Spray pads open Sunday, June 1, 2025
May 28, 2025 - 9:00am
- 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 23 City of Saskatoon spray pads located around the city. Spray pads will open for the season on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 10 a.m., and will be operational daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Please note, in June (Monday to Friday), 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 will vary according to individual school schedules. All spray pads are activated by push buttons located near the spray features. The bell schedules are listed on the Where to Play Google Map posted at saskatoon.ca/spraypads.
To find a spray pad location near you, check out the Where to Play Google Map at saskatoon.ca/spraypads or call 306-975-3378.
Spray Pad Improvement Project
The City has started 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!

Cosmo Civic Centre designated an evacuation site: temporarily closed for public use
May 27, 2025 - 2:53pm
Wildfires in northern Saskatchewan have forced the evacuation of a significant number of residents from the area. In response, the City was approached by the Canadian Red Cross to use Cosmo Civic Centre as a designated temporary evacuation site until it is safe for the residents to return to their homes. The costs associated with hosting the evacuees will be billed to the Canadian Red Cross.
The Canadian Red Cross is managing the evacuations and has assessed other locations in Saskatoon that can accommodate large numbers. Unfortunately, no other suitable facilities are currently available.
The City has prior experience providing evacuation spaces; Cosmo Civic Centre was the last Leisure Centre used for this purpose over ten years ago. The facility was requested by the Red Cross and has been identified as the primary choice for an evacuation space due to its size and amenities, ability to be quickly converted for emergency use, proximity to services such as retail and food, access to transit, and it is the least disruptive to the City’s overall recreational programming.
To accommodate this emergency response, Cosmo Civic Centre and arena will be closed to the public effective today. This temporary closure includes all programming, rentals and transit ticket sales. The Carlyle King Branch Library will remain open at this time.
We understand that this closure may cause inconvenience and we deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during this emergency response. The City anticipates the closure will remain in place for at least the next couple of weeks and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Updates will be shared with the public as more information becomes available.
Patrons are encouraged to visit Leisure Online at dropinschedule.saskatoon.ca for programming options available at the City’s other leisure facilities. Your cooperation and support are invaluable as we navigate this emergency together.

Point-in-Time Homelessness Count community report highlights Indigenous over-representation and more children and adults; evictions a primary contributing factor
May 27, 2025 - 11:00am
Saskatoon is experiencing the highest number of individuals facing homelessness ever recorded. The findings are revealed in the 2024 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count Community Report, officially released on Tuesday, May 27, pointing to a significant rise in homelessness across the city.
“Homelessness should be rare, brief and not repeated. These numbers are heartbreaking and unacceptable,” said Mayor Cynthia Block. “Every person without a home is a call to action — especially when so many are Indigenous, reflecting the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Cities are on the frontlines, but we cannot do this alone. We need urgent, coordinated action from all orders of government and we must work in true partnership with Indigenous leadership to create lasting solutions.”
As noted in preliminary findings from the City of Saskatoon and community partners, the 2024 PiT Count identified at least 1,499 individuals experiencing homelessness in Saskatoon – nearly triple the number recorded in 2022. With approximately five individuals per 1,000 residents experiencing homelessness, Saskatoon now faces one of the highest homelessness rates in Canada.
Alarmingly, the count also shows a dramatic rise in the number of children experiencing homelessness – 315 children were counted in the 2024 count compared to 26 children counted in 2022.
The community report highlights significant disparities. One of the most striking is the over-representation of Indigenous peoples who make up less than 12 per cent of Saskatoon’s general population but account for over 80 per cent of those experiencing homelessness. This underscores the ongoing impact of systemic inequities and barriers to accessing safe, affordable housing.
Evictions are the primary factor contributing to homelessness, as reported by over half of the survey respondents. Additionally, one-third of respondents identified insufficient income as another major factor contributing to homelessness. The data also point to a growing number of women, youth, seniors and families without stable housing, as well as a rise in unsheltered individuals sleeping in unsuitable conditions.
Additionally, mental health and addictions were the most frequently reported health-related challenges among respondents, with over 80 per cent reporting a substance abuse issue, and 60 per cent indicating a mental health issue. These responses underscore the complexity and challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness.
“The PiT Count helps us understand the extent of homelessness in Saskatoon. While the numbers are only a snapshot in time, the PiT Count doesn’t and can’t quantify the human suffering. The data can still help guide us in preparing as a community to address these challenges,” says Robert LaFontaine, SHIP Executive Director.
The count was conducted on October 8, 2024, through a collaborative effort led by the City of Saskatoon, the Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP), and the Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR) at the University of Saskatchewan. Over 200 volunteers and numerous community organizations contributed to the initiative, which is part of the Government of Canada’s Reaching Home program—a national effort to better understand and address homelessness.
Using standardized national methodologies adapted to reflect local context, the PiT Count provides critical insights into demographics, service usage and the pathways that lead individuals into homelessness. These findings will help guide the development of culturally appropriate, evidence-based policies and programs, and long-term solutions.
While the PiT Count offers only a snapshot of homelessness over a 24-hour period, it remains a vital tool for identifying urgent needs, fostering collaboration and building public awareness.
The City of Saskatoon also thanks the Government of Canada for funding this project and for its continued critical role in this effort.

