Saskatoon Fire - News Releases
Full closure of Wanuskewin Road beginning week of July 27
July 21, 2026 - 2:00pm
Beginning the week of July 27, Wanuskewin Road will be fully closed north of 72nd Street for approximately three months as crews complete open-cut pipeline installation work on the Biosolids Pipeline Corridor Project.
During this phase of work, Wanuskewin Road will be closed in both directions at 72nd Street, and there will be no access through the work zone. Drivers travelling between Saskatoon and Highway 11 will not be able to use Wanuskewin Road and will be detoured via Louis Riel Trail (Highway 11) and Idylwyld Drive.
Northbound traffic on Wanuskewin Road will be detoured at Marquis Drive, while southbound traffic from Highway 11 will be required to use alternate routes to access the city.
Access to the new development area, including Kohut Avenue, Eidem Link and Shoquist Avenue, will remain available from the south using Wanuskewin Road up to 72nd Street.
Pedestrian and cyclist pathways north of Marquis Drive will remain closed throughout this phase of construction.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and follow all posted detour signage while this important infrastructure work is completed. We thank residents and commuters for their patience.

University Bridge to remain closed to general traffic for near term
July 17, 2026 - 1:30pm
After discussions with emergency services and the Saskatchewan Health Authority, the decision to open the University Bridge to general traffic has been delayed temporarily to ensure that consistent emergency access to the hospitals and related services remains the priority. The current pedestrian access routes on the bridge will remain in place.
The Contractor has been making good progress, and the City will continue to work with them to complete Stage 1 work on College Drive from the bridge to Hospital Drive/University Drive. Opening the bridge to general traffic requires integration and coordination between the construction work on College Drive and the rehabilitation work of the arch on the bridge. Additional information on when general traffic will flow across the bridge will be shared as details are confirmed for both construction projects.
A reminder that the Royal University Hospital and Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital can still be accessed by patients and visitors. Stage 2 work from Hospital Drive to Cumberland Avenue has commenced on the north lanes of College Drive with one lane in each direction being accommodated on the south lanes.
The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as these essential infrastructure projects continue and we ensure that public safety remains the priority.

Next phase of Downtown Water main Lining project begins the week of July 20
July 17, 2026 - 10:00am
Crews will begin excavating and rehabilitating the water main on 25th Street East between Spadina Crescent East and 1st Avenue North the week of July 20, as part of the next phase of the Downtown Water main lining project
This phase of work is expected to continue through mid-to-late October, weather permitting and subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
To reduce impacts, excavation crews will strive to maintain traffic flow along 25th Street where possible. However, temporary street and intersection closures will be required at various stages of the project, and detours will be in place.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage and use caution when travelling through the work zone. Detours will be in place to guide motorists around the work zone.
Residents and businesses within the work zone will have limited road access during construction. Temporary No Parking signs will be posted at least 72 hours before any street closures and will provide the most up-to-date information on closure dates and times.
Work on 4th Avenue between 24th Street and 25th Street is also continuing. Watermain replacement and storm sewer installation remain underway and are expected to be completed by mid-August, weather permitting and barring unforeseen circumstances.

Overnight road resurfacing beginning on McOrmond Drive
July 17, 2026 - 9:00am
The City of Saskatoon would like to remind residents that overnight road resurfacing work will begin the week of July 20 on McOrmond Drive from Willowgrove Boulevard to Addison Road (northbound) and from Nelson Road to Kerr Road (southbound).
To help reduce overall impacts on motorists and traffic flow, crews will begin work each evening at 7 p.m., with the road reopening each morning at 7 a.m. throughout the duration of the project.
The work is expected to take approximately eight days, weather permitting and subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Residents in the area can expect increased noise and vibration while heavy equipment is in operation.
Road resurfacing involves removing the old, deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with a new layer of hot mix asphalt. This treatment is used when the asphalt surface has reached the end of its service life, while the road structure beneath remains in good condition.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down, follow all posted signage and use caution when travelling through the work zone. The public is also encouraged to watch for a project schedule graphic on the City's social media channels outlining the planned phases of construction.

