The City of Saskatoon’s Call for Applications campaign for 2020, seeking new members from all across our diverse communities for City Boards, Committees and Commissions closes this Friday, October 4, 2019.

City Council, at its regular business meeting held on September 30, 2019 opted to maintain the list of acceptable items, minus black plastics and polycoat (e.g. disposable coffee cups), as recommend by the Administration. This decision comes during a wave of uncertainty in the global recycling markets, driven by restrictions imposed by the Chinese Government, falling oil prices, and weak market prices in the plastics market.

A Queen’s Bench judge has allowed the owner of a Briarwood home – already slated for demolition – more time to file information and evidence to support the property owner’s request for an interim injunction or delay on the home’s demolition.

An injunction has not been granted.

Rather, Mr. Justice R.W. Elson today, ordered the owner of 166 Beechdale Crescent to bring back a proper application on Friday, October 11, 2019.

33rd Street between Avenue H and Avenue I will be fully closed starting at 7:00 a.m.

The City of Saskatoon has recovered roughly $400 thousand in funds that in August were directed to a fraudster’s bank account through a fraud scheme. 

City Manager Jeff Jorgenson says the City continues to actively work with law enforcement,  banks, and its legal team to recover the remainder of the stolen money.

“There is an important court hearing taking place this week in Toronto,” Jorgenson says.  “It’s expected there will be further movement on the return of more funds following that hearing. For now, the funds still remain frozen in various bank accounts.”

The City wants to warn residents about an identified scam involving phone calls made from a 1-877 number appearing to come from Saskatoon Light and Power.

The message aggressively threatens to disconnect the resident’s power if payment for what they are saying is 'an overdue account' is not made immediately. The scammer states that the resident's account has been overdue for a number of months, then stating the amount owed.
