Westbound driving lanes on College Drive scheduled to re-open Tuesday morning

Initial repairs to the College Drive pedestrian walkway are now complete. Starting Tuesday morning before rush hour, the westbound lanes of College Drive will re-open to traffic. The walkway will also re-open to pedestrians.
The overpass was hit by a truck with a crane on December 7, which created damage and knocked it out of alignment.

Groomed cross country ski trails scheduled to be ready for use early in the New Year
December 20, 2021 - 11:00am
Groomed cross country ski trails maintained by the City of Saskatoon are expected to be ready between January 4 to 7, 2022, at the Upper and Lower Meewasin, Diefenbaker, Kinsmen, and Forest Parks.
The light accumulation of snow along with new staff training requirements has led to a later than normal start to the season.
Following the completion of the main cross country ski trails, the City will begin grooming trails in 30 neighbourhood parks. This new initiative supports Saskatoon’s WintercityYXE Strategy and is run in partnership with various Community Associations throughout the city.
Visit saskatoon.ca/ski for trail locations and updates on conditions. Additional trails are groomed by Saskatoon Nordic Ski Club including classic and skate skiing loops at the Holiday and Wildwood Golf Courses. Visit saskatoonnordicski.ca for more information.
