Environment and Climate Change Canada is advising freezing rain Saturday morning and continuing throughout the day, possibly ending in the early afternoon. City crews are fully prepared to manage the road conditions. 

Roadway crews with 10 Sander units will monitor priority streets, on and off ramps and bridge decks and apply de-icing treatments, starting with Circle Drive and expressways, and will continue to maintain city streets as long as the weather persists. 

With freezing rain, and subzero temperatures in the forecast, road conditions can become dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles. 

Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights. 

For more information on winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow.

Elections Saskatoon is advising residents that the results of the 2024 Civic Election (Municipal government and Public and Separate School Board Trustees) are now considered official and final, as certified and declared by the Returning Officer, November 14, 2024.

2024 Civic Election Declaration of Official Results - Council

2024 Civic Election Declaration of Official Results - School Board Trustees

“We are very happy with the overall operation of the 2024 Civic Election,” says Returning Officer, Shellie Bryant. “No significant issues were reported at polling stations, and it was great to see residents engaged and turning out at the polls to elect their local leadership for the next four-year term.

This was reflected in our 35.04 per cent overall voter turnout from a total of 195,178 eligible voters -- an increase over the 27 per cent turnout for the 2020 election. Most importantly, the election results reporting is accurate. The new modernization processes were successful, and they will be further analyzed as the complete election is reviewed.”

Following the close of polls at 8 p.m., the complete unofficial results of the 2024 Saskatoon Civic Election were posted late on the evening of November 13, 2024. Polls were closed and reported publicly in accordance with The Election Bylaw. Bryant says a delay in publicly posting unofficial election results was a result of three factors: 

1. At the close of polls there were still voter lineups at several polling stations. Per legislation, at the official closing time, every voter in line at the voting location is entitled to vote. In providing the opportunity for everyone in line to vote and not wanting to release results while voting was still occurring, results were delayed until voting was fully completed.
    
2. A significant volume of mail-in ballots were received prior to the 8 p.m. deadline. These ballots were required to be processed, verified and then counted. This count was the final polling station reported at the conclusion of the evening.
    
3. While the vote tabulators worked exactly as designed, there was a longer than expected upload time to the reporting portal.

Journalists on site were able to report out earlier on unofficial results due to posting of printed election tabulator results once processed (unofficially) in City Hall Lobby.

 A detailed Returning Officer report will be presented to City Council through the Governance and Priorities Committee following Elections Saskatoon’s full review of the 2024 Civic Election.

Meet Saskatoon’s newly elected local leadership for the next four-year term, 2024-2028:

The City of Saskatoon proudly recognizes Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8th. This day is dedicated to honoring the brave Indigenous people who have served in the Canadian armed forces. Their contributions and sacrifices have often been overlooked, and this day is an opportunity to acknowledge their vital role in our shared history.

Indigenous Veterans Day acknowledges the unique challenges and triumphs faced by Indigenous peoples in the military. Despite historical and ongoing systemic barriers, Indigenous veterans have served with distinction in various conflicts, from the First World War to present-day missions. Their bravery and commitment to protecting their homelands and allies deserves recognition and respect.

Did you know?

• It has been estimated that that as many as 12,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people served in the great conflicts of the 20th century and at least 500 lost their lives.
• Indigenous soldiers became successful snipers, reconnaissance scouts and code talkers. Men like Charles “Checker” Tomkins of Alberta translated sensitive radio messages into Cree so they could not be understood if they were intercepted by the enemy.
• In order to enlist and fight for Canada, many Indigenous soldiers had to become enfranchised, which meant they gave up their Treaty status and essentially disconnected from their communities.

Indigenous veterans have demonstrated - and continue to demonstrate - bravery, courage, and leadership. To honour Indigenous veterans and those who never made it home, please consider taking the time to learn more about the stories and contributions of Indigenous veterans and those individuals currently serving.

For those interested in paying tribute to Indigenous veterans and ensuring their stories are remembered, the Remai Modern is hosting a screening of the film Cree Code Talker on November 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The 14-minute film will be shown numerous times throughout the day. Cree Code Talker reveals the role of Canadian Métis Cree code talker Charles ‘Checker’ Tomkins during the Second World War.

Thank you for helping us honor our Indigenous veterans.

The City of Saskatoon has installed an upgraded pedestrian crossing on 22nd Street at Avenue X. This installation includes a pedestrian-activated signal along with new pavement markings and signage, improving visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. The project was funded by a grant from SGI’s Provincial Traffic Safety Fund. 

This new signal is a valuable improvement for pedestrian safety in the area, reflecting the City’s commitment to fostering safer, more accessible streets for all community members. 

