City recognized for excellence, receives Canadian Award for Financial Reporting
April 28, 2026 - 4:15pm
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR) to the City of Saskatoon for its annual financial report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. This is the 18th time the City has received this award.
The GFOA presented the City with the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting in recognition of the City’s ability to present financial information in a clear, concise, educational and informative manner.
“We are proud to be recognized again by GFOA for strong financial reporting and our continued focus on clarity, accountability and transparency in presenting the overall year-end financial position of the City,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance. “Our Finance team works hard to meet GFOA high standards and present clear information so residents, taxpayers and stakeholders can better understand the City’s year-end position.”
To be awarded the CAnFR, a municipal government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such reports should go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and demonstrate an effort to clearly communicate the municipal government’s financial picture, enhance an understanding of financial reporting by municipal governments, and address user needs.
The CAnFR Program was established to encourage municipal governments across Canada to publish innovative financial reporting and to maintain a high standard of quality recognized amongst peers.
The attainment of this prestigious award represents a significant achievement by the City of Saskatoon and its financial management team.

Crews cleaning up City streets following heavy snowfall
April 24, 2026 - 2:15pm
Following approximately 10 centimetres of snow accumulation, and with more in the forecast, a snow event has been declared. Contracted equipment and operators will be deployed to support City crews in maintaining safety and mobility on Saskatoon’s priority streets, including Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive, 22nd Street, 8th Street and College Drive.
Work will continue day and night, with crews balancing immediate safety priorities with efficient use of resources to maintain driving conditions across the city.
Residents should expect difficult travel conditions, including reduced traction due to icy surfaces beneath the snow, as well as reduced visibility and drifting. Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time and avoid unnecessary travel if conditions worsen.
Given the recent amount of snow accumulation, the Civic Operations Centre snow management facility is nearing capacity. It remains open but could be closed on short notice. Due to muddy conditions, the Wanuskewin and Central Avenue snow disposal sites are currently closed.
Drivers are reminded to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and give snow removal equipment the space required to operate safely.
More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
SUV collision with a Transit bus on Taylor Street overpass at Circle Drive
April 24, 2026 - 1:10pm
A Sport Utility Vehicle and a Saskatoon Transit bus collided around 8 a.m. on April 24, 2026 on the Taylor Street overpass at Circle Drive. Emergency responders attended and assessed one individual at the scene for minor injuries.
Weather and road conditions are believed to have been a factor. Saskatoon Transit will provide on-board video footage to the Saskatoon Police Service for its investigation. A separate internal investigation will be conducted to determine if there are measures needed to help prevent any future incidents.
A cost estimate of the damage to the bus is not immediately available.
Saskatoon Transit has a Critical Incident Response process with post incident support for the staff involved, including follow-up wellness checks.

City crews prepared as heavy snow, blowing wind and slippery conditions forecasted
April 22, 2026 - 2:30pm
Environment and Climate Change Canada forecasts a severe weather system for Saskatoon beginning Wednesday. Precipitation is expected to start as rain, transitioning to freezing rain then changing to snow early Thursday morning.
Snowfall is expected to be heavy and rapidly accumulating throughout the day on Thursday, with total accumulation in the range of 15 to 20 cm. Most of the snowfall is predicted Thursday, tapering to lighter snow and flurries into Friday morning. Gusting winds of 70 to 80 km/h are expected to create blowing snow, drifting and widespread reduced visibility.
These conditions are likely to have a significant impact on travel. Icy surfaces beneath accumulating snow are possible and will reduce traction. Drivers will need longer stopping distances. Blowing snow and drifting may lead to sudden visibility changes, particularly on open roadways such as Circle or McOrmond Drive and other priority routes.
Residents should prepare for slower travel, rapidly changing road conditions and potential delays on both Thursday and Friday. Drivers are strongly encouraged to adjust to conditions, allow extra travel time, maintain a safe following distance and avoid unnecessary travel if conditions deteriorate.
Plows, graders and sanders will be on the roads during and after the snow falls. While the snow is falling crews focus on high-traffic routes such as Circle Drive, Idylwyld Drive, 22nd Street, 8th Street and College Drive to maintain safe and passable conditions. Operations will continue day and night as conditions evolve.
Drivers are reminded to watch for blue and amber flashing lights and to give snow removal equipment the space required to operate safely.
Operational planning will account for both the intensity of this storm and conditions following the event. Crews will balance immediate safety priorities with efficient use of resources to maintain safe driving conditions across the city.
If a snow event is declared, residents will be able to follow snow grading progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
Saskatoon Transit will monitor and adjust service as needed; however, service can be delayed or interrupted by collisions, blown-in streets and bus stops that are not accessible due to snowfall and drifts. Stay informed: check Saskatoon Transit service alerts for detours or temporary bus stop closures and view real-time bus locations on third-party apps like Transit and Google Transit on desktop. Pin the routes you use often and receive service alert push notifications.

