News Releases

The City of Saskatoon (City) is prepared for the potential impact of a severe summer storm this afternoon and has activated the Emergency Operations Centre. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a Tornado Watch for Saskatoon. A watch means atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes.

ECCC has stated damage to infrastructure and personal property is possible in severe storms. The potential for heavy rain can lead to localized flooding on roads and in intersections. Saskatoon Police Service (SPS), Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) and all City departments are monitoring conditions and are ready to respond if necessary. Saskatoon Light and Power (SL&P) crews are on standby as well. Saskatoon Transit may be impacted during summer storms - service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

The Saskatoon Landfill, Saskatoon Forestry Farm & Zoo and other City facilities may close if severe weather does occur. Visit saskatoon.ca/servicealerts for the most up-to-date impacts to City facilities and services. 

The City is advising residents to take immediate steps to ensure their safety and to stay informed. Monitor the forecast, local news stations, saskatoon.ca and social media for updates. Learn about emergency preparedness and sign up to receive emergency alerts at saskatoon.ca/notifynow. notifynow will send out a message to subscribers in the event of impending or escalating safety concerns.

A significant piece of Saskatoon infrastructure that would have required extensive modifications to continue operating has been replaced. Construction on a new Spadina Lift Station and force main, which moves approximately 60 per cent of Saskatoon’s wastewater from the sanitary sewer system to the H. McIvor Weir Waste Water Treatment Plant, has wrapped up and has been in service for about three months. 

“The decision to construct a new lift station instead of modifying the existing one, which was built in the 1940s as a sewage disposal facility and repurposed as a lift station in the 1970s, made the most sense,” said Russ Munro, Director of Saskatoon Water. “The risk in modifying the old structure would have been significant and not feasible, both from an operational perspective and from a capital expenditure perspective.” 

Collaborative funding efforts from both federal and provincial governments highlighted the recognition of the project's importance and its impact on the community's well-being. The Government of Canada provided $7.2 million toward the Spadina Lift Station project under the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Government of Saskatchewan provided close to $6 million. The City of Saskatoon invested $4.8 million to cover the remaining contribution.

“Reliable and sustainable water infrastructure contributes to the basics of a well-run city,” said the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. “Today’s completion of the new Spadina Lift Station ensures better wastewater management and well-being for the community into the future.”

“Today, we celebrate the completion of a facility that will have a lasting impact on future generations,” said the Honourable Don McMorris, Minister of Government Relations. “As our cities continue to expand, it is important that critical infrastructure meet both current and future demands. Our government is committed to strengthening our communities through vital projects like this, ensuring a brighter future for all.”

“Saskatoon has experienced tremendous population and neighbourhood growth in recent decades,” said Mayor Charlie Clark. “This upgrade to the Spadina Lift Station is critical for ensuring we have the continued capacity to move the majority of Saskatoon’s wastewater safely and efficiently to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will benefit both today’s residents and future generations. Thanks to the Federal and Provincial Governments as funding partners in maintaining and modernizing this important infrastructure for our city.”

A second building on the same site was completed in 2016 and serves as a bypass lift station whenever needed. To learn more about the critical role Saskatoon’s 26 lift stations play in helping get wastewater to the treatment plant, visit saskatoon.ca/liftstations.

The City of Saskatoon is celebrating the completion of the McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station. This milestone marks a significant achievement in ensuring a reliable supply of clean water to residents and businesses in the northeast part of the city. The facility has been in operation since March.

“As Saskatoon continues to grow, the McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station is an important addition to our water management system,” said Russ Munro, Director of Saskatoon Water. “With a capacity to store 43 million litres of treated water from the Water Treatment Plant, the reservoir ensures consistent water availability for Evergreen, Aspen Ridge and Willowgrove.”

The reservoir was approved for federal and provincial funding through the New Building Canada Fund. The project cost is $56,850,000 (Federal: $14,678,775; Provincial: $14,678,775; City: $27,492,450). 

“Reliable and sustainable water infrastructure contributes to the basics of a well-run city,” said the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor, on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. “The completion of the McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station, with its capacity to store 43 million litres of treated water, will ensure consistent water availability and the continued well-being of residents in Evergreen, Aspen Ridge, and Willowgrove for years to come.”

“The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to join the City of Saskatoon in recognizing the completion of this important project,” said the Honourable Don McMorris, Minister of Government Relations. “Together, we are investing in infrastructure that builds and protects this province. We are proud to support projects that help Saskatchewan grow and meet the needs of current and future residents.”

“As the city continues to face accelerated population growth, it is essential that residents have access to clean and safe water,” said Mayor Charlie Clark. “Adding the City’s fourth reservoir and a new pump station will deliver treated water to Saskatoon’s east-side neighbourhoods, helping the City prepare for the increasing demand from residents and businesses. Thank you to both the Provincial and Federal Governments in helping to support this critical infrastructure and the future growth of Saskatoon.”

In addition to enhancing the City's water distribution capabilities, the McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station is equipped with the most up-to-date pumping systems and controls. The water is stored in an underground concrete reservoir that is approximately six metres deep.

Saskatoon has three other reservoirs that help deliver water to nearby neighbourhoods: the 42^nd Street Reservoir, the Avenue H Reservoir, and the Acadia Drive Reservoir. For more information about the McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station, please visit saskatoon.ca/reservoir.

Reconciliation Saskatoon invites everyone in the community to join the 2024 Rock Your Roots: Walk for Reconciliation on June 21 — National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Event Details:
Friday, June 21
10:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Victoria Park

• 10:00 a.m. Gather in Victoria Park
• 10:30 -11:30 a.m. Reconciliation Walk along the river
• 11:30 -11:45 a.m. Walk ends in Victoria Park at Reconciliation Circle (near the Lions skate park)

After the walk, the Saskatoon Indian Métis Friendship Centre will host a free lunch, a program and activities in the park.

This walk brings the community together to honour the truth of the Residential schools and those who survived them, as well as demonstrate our collective commitment to reconciliation.

“I had a dream of walking for Residential School Survivors that didn’t have a voice,” says Jamie Fiddler, Residential School Survivor. “This Rock Your Roots walk is a covenant of truth or ‘tāpwēwin’ and reconciliation or ‘miyo-wâhkôhtowin.’ As we are one family, we walk and heal together, going into the future.”

Participants of the walk are invited to “Rock Your Roots” by wearing orange or contemporary/cultural regalia, or carrying signs that celebrate their heritage. Knowledge Keepers will start the day with a ceremony. Residential School Survivors will be honoured by leading the walk. Along the route, an international cast of singers, dancers, and musicians will celebrate the diverse cultures of Saskatoon.

This year, organizers have several initiatives to reduce waste at the event through their Mother Earth team.  They encourage participants to bring their own water bottle, waste free snacks, and throw compostables and recyclable items in the right bins.

Reconciliation Saskatoon recognizes the incredible support of Community Investors that make this walk possible. For the full list of supporters and all event details, visit: www.ReconciliationSaskatoon.com/rock-your-roots   

Rock Your Roots is organized by Reconciliation Saskatoon, which is co-chaired by the City of Saskatoon. The intent of this event is to answer the TRC Calls to Action by demonstrating a commitment to Reconciliation, honouring Residential School Survivors, and continuing work towards an inclusive community. The walk has been an annual one in Saskatoon since 2016.

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.
