Looking for a new opportunity where you can serve your city and directly influence decisions in your community? Consider volunteering to take an active role on one of the City’s various civic boards, committees or commissions.

City Council relies on volunteer members of the public to bring their diverse backgrounds and expertise to our open positions. Council welcomes, supports, values, and encourages Indigenous, Black, people of colour, members of the 2SLGBTQ community, people living with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups to apply. We are stronger through diverse membership, and in working together we continue to make Saskatoon a better city.

To serve on a City board, committee or commission and be eligible for appointment, you must reside within the boundaries of the city of Saskatoon, except for applicants to the City’s Controlled Corporations which allow for up to two non-resident members.     You must also provide a resume and two letters of reference with your application. 

Review the complete list of boards, commissions, and committees, open positions, and term length here.  Apply online at  saskatoon.ca/boards before 5 p.m., Thursday, October 31, 2024. For more information on the application process, email online.appointments@saskatoon.ca or call the City Clerk’s Office at 306-975-3240.

This year’s newly elected City Council will consider all public appointments at its December 18, 2024, Regular Business Meeting, and all applicants will be notified of the status of their application following that meeting.

Serve your city and help shape programs and services that matter to you as you bring your valuable experience, share your skills, and expand your resume and your network of contacts.
