Winterization of park irrigation systems underway
September 9, 2025 - 10:00am
On September 1, City crews began the annual winterization of the 480 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks and along roadway streetscapes. Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure.
Irrigation winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation system, removing any residual water so it will not freeze within the underground pipes. The force of compressed air exiting through sprinkler heads may pick up and propel debris within the work zone.
To ensure public safety, residents are asked to follow all signage at work sites, and to stay clear of all sprinkler heads, compressor units and related winterization equipment in the parks during maintenance.
The winterization process is expected to take seven weeks. For more information, visit saskatoon.ca/parkmaintenance.

City seeking feedback on draft Accessibility plan
September 8, 2025 - 12:00pm
- Built environments (accessible indoor and outdoor spaces)
- Information and communications
- Transportation
- Service Animals
- City Services and Programs
- Finding and applying for employment with the City of Saskatoon
- Attitudes and biases
The City of Saskatoon is looking for resident feedback on its draft Accessibility plan from now until September 22, 2025.
“We had over 500 people share their experiences with accessibility barriers with us and we are very thankful because their insights helped shape this draft Accessibility plan,” says Stryker Calvez, Director of Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) for the City of Saskatoon. “Now, we need feedback from our residents on this draft plan to see if this report reflects their experiences with accessibility in our community or if there is anything we missed.”
Since 2008, the City of Saskatoon has been working to make spaces, services, and programs more inclusive through the Accessibility Action Plan. This included improving sidewalks, clearing snow more effectively, upgrading Transit, making buildings and playgrounds more accessible, enhancing the City’s website and providing staff training. The new draft Accessibility Plan builds on this work and focuses on the key areas where barriers to accessibility exist:
Residents can review the plan and fill out the short survey on the City’s Accessibility website. The survey will be open until September 22. Paper copies of the online form are available upon request by calling the Customer Care Centre: 306-975-2476
“Improving accessibility in our communities is a complex task and we recognize that there is going to be some trial and error in getting it right,” says Calvez. “We hope this plan shows our commitment to creating a more inclusive community for everyone.”
