The Downtown Transit Terminal on 23rd Street will be closed between 2nd and 3rd avenues on Wednesday, June 5, at 7:00 a.m. for roadway patching following a water main break repair last week.

Please note the sidewalks of the existing terminal will remain open, and the Transit Customer Service Centre will maintain regular hours of operation. Thank you for your patience and for following traffic detour signs for everyone’s safety.

Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Two of the five zebras from the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (one gelding and one female) are embarking on an adventure as they settle into their new home at Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Koffee and LeeLoo have been paired separately from the rest of the herd since last fall due to a medical issue. The two have since become a bonded pair and a decision was made not to reintroduce them to the other herd.

“Zebra males can become very territorial, especially within a herd setting,” says Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “While we are sad to see Koffee and LeeLoo go, we are confident the decision to relocate the pair to another CAZA accredited facility is the best outcome for the zebras”.

All required permits, veterinary check and documentation were completed prior to the transfer. The zebras were transferred by a licensed, approved animal transport company and arrived safely in Moncton earlier this week.

Marty, Misty and Shadow have become a cohesive trio and will remain at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. The Zoo has also completed the expansion of the zebras’ winter habitat by adding almost 900 square feet of indoor space for the gelding and two females to enjoy. The expansion was fully funded by the Province of Saskatchewan and provides ample space for the zebras to enjoy during the winter months.

A reminder, the Zoo will close at 1 p.m. on Friday, June 7 for the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation’s annual fundraising event ZOOGALA. The Zoo will reopen Saturday, June 8, at 9 a.m. The Forestry Farm Park will remain open for regular hours of operation.

Visit saskatoon.ca/zoo to plan your next visit or learn more about the Zoo Season Pass.

Faithfull Avenue will be closed between 64th and 66th streets starting on Wednesday, June 5, at 7:00 a.m. for construction. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone.

The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce a new, convenient way for residents to dispose of their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) safely and responsibly. Starting June 5, 2024, residents can drop off their HHW every Wednesday at the Material Recovery Centre.

The new weekly collection program is designed to make it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals, and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.

HHW will be accepted every Wednesday from 8 am to 4:45 pm at the Material Recovery Centre, located at 42 Valley Road.

The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reminders: 

• The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
• Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to the participants.
• Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and contents are clearly marked. 
• To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal. 
• There are no public washrooms available at the Material Recovery Centre.

Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!

The City of Saskatoon is proud to announce the successful completion of the first year of its city-wide curbside organics program. Since its launch in May 2023, the Green Cart program has contributed to a notable increase in the City’s waste diversion rate, which has risen from 23.5 per cent to 33.3 per cent. This is the first significant increase in a decade, highlighting the program’s impact on the City’s waste diversion efforts.

“We are incredibly pleased with the community's response to the Green Cart program and the substantial increase in our diversion rates,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water & Waste Operations. “Moving forward, we will continue to refine and improve the program, which includes a proposal to adjust collection frequencies to better meet seasonal needs and address the remaining diversion potential in black carts.”

On Tuesday, June 4, Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services (EU&CS) will hear details of the Green Cart program's performance.

The Solid Waste Reduction and Diversion Plan projected that the annual diversion from green carts would be between 15,000 and 22,000 tonnes per year. Since program launch, more than 20,452 tonnes of organic waste have successfully been diverted from the landfill.  Diverting organics from landfill reduces Greenhouse Gas emissions. The Green Cart program avoided 13,374 tonnes of CO2e that would have been released as methane gas if the same materials were landfilled. This is the equivalent of removing 2,972 passenger cars from the roadway. 

There is still opportunity to increase the City’s diversion rates; however. Recent waste characterization audits reveal that the average black cart still contains approximately 33 per cent organic material. The City will continue its education campaigns to improve green cart use, ensuring residents are well-informed about the benefits and proper practices of organic waste diversion.

There were also noted seasonal variations in the program's performance. During winter months, set-out rates and the amount of collected organic waste were significantly lower.

To optimize efficiency and service delivery, Administration is recommending a reduction in the winter collection frequency to once every four weeks between December 1 and March 31 each year. This option is expected to provide savings of $162,000 annually and the adjustment in service could begin December 2024. No change in collection frequency during the spring/summer/fall season is being recommended at this time.

To learn more about the Green Cart program, visit saskatoon.ca/greencart.

Following a discussion of several options, City Council today approved the purchase of a used washroom trailer to provide a staffed, all-day service for the Riversdale and Pleasant Hill neighbourhoods. Council also approved funding to provide staffing at a riverbank washroom location and for extra public access to drinking water.  