River flow decreases; recreational activities can resume
July 16, 2026 - 3:27pm
As of today, the Water Security Agency advises flows on the South Saskatchewan River have decreased to levels of roughly 340 m³/s and they will continue to lower for the next few days. Recreational activities may resume, however such flow rates are still considered above the average flow rate and caution is always advised on the river.
On Friday, July 17, the City will reopen the public boat launch located in Kiwanis Park, north of the Broadway Bridge.
Additionally, the safety buoys, which were swept away by the strong current, will be reinstalled July 17 providing a visual safety reminder of the adjacent downstream weir.
Residents are reminded that Bylaw 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits. The strong river current, a shifting riverbed and steep, slippery banks makes playing and swimming in the river extremely dangerous, even with normal water flows.

Memorial tree positive for DED, City saddened at necessary removal
July 16, 2026 - 10:30am
- Not storing, transporting, selling, purchasing or burning elm wood or branches at any time. These actions are illegal.
- Not pruning elm trees during the provincial pruning ban from April 1 to August 31. Pruning during this time attracts elm bark beetles, which can spread the disease to healthy trees.
- Disposing of all elm wood immediately at the City Landfill, where disposal is free.
Do not take elm wood to the Compost Depot or place it in your green bin.
Sadly, after testing positive for Dutch Elm Disease (DED), the City must take immediate action and remove one of the trees along the Memorial Avenue of Trees at Woodlawn Cemetery.
“This is a difficult thing to have to do and an action we have to take with a heavy heart,” says Director of Parks, Thai Hoang. “While any historic elm that must be removed is a loss, this hits a bit harder.”
The positive result came back earlier this week and according to the City’s DED rapid response plan, the elm must be immediately removed.
“The City has taken measures to protect these trees as much as is practical including inoculating trees against Dutch Elm Disease,” Hoang says. “However, that is not a fail-safe and because of the high likelihood of root grafting between trees, the disease easily spreads.”
The Memorial Avenue of Trees in Woodlawn cemetery was created at the urging of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE) to commemorate the men and women who had fallen during the First World War.
“It’s not simply a public memorial, but an intensely personal one -- none of these men was ever coming home,” says City Archivist Jeff O’Brien. “There would be no grave here in Saskatoon for people to stand at, no place to put flowers on, but you could have a tree in Woodlawn Cemetery -- growing in celebration of the specific person that had been lost.”
The tree that is being removed is in memory of, “The Officers of the Forever Scotland Camp.” While not dedicated to a specific soldier, sailor, nurse or airman, O’Brien says the memorial is just as important.
“The Memorial Avenue of Trees is unique in Canada, for the simple reason that it still exists,” O’Brien says. “There were at one time a number of these arboreal memorials in many cities such as Victoria, Montreal and Winnipeg, for example, but over the years, they’ve all been cut down.”
The Memorial Avenue of Trees is a National Historic Site. Parks Canada has been notified of the pending removal.
The Parks department will follow the direction of City Council in 1922 when it promised the IODE that it would replace the trees if necessary. This has been done as trees have previously died from drought or other issues.
Residents can take a few simple actions to help prevent the spread of DED by:

Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo celebrates birth of baby caribou
July 13, 2026 - 10:00am
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby caribou, an exciting addition that highlights the Zoo’s commitment to conservation, education and animal welfare.
The male calf was born on Thursday, June 25, 2026, to mother Mira. He weighed 9.4 kilograms at birth and has since grown to 12.8 kilograms. Mom and baby are currently receiving care behind the scenes while the Zoo’s Animal Care Specialists closely monitor their progress and support this important early bonding period. The pair are expected to begin exploring their habitat this week.
The calf has been named Lyall Petrie in honour of Dr. Lyall Petrie, who was a mentor and friend to hundreds of veterinary students at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in large animal medicine. Dr. Petrie passed away on May 5, 2026.
“Our Animal Care Specialists are providing Mira and her calf with the time, space and support they need during these important early days,” said Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager, Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. “It is especially meaningful to name this calf Lyall Petrie in honour of Dr. Petrie, whose guidance, generosity and dedication left a lasting mark on so many in the veterinary community.”
Visitors can expect to see Lyall gradually become more active, stay close to Mira and begin exploring the caribou habitat as the pair continue to settle in. Visibility may vary from day to day as our team continue to prioritize the health, comfort and routine of both animals.
Caribou, also known as reindeer, are the same species, Rangifer tarandus. Listed as Vulnerable, caribou face risks including habitat loss, human development and climate change. They are well adapted to cold climates, with a dense undercoat and longer hollow guard hairs for warmth. Their broad hooves help them move across snow and soft ground, and both males and females grow antlers.
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo is proud to support the Caribou Conservation Alliance. The birth of this calf helps raise awareness about the importance of protecting caribou and their habitats for future generations.
Plan your next visit and learn more about the Saskatoon Zoo animals, conservation work and programs at saskatoon.ca/zoo.

