Saskatoon Light & Power will begin removing seasonal decorations starting January 15. Over the next few weeks, work will impact various roadways including:

• University Bridge – Tuesday, January 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  
• 2^nd Avenue – Sunday, January 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

This will be a moving work zone and will impact traffic in both directions. Drivers are reminded to slow down in work zones and be respectful of workers.

The Decorative Lighting Program provides lit and unlit seasonal decorations on street light poles in many of Saskatoon’s major commercial areas over the winter season. The decorations provide a welcoming ambience, supporting the Winter City Strategy by providing more lighting to make the darker winter season more inviting and beautiful. While some are removed in January, the remainder of the decorations are turned off and removed after the spring equinox.

Stay informed about your property's new assessed value! As 2025 is a provincial reassessment year, the City of Saskatoon will begin mailing Notices of 2025 Reassessment for residential and commercial properties starting January 27, 2025.

Get an early preview -- starting Wednesday, January 8, 2025, you can preview your property’s new 2025 assessed value by using the Property Assessment & Tax Tool found at saskatoon.ca/taxtool. You will also be able to review how your new assessment was created via the sales data used in the assessment model for your property class type and check information about the residential markets.

Why reassessment matters: In Saskatchewan, provincial legislation mandates a reassessment of all property types every four years. This ensures that property values reflect a more current, accurate, and fair market value. For the 2025 assessment, your property's value will be updated from the 2019 base date to a new base date of January 1, 2023. This updated value will be one factor in calculating your property tax for the next four years.

Important dates:

• January 27 to March 28, 2025: The City's 2025 Assessment Roll is open for public inspection. The assessment roll is a listing of all property assessments by class in Saskatoon.
• January 27 to March 28, 2025: The 60-Day Assessment Review & Formal Appeal period. If, after speaking with an assessor, you wish to appeal your property’s assessment in 2025, you must do so within this timeframe.
• January 27, 2025: The City will launch an easy-to-use Revenue Neutral Property Tax Calculator. This tool will allow you to get an early estimate of your 2025 property tax amount before phase-in and budget adjustments are finalized in March 2025.
• March 2025 to April 2025: Amended Assessment Notices will be mailed to properties that require an update to their assessed value for the full year.
• March 2025: Tax Policy reports go to City Council for review and approval.
• Early May 2025: 2025 Property Tax notices will be mailed.
• June 30, 2025: 2025 Property Tax payments due.
• July to December 2025: Supplementary Assessment Notices will be mailed to properties that require an update to their assessed value for less than a full year.

We’re here to help:

• Visit saskatoon.ca/assessment
• Email: assessmentsubmit@saskatoon.ca
• Speak with a City Assessor: 306-975-3227
• Make an in-person appointment with a City Assessor: 306-975-3227

The repeal of Bylaw No. 8770, Zoning Bylaw, 2009 and replacement with Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024, was given Ministerial approval by the Government of Saskatchewan and is in effect as of January 3, 2025. This is the result of a multi-year process that worked closely with stakeholders to modernize and simplify Saskatoon’s zoning.

The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that facilitates implementation of the City of Saskatoon's Official Community Plan. All land in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning district and subject to development standards associated with the zoning district. Parking, permitted uses, and setbacks are included in these regulations.

Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024 will be available on the City of Saskatoon website at saskatoon.ca/city-hall/city-bylaws-policies/city-bylaws.

The Saskatoon Fire Department would like to remind residents and visitors of safe practices for purchasing, enjoying and disposing of fireworks. This New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, December 31, low-hazard fireworks can be discharged on private property between dusk on New Year’s Eve and 12:15 a.m. on New Year’s Day.

Low-hazard fireworks are designed for public recreational use. These fireworks travel less than 50m (160ft) high and include items such as roman candles, sparklers, fountains, wheels, volcanoes, mines and snakes. 

High-hazard fireworks are designed for professionals and can only be purchased by persons holding a valid Fireworks Supervisor – Level I or Level II card issued by Natural Resources Canada. 

Residents and spectators are reminded of the risks and obligations associated with fireworks: 

• Carefully read and follow the manufacturer instructions.
• Exercise increased caution when handling and discharging any type of firework.
• Choose your location wisely. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property.
• Familiarize yourself with the space requirements for the type of firework being discharged. Requirements vary depending on the firework type.
• Ensure your location is free of overhead obstructions, is clear side-to-side and is a safe distance from combustible materials.
• Ensure that it is not windy and that all spectators are safely located to observe the display.
• Be sure to properly stabilize the firework according to manufacturer direction.
• Other than sparklers, never light or hold a lit firework in your hand.
• Always light the fuse at its tip.
• Never try to relight or fix the fuse on fireworks that did not go off.
• Have a supply of water available and use it to extinguish debris or smouldering embers before they cause injuries, property damage and/or fires.
• Keep in mind that you are solely responsible for any debris that may land on spectators or another’s property. 

For more information about fireworks safety, please visit saskatoon.ca/fireworks. 

The Saskatoon Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve!

The Saskatoon Fire Department has completed ice thickness testing at storm water retention ponds around the City. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe for public recreational use. All recreational ponds have surpassed the minimum required thickness. Signage has been updated accordingly at each pond.

Residents are reminded to check the posted signage each time they consider using the pond. If the sign displays a green “Skating Permitted” icon, the ice has been confirmed safe to use. Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including shoveling, flooding, as well as user safety.

Only select storm water ponds are designated for recreational use. Please visit saskatoon.ca/ponds for a list of ponds permitting winter recreational use.

Over the next several weeks, visitors to the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) will start to see the Zoo animals preparing for the cooler winter temperatures ahead. Many species including the snow leopard, lynx, bobcats, bison and caribou thrive in cooler temperatures thanks to some very cool natural adaptations.

“Caribou are well adapted to life in cold climates,” says Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “The herd at the Zoo is already working on developing their dense undercoat made up of ultra-fine fur and a longer overcoat of hollow guard hairs that will keep them warm throughout the winter. Caribou also have large, sharp hooves that act like snowshoes allowing them to walk on top of the snow.”

Other animals like the grizzly bears and prairie dogs, are getting ready to sleep away the cold winter days.

“Mistaya and Koda have started making their beds so to speak,” says Mitchell. “You might see the bears combing through the extra straw and leaves the zookeepers have placed throughout their habitat. Mistaya and Koda like to carefully select each leaf and piece of straw, only taking the best of the best back to their den to make their bed.”

Dingoes Maple and Euci will soon be off-exhibit as the cool weather settles in. While the dingoes love to play in the snow for brief periods of time, they will be spending most of their time in their indoor habitat in favour of warmer temperatures.

A reminder to purchase your 2023 Zoo Season Passes before December 31, 2022 to receive 2022 rates. Zoo Season Passes are available for purchase at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo or any Leisure Centre.

The Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visit saskatoon.ca/zoo for more information or to plan your next visit.

Helping Canadians upgrade their homes to be more energy-efficient fights climate change, creates good jobs and helps save on monthly bills.

The Community Efficiency Financing initiative is offered through the Green Municipal Fund (GMF) delivered by FCM and funded by the Government of Canada. CEF helps communities of all sizes implement innovative local financing programs that directly help homeowners cut their greenhouse gas emissions, make their homes more energy-efficient, comfortable and affordable, while creating local jobs and keeping the local economy moving.

This initiative is one of the ways GMF continues to build on its 20-year record of supporting transformative environmental initiatives at the community level. The Government of Canada has invested $1.65 billion in the GMF since its inception, enabling municipalities to support projects like this that will leverage local resources to drive innovative solutions.