“Like many other communities in Canada, Saskatoon is being impacted by an increase in residents who are experiencing homelessness,” says Pamela Goulden-McLeod, Director of Emergency Management. “We’re encouraged with Council’s decision because there’s been a widening gap in services and resources -- including access to public washrooms and drinking water -- for residents in need.” 

The options are expected to cost approximately $700,000, with the money coming from the Reserve for Capital Expenditures. Administration will be diligently looking for cost-saving options. Two community partners have expressed an interest in working with the City on this project. These partnerships are expected to impact some of the planned resources and will lower the project's cost. 

Council heard the City already provides public washroom options in neighbourhoods throughout Saskatoon. The approved options would help increase access to washrooms in neighbourhoods that do not have this service and, in turn, would minimize the overall impact on one single washroom location. The overnight winter warming location that operated at St. Mary’s Hall provided a washroom facility. With the seasonal closure of the warming centre, Pleasant Hill and Riversdale do not have an all-day service – which was in great demand. 

“There is significant need for washroom resources and one location could be overwhelmed quickly,” says Goulden-McLeod. “This was learned from the post-action debrief regarding the St. Mary’s overnight warming location this winter.” 

Goulden-McLeod says there is a cost saving with a used trailer, and if needed, the purchased washroom trailer could then be used for many other functions within the community. 

The washroom trailer is expected to be available in about a week’s time. The Riverbank location, once confirmed, could be staffed in June.  

Council also committed to fund a continuation of misting tents to help prevent heat-stroke and heat-related illnesses, critical to the City’s Extreme Heat Emergency Response Plan. A pilot project for a water-bottle filling station last year at the Westside Clinic was successful; Council now supports three new water bottle filling stations on top of the established distribution of bottled water for those in need.

The 108th Annual Decoration Day and Memorial Service will be celebrated at the Soldiers’ Cairn located at the Woodlawn Cemetery on Sunday, June 2, 2024. The annual event provides citizens with an opportunity to pay tribute to those brave individuals who lost their lives in the service of our country. 

The day will begin with a parade at 1:45 p.m. that includes Legion members, ANAVET members, and members of the Armed Forces, starting from the Woodlawn Cemetery Office gate (north end of Memorial Avenue) and proceeding into the cemetery to the Memorial Cairn. Members of the public are welcome to join in the parade. The service will start at 2:00 p.m. 

Cool off at any of the 22 City of Saskatoon spray pads located around the city. Spray pads will open for the season on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 10 a.m., and will be operational daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Please note, in June (Monday to Friday), spray pads located near school grounds are set to turn off 5 minutes before recess and lunch breaks and will resume 5 minutes after the breaks are over. Shut-off times will vary according to individual school schedules. All spray pads are activated by push buttons located near the spray features. The bell schedules are listed on the Where to Play Google Map posted at saskatoon.ca/spraypads.

As part of the City’s Water Conservation Strategy, the City is implementing actions to reduce water usage and costs related to the operation of spray pads. In year two of the spray pad water conservation project, three spray pads will be updated with a combination of misters and lower-flow nozzles, which will save water without compromising the spray pad experience. The three spray pads that will be updated are in Briarwood, Stonebridge, and River Heights. These upgrades are expected to reduce water use by 20-60% while maintaining 100% of the fun. Water conservation work at the spray pads began in 2023 and helped save 6.4 million litres of water – the same amount of water used by 33 households in a year. Trials from the 2023 pilot are now being incorporated to test newer nozzle combinations in 2024.

To find a spray pad location near you, check out the Where to Play Google Map at saskatoon.ca/spraypads or call 306-975-3378.

The City of Saskatoon is implementing 30 km/h speed limits on select neighbourhood bikeways this summer, as part of an ongoing commitment to improving road safety and comfort for all users. 

A new policy pertaining to reduced speed limits for neighbourhood bikeways was approved by City Council in December 2023. 

“This change aims to enhance safety and create a more comfortable environment for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation. “Neighbourhood bikeways are designed for streets with lower vehicle volumes and speeds, promoting safer shared road use."  

Two neighbourhood bikeways will have reduced speed limits implemented this summer: 23rd Street West between Vancouver Avenue North and Avenue C North, Avenue I between the north and south legs of 23rd Street West, and 14th Street East between Saskatchewan Crescent East and Cumberland Avenue.  

The traffic bylaw was amended in February of 2024 for these two neighbourhood bikeways. 

The 14th Street Neighbourhood Bikeway was identified in the Active Transportation Plan and connects the Meewasin Trail to several residential neighbourhoods, as far east as College Park. The 23rd Street Neighbourhood Bikeway, established as a priority cycling route in 2011, offers a connection for cyclists traveling between downtown and Blairmore.  

Signage for these two neighbourhood bikeways is being installed and the reduced posted speed limit of 30 km/h will be in effect on July 5, 2024. Signage for future neighbourhood bikeways will be installed after traffic calming measures are constructed. 

