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.

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.

The Poetry Downtown project features poems from six local poets displayed on the 3^rd Avenue poster directories between 19^th Street and 23^nd Street in Downtown Saskatoon. The theme of the project is Reconciliation.

Launched at the beginning of October, the project will be on display until May 31, 2023. A Call for Submissions was issued in July of 2022. Selected poets and their poem titles are: Robert Benz: The Colour of Sky, Lisa Bird-Wilson: Beside a Residential School, Lauren Klassen: O’ Canada, Mika Lafond: Unapologetic, Jada Morin: it’s always so sad to see, and Jenny Ryan: Sask..

The goals of the project are:

• to enhance and move forward with Reconciliation
• to provide opportunities for artistic expression in the city centre
• to inspire the public through poetry
• to connect the work of local poets to the community

Poetry Downtown was inspired by a challenge from Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada Louise Halfe encouraging municipalities to bring poetry to public places.

“In order to walk or run we must first learn to crawl. It is often the first step toward growth. In Cree, pimitācimo, is in itself a loaded word with multiple beginnings. However, simply translated, it means: we crawl into life with our stories,” explains Halfe.

“Art uses our physicality, spirituality, intellect and emotionality to bring forth our visions. It is expressed through literature in poetry, drama, theatre, dance, music, song and paintings. It is never stagnant. All these enhance and challenge our perspectives, they guide us into the inner center of our being, invite us to grow. These are the visions drawn from the artisan well of the artist. In essence we are all artist. It is simply expressed in multiple ways in all disciplines.”

The public is encouraged to walk along 3^rd Avenue and reflect on the poetry. The Poetry Downtown project is a partnership with Downtown Saskatoon.

Dozens of residents in Saskatoon’s Haultain and Queen Elizabeth neighbourhoods can rest a little easier knowing there is less of a likelihood of their properties flooding during intense rainfalls. A new dry storm pond in W.W. Ashley District Park, enjoyed as a newly developed park and sports field during dry weather, officially opened today.

The new dry storm pond is the first of nine to be completed under the Flood Control Strategy (FCS) which was approved by City Council in 2018. The second project is underway right now in Churchill Park and will open in fall 2023. In early 2023, construction will start on a dry storm pond in Weaver Park and six more FCS projects will be built between 2024 and 2027. The Government of Canada has contributed $21.6 million towards Saskatoon’s Flood Control Strategy through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.

“Our Government is proud to be contributing to Saskatoon’s Flood Control Strategy,” said the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities. “By investing in disaster mitigation and adaptation, we are safeguarding Saskatonians’ homes and livelihoods against the natural events brought on by climate change and building more resilient Prairie communities.”

“The W.W. Ashley Park Dry Storm Pond has already proven to be a tremendous success,” said Saskatoon Mayor, Charlie Clark. “During a significant rain event this summer, it prevented flooding in an area of the city that historically experiences floods. It also provides accessible walking paths and retains recreational space and green space when not containing storm water. The City has plans for more dry ponds and will continue work on projects in the Flood Control Strategy to help minimize flooding in the highest risk locations in the city. Through continued partnerships, we’re able to deliver better infrastructure to residents that help mitigate damage from natural events.”

“We have a well thought out strategy in place to ensure all of our projects are built and functioning by 2027,” said Russ Munro, Director of Saskatoon Water. “Flooding is never ideal, but I think we were fortunate to witness how this first flood mitigation project actually ended up exceeding our expectations during the rainstorm on June 20^th. It demonstrated these projects are a solution when it comes to protecting neighbourhood homes from being devastated by floods.”

Dry storm ponds hold water that would otherwise cause nearby flooding during intense rainfalls. The water flows into storm drains, then through underground pipes into the dry storm pond, where it then flows toward and empties into the South Saskatchewan River.

Once the FCS projects are completed, the City anticipates seeing a substantial decrease in the amount of neighbourhood flooding in the top 10 highest risk areas of Saskatoon.

Saskatoon Transit received 40 bus stop nominations from residents during the 2022 edition of the Bus Stop Blues campaign.  

As part of the campaign, which is now in its fourth year, stop nominations are grouped into one of three categories: sidewalk/accessibility; new shelter/repair; or general maintenance. This year, 90% of the nominations were for either for a new shelter or repairs to an existing shelter.

A total of 19 nominations were received through this year’s campaign for a new shelter, all of which will be reviewed in detail.

“When determining a new shelter location, we look at safety and connectivity, property lines and also examine how a location request correlates to what is proposed within the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network,” says Cory Shrigley, Customer Support & Engagement Manager with Saskatoon Transit. “Boarding data, direction of travel, service frequency, and whether it serves multiple routes is also taken into consideration.”

Shrigley also notes that many of this year’s campaign nominations involved broken glass at existing bus shelters, these will all be addressed in the coming weeks. When the glass in a shelter is broken, it is cleaned up as soon as it can be, on the day it is reported to Saskatoon Transit, with glass typically replaced within a week. However, this summer many shelters were being smashed on the same day as glass was repaired with the total cost of replacing all glass in a shelter being $2,000.

“The Bus Stop Blues campaign is important to us, as it allows riders an opportunity to communicate where the priority areas are to improve the transit experience” says Shrigley. “Safety, reliability, and ease of access are essential to increasing ridership.”

“As we work towards a BRT system, Transit connectivity becomes even more important. We’re looking to the future in terms of the locations that make sense, along with responding to the needs of those we serve today,” says Taha Najam, Transit Planning Engineer.

The total investment for bus stop improvements from September 2022 – September 2023 is $100,000.

The International Council of Aging designated October 3 to 9, 2022, as Active Aging Week – a time to celebrate aging and the benefits of active living at any age.

Active Aging Week challenges society’s expectations of aging by showing that regardless of age or health conditions, adults over 50 can live life to the fullest.

“Recreation & Community Development prioritizes and encourages Active Aging through the variety of drop-in and registered programs offered at our Leisure Centres”, says Andrew Roberts, Director of Recreation & Community Development. Programs have been categorized as Fit Over 50 programs and provide a guide to physical activity for people 50+.

To celebrate Active Aging week, the City’s Recreation & Community Development department invites residents to stop by a Leisure Centre during Active Aging Week. An ambassador will be on location to talk about fall programs. It’s also a chance to win prizes, visit with friends and relax after exercising.

• Shaw Centre: Monday, October 3 (9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.)
• Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre: Tuesday, October 4 (9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)
• Lakewood Civic Centre: Wednesday, October 5 (8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.)
• Saskatoon Field House: Thursday, October 6 (9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)
• Lawson Civic Centre: Friday, October 7 (10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
