transit are busy.
Keeping all transit services operational during snow events is a key priority, and we are committed to helping residents get where they need to go safely. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

City crews geared up to respond to snowfall warning for Saskatoon
February 17, 2026 - 12:06pm
Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a snowfall warning for Saskatoon, forecasting an accumulation of 15 to 25 centimetres of snow falling this afternoon and overnight. This amount of snow can quickly create challenging driving conditions, including slippery sections on high-traffic routes.
City crews will be on the streets during the storm. Sanding trucks will manage icy sections while plows and graders will clear snow as it accumulates on priority routes.
Drivers are asked to watch for blue and amber flashing lights on road maintenance equipment and give operators the room they need to work safely.
Once a Snow Event is declared – following a more than 5 cm snowfall - residents can follow progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
Saskatoon Transit will monitor and adjust service as needed; however, service can be delayed or interrupted by collisions, blown-in streets and bus stops that are not accessible due to snowfall and drifts. Stay informed: check Saskatoon Transit service alerts for detours or temporary bus stop closures and view real-time bus locations on third-party apps like Transit and Google Transit on desktop.

City-wide rut levelling complete, crews moving to back lanes and missed streets
February 11, 2026 - 4:01pm
City crews have completed city-wide local street rut levelling.
Work has now shifted to back lanes and streets that were not accessible during the initial pass due to a high concentration of parked vehicles. These areas will be posted with temporary parking restrictions to allow graders to complete the work safely and effectively.
This next phase is expected to take approximately one week and will be completed during the day, depending on weather and access. Since this work can't be done at night, starting tonight crews will re-initiate overnight snow removal on Priority Streets.
Residents are asked to watch for temporary parking signage and use caution around active work areas.
More information on winter road maintenance and a list of scheduled and completed neighbourhoods is available at saskatoon.ca/snow. Residents with concerns about specific locations are encouraged to contact the Customer Care Centre at Customercare@saskatoon.ca or (306) 975-2476.

City-wide local street rut levelling nearing completion
February 9, 2026 - 2:30pm
City crews have worked around the clock since city-wide local street rut levelling was initiated Thursday evening to address deep ruts caused by melting and refreezing.
Crews are on track to complete city-wide local street rut levelling Tuesday night. Once this phase is complete, crews will shift focus to back lanes and local streets that were skipped as they require temporary parking restrictions due to a high concentration of parked vehicles. These streets will be posted with temporary parking restrictions and graded.
Operations will continue to adjust as conditions allow, with crews prioritizing mobility and safety. Priority street snow removal remains paused during this work. Residents are asked to use caution around active work zones and consider parking off-street where possible to support remaining work.
More information on winter road maintenance and a list of scheduled and completed neighbourhoods is available at saskatoon.ca/snow. Residents with concerns about specific locations are encouraged to contact the Customer Care Centre at Customercare@saskatoon.ca or (306) 975-2476.
City crews and winter equipment ready for freezing rain
February 8, 2026 - 11:45am
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for Saskatoon. Freezing rain is expected to end later today and turn into snow.
Freezing rain is anticipated to cause slippery conditions and visibility issues on Saskatoon streets. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution on the streets and sidewalks.
Sanding trucks will be focusing on applying de-icing materials to Circle Drive, freeways, high traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections throughout the day and into the evening. Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.

Snow and ice management update – plan for residential streets
February 5, 2026 - 10:00pm
With recent warm weather and below zero temperatures in the forecast, deep ruts and water pooling have developed on streets in residential neighborhoods. To address mobility challenges which are expected to worsen with the drop in temperatures, the City is undertaking a city-wide rut levelling on local streets with City crews and Contractor support, starting tonight.
The work is expected to take approximately 5 days to complete city-wide with priority street snow removal to be paused.
There are approximately 24 graders mobilized to be on the road tonight in residential areas based on conditions and coordinated with the collection schedules, and crews will move into other affected neighborhoods when the collection schedules allow.
Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights.
Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles.