The City understands that these changes can be challenging, but they are part of the broader efforts to enhance safety and make Saskatoon more livable for everyone. For more information on neighbourhood bikeways visit saskatoon.ca/bikewayspeedlimits.

The City of Saskatoon celebrated its partnerships with eight First Nations at a special meeting and Flag Ceremony this morning. There are 10 Urban Reserves within Saskatoon’s boundaries. The first Urban Reserve and Municipal Servicing Agreement was signed in 1988 with Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, and the most recent one was signed in 2023 with Lac La Ronge Indian Band.

Other First Nations with Urban Reserves in Saskatoon are: Kahkewistahaw First Nation; One Arrow First Nation; Red Pheasant Cree Nation; Thunderchild First Nation; Yellow Quill First Nation; and Pelican Lake First Nation.

Urban Reserves benefit both First Nations and the City in creating opportunities in economic growth, offering employment opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and fulfilling Treaty Land Entitlements. These investments help create prosperity for everyone and are a model of good partnership and cooperation.

The Flag installation ceremony occurred at the start of this month’s City Council meeting to recognize the distinct order of First Nations and Métis governments through the Treaty 6 Flag and the Métis Flag. First Nations with urban reserves, additional First Nations represented by the Saskatoon Tribal Council, and Métis Nation-Saskatchewan Western Region 2A along with Locals in Saskatoon participated in the Flag ceremony. 

Métis Nation-Saskatchewan Western Region 2A Locals in Saskatoon are Central Urban Métis Federation Local #165, Victoria Racette Local IIA, Saskatoon Métis Local # 126, and Gabriel Dumont Local #11. The additional First Nations represented by the Saskatoon Tribal Council recognized at the Flag ceremony are: Kinistin Saulteaux Nation; Mistawasis Nêhiyawak ; Muskoday First Nation; and Whitecap Dakota First Nation.

About Urban Reserves and Treaty Land Entitlement

Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) is a process used by the Federal and Provincial governments to resolve outstanding obligations to First Nations who did not receive all of the Reserve land to which they were entitled under Treaty. TLE has enabled First Nations to purchase land and transfer it to Reserve status. The City of Saskatoon welcomes these investments in the city and the region, which support the economic, environmental, social, and cultural well-being of the entire community. Before an urban Reserve is created, the City of Saskatoon and the First Nation sign agreements that cover commitments to work together, municipal services, fees for services, and compatible standards for development.

For more information on the First Nations who have land holdings or reserves within the City of Saskatoon and region, go to www.saskatoon.ca/business-development/planning/programs-projects/urban-reserves-treaty-land-entitlement

As the weather gets warmer, many are looking for opportunities to get outside and the City’s Dog Parks are a great place for dogs and owners to get exercise and socialize. The City currently operates 13 dog parks at various locations throughout Saskatoon. Each Dog Park has unique natural and manmade amenities that provide different experiences for dogs and their owners to enjoy. From small urban parks such as Pierre Radisson and Caswell to large rural spaces like Chief Whitecap and Hampton Village and even dedicated spaces for small dogs at Hyde and Charlottetown, there are a variety of off-leash spaces available to explore.

In 2023, the Animal Services team completed a number of Dog Park upgrades including adding the two Dog Parks dedicated for small dogs, installing concrete pads at the entrances to 8 Dog Parks to prevent soil erosion and posting new signage reminding users to be responsible pet owners when visiting off-leash areas.

For 2024, new shared pathway signs and pathway markings will be installed this spring at Silverwood Dog Park. Silverwood Dog Park features an asphalt pathway that is shared by pedestrians, cyclists, dogs and their owners. Markings down the middle of the pathway will separate traffic flow, providing a split roadway for users to travel though the park space. The Animal Services team would like to remind park users to share the pathway, follow the markings and posted signs, be aware of your surroundings and travel at a slow speed when cycling through this shared space.

Dog owners are reminded of their responsibilities when enjoying off-leash time with their pet. Here are some reminders for a safe and successful off-leash experience:

• All dogs must have a valid Pet License.
• Bring a leash. Use when entering and exiting the Dog Park.
• Keep your dog in sight and under control. Off-leash doesn’t mean unattended.
• Pick up your dog’s poop and drop it in available waste containers.
• Be prepared! Attend a free Behaviour Awareness Training session held throughout the summer at Dog Parks to learn basic training tips, recognizing and understanding dog behaviour, how to have a more PAWsitive off-leash experience with your dog and more. Dates will be announced online.

Most importantly, have fun! When dogs and owners play by the rules, everyone has a good time. If you have concerns regarding nuisance behaviour of a dog while at the Dog Park, contact the Saskatoon Animal Control Agency at 306-385-PETS.