Severe thunderstorm clean-up underway
July 9, 2026 - 10:48am
A severe thunderstorm rolled over Saskatoon and area overnight July 8 and into the early morning of July 9. The storm downed tree limbs causing power outages, creating obstacles and debris in streets, alleys, parks and open areas.
City crews have been hard at work since the early hours of the morning to get Saskatoon moving around.
Saskatoon Light & Power
Saskatoon Light & Power continues to address widespread power outages affecting customers across the city. Over 100 power workers are actively assessing damage, identifying affected areas and carrying out repairs as quickly and safely as possible.
The latest updates are available on the Saskatoon Light & Power Outage Map by visiting saskatoon.ca/outages and also saskatoon.ca/servicealerts.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as our teams work to safely restore service across Saskatoon and display the most up-to-date information on the Outage Map. To report an outage, please contact Saskatoon Light & Power at 306-975-2414 (24/7 hotline).
Saskatoon Fire Department
The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) dispatched and monitored 34 incidents over a 90-minute period overnight for fire crews to respond to.
The SFD Communications Centre also dispatched and monitored multiple rural fire department responses for cities of Warman, Martensville and the Towns of Osler and Dalmeny.
Fire crews responded to multiple electrical hazards of downed and arcing power lines which caused several small fires.
Roadways & Transportation
Roadways crews are actively clearing lanes, roads and catch basins of storm debris, including branches, leaves and other materials, to help maintain safe travel conditions and proper drainage.
Residents are encouraged to use caution during their commute, particularly at intersections where traffic signals still may be without power. Treat all non-functioning traffic lights as four-way stops and watch for crews working near roadways. Additionally, crews are addressing any street signs that were blown down and traffic signals facing the wrong direction.
Waste Collection
Some waste carts may have blown over. If your cart was missed because it was blown over at the time of collection, crews will not be returning for a second pickup. Please ensure your cart is placed upright and accessible for collection on your scheduled pickup day.
Parks
Parks crews are currently responding to high-priority tree hazards, including clearing fallen trees obstructing roadways and removing hanging branches that pose an immediate safety risk. Given the significant number of locations requiring attention, branch pickup and debris removal will take several days to complete. We appreciate the public’s patience as crews work through all reported sites and continue cleanup efforts across the city.
Customer Care Centre
If there are any essential services that require attention causing safety concerns, please contact the Service Saskatoon 24/7 Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. Please note that the Customer Care Centre is experiencing a high volume of calls as a result of last night’s storm and are focusing on providing support to safety and essential services.

Unlawful sale of bear spray results in $7K fine for business on 500 block, 20th Street West
July 8, 2026 - 2:37pm
A Saskatoon Court has imposed a $7,000 penalty on a business convicted of unlawfully selling bear spray and failing to record the information of the buyer. The total fine, which includes a $2,000 victim surcharge pursuant to The Victims of Crime Act, is $1,500 for unlawfully selling the bear spray and $3,500 for failing to record the buyer’s information.
The decision, made in Saskatoon Bylaw Court June 30, was the first fine issued by the Court under the City’s updated Business Licence Bylaw. Earlier this year, with help from officials in the City Community Standards Department, the Saskatoon Police Service accused a business operating in the 500 block of 20th Street, West of breaking the Bylaw.
“One of the primary goals of the bylaw changes is deterrence,” says Mark Wilson, City of Saskatoon Licensing and Permitting Manager. “Since City Council made the amendments to the bylaw, we’ve subsequently heard from multiple retailers who have decided to stop selling bear spray.”
City Council passed the amendments a year ago. They require a purchaser to be at least 18-years-old and provide two pieces of government-issued identification. The name, ID number, date of birth and address of the purchaser must be recorded by the business and made available to the City.
The bear spray must be stored in a secure area, out of view of customers and only products containing the manufacturer’s serial number may be sold.
“Businesses that choose to sell bear spray have a responsibility to do so in accordance with the amendments to the Business License Bylaw. When violations are identified, enforcement helps maintain the integrity of those regulations and supports the collective efforts of police, the City, retailers and the community,” says Doug McNeil, Inspector in charge of the Saskatoon Police Service Community Engagement Division.
“We support measures that promote responsible sales and help reduce opportunities for misuse. Compliance with the bylaw is an important part of a broader community effort to improve public safety.”
Wildlife control products, commonly referred to as bear spray, are designed to repel wildlife through spraying pressurized liquid containing oil made from hot peppers. It causes burning eyes, strained breathing as well as nasal and throat irritation.
The product is not intended for use on humans or in an urban setting.
Police officers and City officials have engaged business managers to ensure they understand the bylaw requirements which have received wide support.

