Saskatoon Transit is proud to announce that it received national recognition for its commitment to creating a safer environment for both employees and riders. The Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) presented Saskatoon Transit with the 2025 Corporate Award for Safety & Security for its Frontline Employee Safety public awareness campaign at its awards ceremony in Montreal on November 5, 2025.

Launched in collaboration with ATU Local 615 in 2024, the Frontline Employee Safety Plan introduced 19 initiatives to address workplace safety concerns and improve security across the transit system. A key component was a public awareness campaign featuring real frontline employees sharing their stories through videos, radio and ads. This authentic approach fostered empathy, strengthened community trust and promoted respect for transit workers.

Impact highlights

• Generated more than 14 million impressions
• Contributed to a sharp decline in operator assaults, from nine in the first half of 2024 to zero in the second.
• Improved employee perceptions of safety and customer surveys showed rising confidence in transit safety.

This award underscores Saskatoon Transit’s leadership in safety innovation and its dedication to protecting those who keep our city moving.

CUTA is the national voice for urban transit in Canada, representing transit systems, municipalities and industry suppliers. Its awards program is regarded as the benchmark for excellence in the sector, celebrating organizations that set high standards for innovation, sustainability, safety and inclusivity.

For more information, visit cutaactu.ca/2025awards/ and watch campaign videos at saskatoontransit.ca/safety.

With colder temperatures in the forecast, some green carts may not be fully emptied during collection. Frozen materials can stick inside the cart, making it difficult for them to be fully emptied.

To help reduce this issue:

• Line your cart and layer your waste with recycled newspaper, paper bags or old pizza boxes.
• Set your cart out at every collection, even if it's not full.
• If things get stuck or frozen, use a broom or shovel handle to loosen them.

Visit saskatoon.ca/cartcare for more tips and tricks. To view your collection calendar, visit saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar or download the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app.

After two consecutive years of record population growth that added 25,000 residents to Saskatoon, the City's Preliminary 2026/2027 Budget focuses on core services and infrastructure investments that keep pace with demand: repaving aging roads, expanding transit service and strengthening emergency response capacity.

The Preliminary 2026/2027 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget and the Preliminary 2026/2027 Capital Project Budget prepared by City Administration, proposes strategic investments to enhance service delivery and support for a growing city.

Proposed Strategic Investment Highlights:

• Transportation Infrastructure – $84.4M (2026) and $89.4M (2027) to resurface roadways, improve network reliability and maintain winter snow clearing standards across a larger service area.
• Transit Development – $52.7M in capital investment to expand the bus fleet and advance LINK construction, and improve transit connections between growing neighborhoods and employment, healthcare and services.
• Public Safety – Additional firefighters for Fire Hall No. 11 and enhanced Fire Apparatus Reserve funding to reduce emergency response times as the city expands.
• Operations & Community Services – Sustained funding for recreation facilities, community programs, and civic operations maintains access to services residents rely on daily.

"These investments address the infrastructure gap that rapid growth creates," says Chief Financial Officer, Clae Hack.

“From 2022 to 2024, our city added 25,000 people — more than the populations of Yorkton and Humboldt combined — and we expect another 9,000 new residents in 2025. With that kind of growth, we need more buses, more road maintenance, and more fire halls to maintain our service levels. Administration’s proposed budget invests in the infrastructure and services needed to support our growing population.”

Hack notes that while inflation and expanding service demands place pressure on the operating budget, Saskatoon still maintains one of the lowest municipal property tax environments among major western Canadian cities—supported by the City's ‘AAA/Stable’ credit rating, which has been held for 23 consecutive years.

"Our credit rating reflects disciplined financial management that keeps the City’s borrowing costs low," Hack adds. "That means valued taxpayer dollars stretch further on capital projects."

In response to the Governance & Priorities Committee’s June 2025 direction, Administration developed multiple budget scenarios that demonstrate potential reductions to the preliminary municipal property tax rate, with corresponding service adjustments. These scenarios will provide City Council with clear options during its deliberations.

The Preliminary 2026/2027 Budget represents Administration's assessment of resources required to maintain service delivery and support for Council's strategic priorities. Final budget decisions will be made by City Council during deliberations scheduled for November 25–27, 2025.

Council’s 2026/2027 Budget deliberations will be live streamed.

From neighbourhood parks to reliable services, Saskatoon residents say they appreciate the quality of life their city offers. Results from the City’s 2025 Civic Services Surveys show most residents continue to feel positive about life in Saskatoon while identifying key areas for improvement.

The Governance and Priorities Committee of City Council will receive a report detailing survey findings at its November 12 meeting.

“The surveys continue to confirm that residents value the services the City provides and feel a strong connection to their community,” says Carla Blumers, Director of Communications and Public Engagement. “At the same time, the results highlight areas where residents want to see more action, particularly around housing, homelessness and public safety.”

Eighty-two per cent of respondents say they are satisfied with life in Saskatoon, consistent with 2024. Nearly seven in 10 rate the city’s quality of life as good or very good. and more than half say things have improved or stayed the same over the past three years.

When asked about the most important issues facing Saskatoon, survey respondents say homelessness, crime and housing are priority areas. Homelessness is the top concern for 35 per cent of respondents, followed by crime and public safety at 21 per cent and housing at 11 per cent.