City and contractor crews out in full force after major snowfall
April 17, 2026 - 7:10am
The City of Saskatoon has declared a Snow Event with 15 centimetres of snow accumulation this morning. Snow clearing activities will focus on driving lanes and warmer temperatures this afternoon and tomorrow will shorten the clean-up period as the snow melts.
24 graders and 4 plows are working to clear snow from priority streets like freeways, arterial roads and collector streets. Snow will be stored on medians, boulevards and parking lanes to maintain mobility. 10 sanders are working to improve traction in icy areas, and 6 sidewalk plows are active clearing City-owned pathways and sidewalks.
Saskatoon Transit will continue to monitor conditions and adjust service as needed. Delays or disruptions may occur due to collisions, drifting snow or inaccessible bus stops. Riders are encouraged to check Saskatoon Transit service alerts and use third-party apps such as Transit or Google Transit with route notifications enabled for real-time updates.
Drivers should adjust driving habits by slowing down and increasing following distances between vehicles. Watch for blue and yellow flashing lights on road equipment and give operators the space they need to operate.
The status of snow clearing throughout the city can be monitored through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s level of service, can be found at saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay in the know by checking the latest Snow & Ice Report posted to saskatoon.ca/snowreport.

City crews prepared for significant spring snowfall
April 15, 2026 - 2:30pm
Environment & Climate Change Canada is forecasting a significant snowfall beginning overnight Wednesday into early Thursday morning, with as much as 10-15cm of accumulation in Saskatoon. Snowfall is anticipated to be steady and rapidly accumulating through the day Thursday, with gusty winds creating areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility. Heavier snow is expected to taper off Thursday evening, with light flurries possible into Friday morning.
Given the expected accumulation and blowing snow, residents should anticipate slower travel and changing road conditions. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to conditions, allow extra travel time and maintain a safe following distance.
Plows, graders and sanders will focus on Priority Streets such as Circle Drive and Idylwyld Drive to maintain safe and passable conditions. Crews will continue working through the day as conditions evolve. Watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and give operators the room they need to work safely.
Operational planning will also consider forecasted warmer temperatures following the storm, which are expected to contribute to melting. Crews will balance immediate safety needs with efficient use of resources while maintaining safe driving conditions across the city.
If a snow event is declared, residents will be able to follow snow grading progress through the Priority Street Snow Grading Map. More information, including the City’s winter road maintenance service level, is available at saskatoon.ca/snow.
Saskatoon Transit will monitor and adjust service as needed; however, service can be delayed or interrupted by collisions, blown-in streets and bus stops that are not accessible due to snowfall and drifts. Stay informed: check Saskatoon Transit service alerts for detours or temporary bus stop closures and view real-time bus locations on third-party apps like Transit and Google Transit on desktop. Pin the routes you use often and receive service alert push notifications.

