The City of Saskatoon Leisure Guide is the community’s go-to source for sport, culture and recreation information in Saskatoon.
The Winter Leisure Guide will be available online at saskatoon.ca/leisureguide and on display at pick-up locations beginning Friday, November 19.
Highlights of the Winter Leisure Guide (January 1 to March 31, 2021) include information on:
- Registered and Drop-in programs available at the Leisure Centres this season;
- Youth activities such as the Winter Play Program, School Break Camp, Learn to Skate and a variety of Learn & Play sport programs;
- Parent & Tot and public skating at the indoor rinks;
- Free outdoor skating at the Clarence Downey Speed Skating Oval and over 50 outdoor community rinks in neighbourhoods across the city; and
- Cross-country skiing at groomed trails around Saskatoon.
At the time the Winter guide was sent to print, some programs were still in the process of being reviewed and finalized due to current COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Please visit the websites noted throughout the Guide for the most up-to-date details on programs and services. Information on registered programs including Red Cross Swim lessons, have been posted in advance of registration on leisureonline.saskatoon.ca.