Crews begin nighttime crosswalk painting blitz
May 22, 2025 - 1:00pm
Crosswalks on high-traffic Saskatoon streets will be repainted over the next two weeks. Crews will be working at night to avoid peak traffic times and minimize disruption.
Crews will be painting crosswalks Sunday to Thursday nights starting May 25, 2025. The work is expected to be completed the first week of June.
Please use caution and take care when you encounter painting crews on the road. They’re not blocking your path – they’re making a safer one. Let’s do our part to keep them safe, too, and respect work zones.

City adopts Place Identity Framework
May 22, 2025 - 10:15am
- Build relationships- Commit to creating and sustaining relationships with residents, rights holders, stakeholders and community organizations to build a greater sense of place, identity and community.
- Be informed- Understand that place naming and place identity are informed by traditional knowledge, historical research and community insights.
- Be inclusive- Listen to the diverse perspectives and experiences of the residents of this city and commit to public input, transparency, education and communication when it comes to place identity.
Be relevant- Understand our stories of Saskatoon and what connects us historically and balance that with celebrating our local culture when it comes to place naming, commemoration and symbols.
Implementation of the Framework will include working with community and multiple internal departments within the City of Saskatoon to integrate place identity practices at the earliest stages when it comes to the planning of new public spaces.
“This is about recognizing change and accepting new perspectives while honouring and reflecting upon our shared past and creating a better, more inclusive future, for all residents” says Calvez.
The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce the adoption of a new Place Identity Framework to guide future place identity and place naming initiatives. City Council adopted the Place Identity Framework on May 21, 2025.
The purpose of the Framework is to work with all residents to explore the shared understanding that we all have about our home. The Framework will be a guide to how the City names public spaces, and will guide decisions on public art, commemoration and monuments including what cultural symbols, flags, emblems and coats of arms will be displayed.
“The Place Identity Framework recognizes that not everyone has been included in how the City of Saskatoon has identified and visually represented itself,” says Stryker Calvez, Director of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI). “This is especially important for those who have called this place home since time immemorial. This framework acknowledges the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples, those people raised here, and the newcomers who chose to make it their home. We all contribute to Saskatoon and, therefore, should have a say in the making of its identity.”
Place identity will have four guiding principles within the wider context of existing City policies, plans, projects and related initiatives:

City Council approves wildlife feeding ban to support public safety and urban wildlife management
May 22, 2025 - 9:00am
- Feeding Ban: It is now prohibited to intentionally feed wildlife or leave attractants – such as food, food waste, compost or garbage – on any property with the intent of attracting wildlife or that could attract wildlife.
- Bird Feeding Exception: Residents may continue to feed birds on private property using a bird feeder that is above grade to prevent access to other wildlife.
- Enforcement and Penalties: A Notice of Violation may be issued for non-compliance. Fines are set at:
- $250 for a first offence
- $500 for a second offence
- $1,000 for a third or subsequent offence
City Council yesterday approved amendments to Bylaw No. 10079, The Animal Control Bylaw, 2025 (No.2) and Bylaw No. 10080, The Property Nuisance & Abatement Amendment Bylaw, 2025, to prohibit the feeding of wildlife on all public or private property in Saskatoon.
The new regulations aim to help reduce conflicts and promote a respectful coexistence with urban wildlife. The term “wildlife” is defined in accordance with provincial legislation, The Wildlife Act, 1998, and includes any vertebrate animal that is wild by nature in Saskatchewan (e.g., coyotes, foxes, racoons, rabbits, deer, etc.).
Key provisions of the amendments include:
“These bylaw updates reflect best practices from other municipalities and support our efforts to maintain a safe and healthy urban environment,” says Parks Director, Thai Hoang. “Feeding dangerous wildlife, even unintentionally, can lead to increased risks and poor outcomes for both animals and residents.”
Residents are encouraged to review the updated bylaws and take steps to ensure their properties are free from wildlife attractants.