For more information on Dog Parks, visit saskatoon.ca/dogparks.

Construction is getting underway on the City of Saskatoon’s (City) fourth Flood Control Strategy (FCS) project. Once operational in 2025, flooding during intense summer storms will be mitigated around Early Drive and Tucker Crescent in the Brevoort Park neighbourhood.

“This project includes new storm sewer pipes and underground storm water storage,” says Russ Munro, Director of Saskatoon Water. “Rainwater that typically pools and floods area properties during intense summer storms, will now flow into underground storage tanks that are being installed in Brevoort Park South.”

The storage tanks will temporarily hold the water which will slowly drain through the storm sewer system to the South Saskatchewan River. The project will also include new landscaping once the tanks are installed. Most of Brevoort Park South is fenced off and will remain closed for several months following construction to give the new sod and trees adequate time to establish.

The FCS was approved by City Council in 2018. The Government of Canada is contributing 40% of the eligible construction costs up to a maximum of $21.6 million toward all nine FCS projects. The City is funding the remaining construction costs through the Storm Water Utility Capital Program and revenue generated from Storm Water Utility charges.

FCS projects to date include the W.W. Ashley District dry storm pond, which opened in 2022, and the Churchill Park dry storm pond completed in 2023. Five more FCS projects will be built in Saskatoon’s most flood-prone neighbourhoods over the next three years.

For more information about the FCS and future project locations, visit saskatoon.ca/floodplan.

Brighton Boulevard will be closed between Brighton Common and Taskamanwa Street starting Thursday, May 23 at 7:00 a.m. for top lift construction.

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 City is pleased to report that its first round of cart swaps is ahead of schedule, with nearly 11,000 smaller black carts already changed out city-wide. With initial cart swaps now complete in 40 neighbourhoods and counting, we are asking households that have requested a smaller cart, but have not yet received it, to review the online calendar, as the schedule has changed considerably.

If you missed your initial cart swap, the City’s contracted vendor will be returning prior to  June 15 to attempt a second swap. The vendor will be attempting additional swaps in the first two weeks of June and dates specific to neighbourhoods will not be listed online. Make sure to roll out your existing cart on each garbage collection day before 7 a.m. and leave it out until 6 p.m. until the cart swap window closes on June 15. Existing carts must be left at their collection location (front street or back lane, depending on your address) to be emptied. The smaller cart will not be delivered unless your existing cart is retrieved. If you miss the follow-up cart swap attempts, you will need to resubmit your request during the next intake period and will continue to be charged your existing cart rate.

Requests for the second round of cart swaps will begin on July 8, 2024 for those considering a smaller cart or who need to resubmit their request.  

Visit saskatoon.ca/cartswap for all the details and to see when your neighbourhood is getting swapped. To learn more about the Black Cart program, visit saskatoon.ca/blackcart or call Customer Care at 306-975-2476.

With the late spring freeze and thaw we've had, and the increase in potholes, City crews are now attacking the bumpy roads with round-the-clock repairs.  There have already been more potholes reported this year than in the entire season in recent years. 

While City crews have been out repairing potholes since the snow melted, rain has occasionally delayed these efforts. However, crews have been on the streets day and night, seven days a week. Crews are working to repair potholes throughout the city and are committed to this aggressive approach to fixing potholes and maintaining safe roadways for all residents. 

Residents are encouraged to continue reporting potholes to the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 and on the Report a Pothole Map, where you can view reported and completed potholes.  

Potholes that may cause injury or vehicle damage are considered an emergency. They are marked as High Priority on the Report a Pothole Map and will be addressed within 24 to 72 hours, weather permitting. Lower priority potholes will be repaired next to maintain the road network's longevity while prioritizing resident safety. 

Remember to reduce speed and watch for crews for everyone's safety. For more information about potholes and utility cut repairs, visit saskatoon.ca/potholes. 

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.

The City has released its 2023 Report on Service, Savings, Sustainability (SSS). The SSS Report has been released annually since 2005 when City Council directed Administration to prepare a report annually on efficiencies implemented in the previous year. The report highlights the ways the City’s business lines teams worked together in the preceding year to:

• capture savings
• enhance services for residents, and
• make improvements in the area of sustainability

“This type of report is not one that is done in many other municipalities,” says Celene Anger, the City’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “This year’s report includes more than 130 stories from business areas across the City which feature ways we have both improved and streamlined services without compromising quality.”

The report identifies $4.35 million in total savings. These savings were realized through cost avoidance, cost reductions, and time savings. 

The 2023 SSS Report is available at saskatoon.ca/SSSreport. As well, you will also find a video on this webpage that provides a preview of the full report, highlighting four of the stories featured in 2023
