CHANGES TO SMOKING REGULATIONS TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1, 2016
Today City Council approved changes to Bylaw No. 8286, The Smoking Control Bylaw, banning smoking in and around the City’s outdoor public spaces, including parks, sportsfields, public squares, and recreation areas.
“The bylaw is the result of research, public feedback, and the City’s commitment to the promotion of a smoke-free environment to safeguard citizens and staff against the harmful impacts,” says Lynne Lacroix, Director of Recreation & Community Development. “It also addresses issues of fire safety and littering.”
Starting January 1, 2016, smoking will be restricted on all municipal properties under Bylaw No. 8286. More information will be shared with City staff and residents in the coming weeks regarding where smoking is allowed. Provisions regulating electronic cigarettes and their equivalents will also be presented to City Council in the near future.
"The effects of passive smoking, which includes second- and third-hand smoke, is particularly concerning in playgrounds, parks, and sportsfields where our youngest citizens gather to play and have fun," says Lacroix. “We want to ensure a healthy outdoor environment and support for active living and wellness for all.”
In addition to signage, the public will be reminded of the new smoking restrictions through a public awareness and education campaign.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA IN BRIEF
October 22, 2015 - 3:57am
For October 26, 2015 City Council Meeting
6.1 Prohibition of Smoking in City-Operated Public Places
City Council will be asked to:
*consider Bylaw No. 9312, the Smoking Control Amendment Bylaw, 2004 to expand current smoking prohibitions to include outdoor public places owned or operated by the City.
Additional Information:
*In August, City Council resolved the expanded prohibitions be enforced through bylaw and the City Solicitor prepare the necessary bylaw amendment.
*The proposed bylaw will come into force on January 1, 2016.
*Another report before the end of the year will be brought to City Council which further amends the Bylaw to prohibit the use of electronic cigarettes in all places where smoking is currently prohibited. The prohibitions, as with smoking, will not allow for an exemption in vaping shops.
8.1.1 Application for Municipal Heritage Property Designation – Mann House
City Council will be asked to:
*request the City Solicitor bring forward a bylaw to designate the property, at 1040 University Drive, as a Municipal Heritage Property (with designation limited to the exterior of the building).
*request that all required notices be prepared for advertising and that $2,500 be allocated from the Heritage Reserve Fund to supply and install a recognition plaque.
Additional Information:
*The Mann House is located on a corner lot in the Varsity View neighbourhood and is a one- and three-quarter storey dwelling built in 1912.
*The heritage value of the Mann House resides in its long association with Owen Mann, a long-time member of City Council. Other notable individuals who lived at this location include: Thomas Watson, physician and head of the Saskatoon Cancer Clinic; and W.E. Walter, a Special Representative for the Canadian National Railway (CNR) Colonization Department.
*A formal evaluation was conducted and Administration is recommending the designation.
8.1.2 Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women Monument
Council will be asked to:
*approve the front plaza of Saskatoon Police Headquarters as the location of the Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women Monument.
Additional Information:
*The SPS and Saskatoon Tribal Council partnered to commission a commemorative artwork to remember missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
*SPS and STC selected Saskatchewan Artist Lionel Peyachew to design the monument.
8.1.7 Meewasin Valley Authority Northeast Swale Master Plan
City Council will be asked to:
*approve in principle the Meewasin Northeast Swale Master Plan.
Additional Information:
*Meewasin has prepared a Plan for the Northeast Swale within city limits to support its objectives of conservation, education, and passive recreation.
*The Plan includes a significant number of proposed amenities: the Greenway (trail and transition area adjacent to urban development), trails, boardwalks, parking, facilities (benches, picnic areas, waste receptacles, etc.), signage, access control, and lighting.
*Development of the Plan has been a collaborative effort between Meewasin, the City, key stakeholders, and the public.
*Meewasin has estimated the total capital cost to implement the Plan at $14 million, split between the swale area proper ($6.1 million) and the Greenway ($8.0 million). An implementation plan and funding strategy will be developed that will also consider annual operating impact (estimated at $186,000 for the City and $192,500 for Meewasin).
8.3.1 2016 Neighbourhood Traffic Management Reviews
City Council will be asked:
*that the eight neighbourhoods selected for 2016 traffic reviews, as part of the Neighbourhood Traffic management Program, include Stonebridge, Willowgrove, Hampton Village, Silverspring, Grosvenor Park, Lakeridge, Sutherland, and Parkridge.
Additional Information:
*The neighbourhoods selected are based on Councillor input, collision history, number of concerns received and number of existing temporary traffic calming devices.
*The traffic reviews are intended to address local traffic concerns such as speeding, shortcutting, pedestrian accommodation, and parking.
9.1.1 Boychuk Drive and Highway 16 Interchange Funding Application
City Council will be asked:
*To support the application for a Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component grant for Highways and Major Road infrastructure, for the Boychuk and Highway 16 Interchange, from the New Building Canada Fund, and City Council agrees to meet legislated standards, to meet the terms and conditions of the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component program, to conduct an open tendering process, to manage the construction of the project, to fund the municipal share of the construction cost, to fund ongoing operation and maintenance costs, and to follow any mitigation measures as required by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan).
Additional Information:
*A specific resolution from City Council is required for the application.
*Once approved by the senior levels of government, the City will receive a letter confirming formal approval or approval-in-principle. The City can then proceed to award the project.
*The interchange is estimated to cost $45.15M of which $29.73M has been applied for under the PTIC program. The remaining funding will come from the Interchange Levy and the reallocation of the special levy collected for the Rosewood flyover project that has been cancelled.

This will be the fourth and final round of public engagement for the Growth Plan.