Drivers are reminded to stop for the red signal at this newly enhanced crossing. 

The Provincial Traffic Safety Fund supports community safety initiatives through biannual grants. The City will continue applying for funding to further improve the safety of intersections and school zones across Saskatoon. 

For more information on pedestrian safety in Saskatoon, visit saskatoon.ca/pedestriansafety.

The City of Saskatoon has lowered flags to half-staff in respect and remembrance of the Honourable Murray Sinclair. Flags will remain lowered until sundown on Sunday November 10, the day of his memorial service. 

An Anishinaabe and member of the Peguis First Nation, Sinclair leaves behind a powerful legacy dedicated to Indigenous justice and advocacy through his work as a lawyer, the first Indigenous-appointed judge in Manitoba and second appointed in Canada. 

In 2009, Sinclair was appointed Head Commissioner of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). He was tasked with investigating the accounts and impacts of Canada’s residential school system, introducing the 94 Calls to Action in 2015. These recommendations formed the basis for the City of Saskatoon’s work in the area of Indigenous Initiatives and promoting reconciliation in our community. 

“Murray Sinclair was one of the greatest nation builders this country has ever known. He was a genius of a leader who knew how to transform hearts and minds through his love and his deep understanding of justice,” says Mayor Charlie Clark. “As people of this land, it is our duty to carry on the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, drawing on the strength and wisdom he shared with everyone. Our deepest condolences to his family and those who loved him.” 

Shortly after the end of the TRC Commission, he was appointed to the Canadian Senate, helping to draft and pass legislation on water animal protection, LGBTQ2S+ rights, and Indigenous languages, rights, and child welfare jurisdiction. 

The Honourable Murray Sinclair will be laid to rest in West St. Paul Manitoba.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting periods of snow and the risk of freezing rain beginning early Tuesday morning and continuing throughout the day. City crews are fully prepared to manage the road conditions. 

Roadway crews with 17 Sander units and, if needed, 10 Plow trucks will focus on priority streets for the morning commute with de-icing treatments, starting with Circle Drive and expressways, and will continue to maintain city streets as long as the weather persists. 

With snow, freezing rain, and subzero temperatures in the forecast, road conditions can become dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles. 

Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights. Service Alerts will keep residents updated on the need for road maintenance. 

For more information on winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow.

Saskatoon Transit is warning residents of a “Saskatoon Public Transport Card” fare scam on social media and through a fraudulent website.

A fraudulent social media account is advertising a scam offer for a $2.00 Go-Pass that supposedly provides six months of unlimited travel. Additionally, a linked website falsely impersonates as an official Saskatoon Transit page, promoting the opportunity to receive one of 500 limited edition cards for six months of unlimited travel through an online survey. This deceptive tactic seeks to mislead individuals into purchasing a fake pass and sharing their personal information.

To find the complete list of fare prices for Saskatoon Transit, visit: saskatoontransit.ca/fares-passes.

How to identify a potential scam:

• The scam offers seem too good to be true.
• The website may not be an official webpage or social media account page.
• Requests for personal or financial information are a red flag.

Helpful reminders to help protect residents from potential scammers: 

• The City never requests or collects credit card, bank accounts or any sort of personal information from customers via phone, text, social media, or email. 
• Never give out your personal or banking information, or credit card number over the phone, by text, on social media, by email, or on a non-trusted website. It is a best practice to block suspicious phone numbers, email addresses or social media accounts and delete them after reporting. 
• Do not click on suspicious web links. 

• Always verify information from trusted sources:
  • Official website:
    • Saskatoon.ca
    • Saskatoontransit.ca or Transit.saskatoon.ca
  • Social media channels:
    • @cityofsaskatoon
    • @stoontransit

Scammers typically use the information gathered to get money or commit identity theft.

Residents should contact their bank if they have become a victim of fraud and report these types of phone or online scams to Saskatoon Police Service at saskatoonpolice.ca/onlinereporting/fraud/ or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.

Concerned residents may also call the City of Saskatoon to speak with a Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400. 

Avenue H will be closed between Walmer and Bedford roads starting Tuesday, November 5, at 7:00 a.m. for service connection replacements. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take two days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

The City of Saskatoon is replacing a valve on a water main at Avenue H and 17^th Street West that feeds into the 42^nd Street Reservoir. Drinking water quality is not affected, however as the work is taking place, some residents and businesses in the north end of Saskatoon are experiencing lower than usual water pressure.

There have been reports of lower water pressure in River Heights, Silverwood, Lawson Heights, Hudson Bay Park, Hampton Village and the airport area. These areas may experience lower water pressure for approximately one week, barring any delays or unforeseen circumstances.