Sidewalk maintenance and repairs taking place across Saskatoon this summer
July 7, 2026 - 10:00am
City crews will be continuing sidewalk preservation and safety repair work across Saskatoon throughout the summer and into early fall.
This work helps improve pedestrian safety, address trip hazards, enhance accessibility and extend the life of existing sidewalk infrastructure across the city.
Saskatoon maintains nearly 2,500 kilometres of sidewalks and curbs. Work locations are selected based on condition assessments, safety considerations, pedestrian use, accessibility needs and coordination with other infrastructure projects.
Sidewalk preservation work involves rehabilitating larger sections of sidewalk using treatments such as concrete grinding, concrete overlays, crack sealing and selective panel replacement. Sidewalk safety repairs address localized issues such as uneven or damaged panels that may create trip hazards.
During construction, residents may notice temporary sidewalk closures, pedestrian detours, crews working in the area and short-term parking restrictions. Access will be maintained wherever possible and disruptions will be minimized.
Residents are encouraged to follow posted signage and detours, slow down near work zones and allow extra travel time when travelling through active construction areas.
Sidewalk safety concerns can be reported to the City’s Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. More information is available at saskatoon.ca/sidewalks.

Fast flowing river damages safety buoys: public beware, buoys not in place
July 5, 2026 - 8:08am
- Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
- Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
- Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.
- Stay calm.
- Keep your head above the water.
- Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
- Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.
The City is aware the increased river flow has damaged the safety buoys between the University Bridge and the weir. The safety buoys have been dislodged and are no longer in place; however, the City is making efforts to have the buoys safely reinstalled as soon as possible.
The public is strongly warned against all recreational activities on the river, including boating, paddling, swimming, floating, fishing from the shoreline and other water-based activities.
The public is also advised to avoid approaching the river’s edge, as fast-moving water, unstable banks and submerged hazards can create dangerous situations. Pets should also be kept at a safe distance from the river.
The public boat launches beneath the Broadway Bridge and River Access points in the Meewasin Valley are closed. River safety devices have been monitored regularly during high-flow conditions.
If you witness someone in distress in the river:
If you are in distress in the river:
Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Additional Information
Over the past week, the South Saskatchewan River Basin headwaters received significant precipitation, with observed rainfall amounts generally higher than previously forecast.
This means more water is on the way into Lake Diefenbaker and downstream through Saskatoon.
The Water Security Agency advises river flows are expected to increase from the already elevated present rate of approximately 270 cubic metres per second (m³/s) increasing to approximately 770 m³/s by Monday July 6.
This flow rate is higher than what was experienced last month and are expected well into next week.
The South Saskatchewan River is very unpredictable. Aside from the changing, dangerously fast currents and unstable bottom, the river will have many additional hazards right now such as fallen branches, hidden material like broken concrete and floating debris that will pose a threat to anyone in or near the water.
Saskatoon Water
Saskatoon Water is prepared for the greater flows. While expecting more sediment and cloudiness in the river, processes are in place to handle extra clarification that may be needed. Water service is not expected to be impacted by the rising river levels.
Bridges
The rising and faster flowing water is not expected to pose any threat to bridges nor cause any significant challenges for construction projects. The City’s Asset Preservation team continues to talk with contractors working on both the Broadway Bridge and the University Bridge to ensure their staff remain safe.
Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River
As mentioned, Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits.
View weir from a safe distance
The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that can trap objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from designated areas along Spadina Crescent East.