Council approves city-wide multi-unit organics program
May 21, 2025 - 4:00pm
Today Saskatoon City Council approved the implementation of a City-wide organics collection program for multi-unit residential properties. The move builds on the success of the curbside green cart program for single-family homes and aims to ensure all residents have equal access to waste services.
The recommendation for a City-led multi-unit organics program stems from a yearlong pilot study that explored the most effective ways to provide organics diversion to multi-unit residential properties including apartments, condos and townhouse complexes. A report to the May 6, 2025 meeting of the Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services provided a detailed analysis of the options available to the City for multi-unit organics programs.
Engagement with pilot participants, including residents, property managers and condo boards, showed a preference for a City-led organics program. In addition to being the preferred option, it is projected to be the most cost efficient when compared to current market alternatives. Organic material gathered through the program would be handled at the City’s organic processing facility, which begins construction this July.
An implementation plan is being developed aiming to have a city-wide program fully operational in 2028.
To learn more about the pilot program, visit saskatoon.ca/multiorganics.

Information at your fingertips to help navigate construction in Saskatoon
May 21, 2025 - 10:00am
- This link goes to the News section of the City of Saskatoon website where the Daily Road Report is posted every weekday afternoon. The report shows where construction on Saskatoon’s busiest roadways is happening, and residents can subscribe to receive it and other News Releases and PSAs through e-mail.
- This interactive map shows where there’s active construction, construction upcoming later this year and tentative construction planned in the coming years. All projects and timelines listed are subject to change.
- Anyone can mark pothole locations on this map. City crews will assess reported locations.
- This page includes information about how to merge and navigating through construction zones using the zipper merge technique. Zipper merging keeps traffic moving and is more efficient for drivers in both lanes.
- Every construction work zone is a workplace, whether it’s on a road, sidewalk or back lane. Visit this page to see a refreshed Respect Work Zones marketing campaign, reminding us to be patient and cautious when travelling through work zones.
During every construction season, the City of Saskatoon (City) aims to reduce disruptions and keep traffic moving as smoothly and safely as possible while necessary road work is underway. With 2025 construction now in full swing, the City is reminding residents of the tools available to help them stay up to date.
This year there are several investments being made into Saskatoon roads and to vital supports like the Broadway Bridge and upcoming Link system. City crews responsible for maintaining roads every spring have been out for a several weeks already street sweeping, re-painting road lines and filling potholes, to name a few.
Saskatoon.ca/construction is the one-stop-shop for all things relating to City-lead road and water main construction. It is where the most up-to-date information about significant and impactful construction projects is, and the page has several useful links:
Road Restrictions and Construction Projects Map
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by road construction. Sometimes bus stops are temporarily moved and sometimes traffic slows down due to construction which creates delays. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit.
Be cautious when travelling near work zones. Obey signs and watch for workers on the other side of the pylons. Every worker is someone’s someone, and we all deserve to get home safe.
Who’s new at the Zoo? Gila Monster
May 21, 2025 - 9:00am
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) is excited to welcome its latest addition a pair of Gila Monsters!

Named after the Gila River Basin in Arizona where they were first discovered, Gila Monsters are known for their vibrant, colourful skin patterns, often in shades of orange, pink and black.
You can find the Gila Monster habitat at the Affinity Learning Centre.
The Zoo is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visit saskatoon.ca/zoo to plan your next visit or learn more about the Zoo Season Pass.

City launches new active transportation safety campaign
May 15, 2025 - 6:00am
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians go together best when we all know how to safely share the road. The City of Saskatoon’s new BYXE Break Active Transportation Safety Campaign aims to promote safe and respectful interactions to create a safer, healthier and more enjoyable environment for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
Launching on Bike to Work Day, the BYXE Break campaign encourages the community to recognize that, no matter what mode of transportation we choose, we are all human beings deserving of respect. The campaign focuses on delivering important messages about sharing the road, understanding right-of-way and the many benefits of diverse transportation options.
The campaign also highlights the physical benefits of active transportation, such as improved fitness and well-being, and practical benefits like avoiding traffic congestion and freeing up parking spaces in busy areas.
Respect on the road is totally rad!