City and kakisiwew-ochapowace nation partner to expand recreation access
April 9, 2026 - 11:30am
- Leisure Centres: Lakewood, Lawson, Shaw, Cosmo, Saskatoon Field House and Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre (once renovations are complete)
- Outdoor Pools: Lathey, Riversdale, Mayfair and George Ward
- Indoor Rinks: ACT, Archibald, Cosmo and Lions Arenas (public skating only)
The City of Saskatoon and kakisiwew-ochapowace nation have entered into a one‑year Letter of Agreement to enhance access to City-operated recreation facilities for kakisiwew-ochapowace nation members living in Saskatoon.
This agreement is about removing barriers and creating more opportunities for people to come together in spaces that support health, wellness and connection,” said Mayor Cynthia Block. “We value our relationship with kakisiwew-ochapowace nation and this partnership reflects our shared commitment to reconciliation, collaboration and ensuring recreational opportunities are accessible to everyone who calls Saskatoon home.”
Through this agreement, kakisiwew-ochapowace nation is allowing members to participate in drop‑in programs at the City Leisure Centres, Outdoor Pools and Indoor Rinks. This initiative strengthens community wellness, supports inclusive access and reflects the City’s commitment to meaningful relationships with First Nations and to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
“This partnership is about making sure our families have access to healthy living - spaces where they can be active, spend time together, and live miyo-pimâtisiwin, a good life. kakisiwew-ochapowace nation is excited about this partnership, and we are grateful to the City of Saskatoon for working with us in a good way to support the well-being of our citizens,” says Tyler George, Headperson for kakisiwew-ochapowace nation.
kakisiwew-ochapowace nation members will have access to drop‑in programming at the following City‑operated facilities:
The partnership provides discounted bulk admission rates for Leisure Centres and Outdoor Pools and standard admissions rates for Indoor Rinks. All admissions have been pre-purchased by kakisiwew-ochapowace nation to ensure their members can access drop-in programming without cost at the point of entry. Initiated through kakisiwew-ochapowace nation’s proactive outreach, this collaboration reinforces a shared commitment to accessible, community‑focused recreation, and the City welcomes conversations with other First Nations interested in exploring similar opportunities.
Ice melting on recreational ponds and South Saskatchewan River
April 9, 2026 - 9:00am
As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions.
Ice thickness is no longer suitable for winter recreational use. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe. Fire crews will be updating the posted signage this week to read “No Skating” at each recreational storm pond.
Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including removing personal belongings, as well as user safety.
Additionally, ice on the South Saskatchewan River has also started to melt. The ice that covers this body of water is unpredictable and is therefore never safe for winter recreational use. Residents are asked to never venture out onto the ice that covers sections of the South Saskatchewan River.
Community members are advised to always exercise an elevated level of caution when around any large body of water. Keep a close watch on children and pets when visiting trails, parks, or off-leash areas that may run adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River or a storm water retention pond.
For more information regarding the Recreational Uses of Storm Water Retention Ponds policy, visit saskatoon.ca/ponds.
National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge; flags to be lowered April 9
April 9, 2026 - 8:30am
On April 9, Canada will observe the National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. This day commemorates the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Corps during the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917.
In honour of this significant event, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will be flown at half-mast in respect of Canada’s veterans, and to remember the nearly 3,600 soldiers who lost their lives and more than 7,000 who were wounded on that fateful day.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked the first time that all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought in a battle together in the First World War against a common enemy. The Battle is considered by many to be a turning point for our country and the beginning of Canada’s march towards nationhood.
REMINDER: City parking pay stations upgrade ongoing
April 9, 2026 - 8:00am
- More Convenient: The new pay stations will accept multiple payment options, including debit and credit card tap, Apple and Google Pay and digital wallets, making parking quicker and easier.
- More Reliable: Improved hardware means fewer breakdowns and faster transactions, reducing wait times. A pilot station was tested downtown over two winters with no technical issues.
- More Accessible: Larger, full-colour screens and a user-friendly design make the stations easier for everyone to use.
- More Efficient: Real-time data will help us monitor usage and availability, so we can make better decisions about parking policy and enforcement.
The City is upgrading all public pay parking stations to improve your parking experience and to better serve our community. While the current stations have helped manage the City’s pay parking for years, it's time for an upgrade to meet the needs of a modern and growing Saskatoon.
Here’s why we’re upgrading:
If you do not have tap functionality, you can still pay using coins, the ParkedIn Parking App, a City Parking Card or by scanning the QR code located on the pay station.
Upgrades began summer 2025 and will be completed in fall 2026. Stations will remain operational during the transition, though brief interruptions may occur. If a station has been temporarily removed and covered, please use the nearest station in the area to pay for parking or the ParkedIn Parking App.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we modernize our city’s parking infrastructure!
For more information please visit saskatoon.ca/payparking.

City Compost Depot set to open on Monday, April 13
April 7, 2026 - 10:00am
- Elm wood
- sawdust
- treated and untreated lumber
- building materials
- garbage
- any animal waste
- food waste
The City’s Compost Depot is set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off excess yard waste at no cost. This helps keep yard waste out of the landfill which the City turns into high-quality, nutrient-rich compost and mulch used in Saskatoon’s parks and community gardens.
Residents are also welcome to take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street where they can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, while supplies last. Accessibility will be dictated by site conditions. Compost pick-up will also be available at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC), located at 42 Valley Road. Note: excess yard waste can not be dropped off at the MRC.
The Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the final vehicles being admitted at 5:50 p.m.
All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #9844).
The Compost Depot does NOT accept:
Elm wood can be dropped off at the MRC’s Scale & Pay for free. Elm wood must be separated from other materials or regular landfill fees will apply. Learn more about elm wood here and help stop the spread of Dutch elm disease.
Selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can be placed in Green Carts.
For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/compostdepot.