The majority of respondents – 80 per cent – say they are satisfied with the quality of services provided by the City. This is an increase of five percentage points from 2024. And 79 per cent say they receive good or very good value from the services provided. The survey further explored how respondents evaluated 31 City services. Top-rated City services include drinking water quality, fire protection, electrical reliability, water main break repairs and garbage collection.

Policing, snow and ice road maintenance and traffic management were identified as top priorities for improvement. This marks a shift from 2024, when only police services were highlighted as a key area for improvement.

“The 2025 results provide a strong foundation for future planning,” Blumers says. “The City will use this feedback to inform decisions on strategic priorities, budgeting and service delivery, and to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.”

Survey results are available at saskatoon.ca/civic-services-surveys.

Negative interactions on Saskatoon Transit buses have been trending down significantly since June of this year, a report to the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation shows.

The Committee is set to receive this information at its regular meeting today.

“Saskatoon Transit implemented the Frontline Employee Safety Plan in June of 2024 and we see its desired effect,” says Mike Moellenbeck, Director of Saskatoon Transit. “We have fostered a culture of safety at Transit and since implementing all the elements of the plan we have seen a significant downward trend in the number of negative interactions reported on and around Saskatoon Transit facilities.”

Image:

A negative interaction is defined as an incident that involves up to three of the following:

• Act of Aggression – an action made with the intent to cause harm or intimidate.
• Assault – physical contact made with an Operator or person
• Body Fluid – blood, spit, urine, or feces
• Fare Dispute – a passenger refusing to pay fare after being advised by the Operator
• Harassment – a continued, and unwelcome behaviour directed towards an Operator
• Intoxicated – a passenger suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs impacting passenger or operators feeling of safety
• Road Rage – exchanges by motorists directed towards the Operator
• Sexual Harassment – comments or conduct of a sexual nature
• Verbal Altercation – exchange between passenger and Operator involving shouting and/or swearing
• Weapon – Sharp or bladed objects, blunt objects, non-lethal objects that can cause harm.

The most common incidents continue to be related to social disorder issues such as intoxication (56%) and aggressive acts (15%) making up 71 per cent of all 2025 incidents.

Image:

Moellenbeck says negative interactions involving an Operator have declined since 2023 and are trending to be lower in 2025.

Image:

The report points to an innovative interagency cooperation between Saskatoon Transit and key organizations such as the Saskatoon Fire Department, Saskatoon Police Service, and the Corps. Of Commissionaires, among others, that provide necessary safety measures.

Of note, Fire Community Support workers (FCS), provide a visible uniformed presence at terminals and ride an average of 220 buses per month to support Transit and the Business Improvement Districts.

“The program’s effectiveness is demonstrated by its supportive, non-enforcement approach, with the objective of de-escalating situations and providing outreach programs to those in need,” Moellenbeck says.

Transit has also introduced new training for its frontline employees on customer service, situational awareness and de-escalation. This training ensures employees are supported in their interactions with different types of customers.

Favourably, most incidents are handled by Transit and FCS; only about 11 per cent require Police intervention.

“We’re encouraged with the results so far,” Moellenbeck says. “The investments City Council has made on public safety are making Transit a more safe and comfortable way to get around.”

McOrmond Drive will be closed from Brighton Common to Brighton Circle on Wednesday, November 5 starting at 9:00 a.m. for powerline work. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the area. This project is expected to take one day 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 fun doesn’t stop when the temperature drops! Starting November 1, admission to the Saskatoon Zoo is by donation.

See how different species adapt to the season. Arctic wolves, lynx and caribou are well adapted for the cold, while grizzlies and prairie dogs conserve energy through a mild form of hibernation called torpor. Indoors, the Small Mammal House stays bustling with ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, Goeldi’s monkeys and African crested porcupines. At the barn, Maple and Euci take it easy in their Dingo Den, keeping cozy all winter long.

The Zoo welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the Zoo Gift Shop is open Thursday through Sunday.

Saskatoon’s Broadway Bridge is set to reopen on the evening of Saturday, November 1 following a major rehabilitation project. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will once again have full access to the bridge.

“This was a major project that included deck repairs, improvements to the multi-use pathways, new asphalt, new waterproofing, new traffic barriers, arch and railing improvements and the removal of old and abandoned utilities underneath the bridge,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction.

One of the most significant changes has been the reconfiguration of the 4th Avenue and 19th Street intersection. To improve traffic safety and accommodate pedestrian movement, it is now a 'T' intersection.

“This intersection redesign supports future Saskatoon Transit Link plans and makes it easier for buses to navigate between Broadway Avenue and 19th Street,” Schmidt says. “The Broadway Bridge is a vital connection for our community, and these upgrades will serve all residents for decades to come.”

While the bridge and Spadina Crescent are reopening to vehicles and pedestrians, repairs will continue underneath the bridge. This work is not expected to impact traffic.

Saskatoon Transit will resume Route 8 service along Broadway Avenue once the bridge reopens. Service to temporary stops on Victoria Avenue and travel along the Traffic Bridge will end when regular service on Broadway resumes. Trip planning, service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
