Test of notifynow alert planned for Thursday, May 16
May 14, 2024 - 9:00am
- SMS text message
- Voice call to a landline
- Voice call to a cell phone
- Raise public awareness about the system so that residents of Saskatoon can be equipped and ready for potential emergencies
- Confirm the notifynow system performs effectively
- Practice sending alerts to the public and assess public safety alert procedures
Saskatoon Emergency Management Operations (EMO) will conduct a scheduled notifynow test on Thursday, May 16, 2024, after 11:30 a.m. The message will specifically indicate that it is a test and does not require any action from the public.
The City of Saskatoon’s public safety alert program, notifynow, is used to notify the public in real-time of a safety situation where they need to take action. Alerts are issued when there is an impending, escalating, or occurring emergency in the city and immediate action needs to be taken. The system uses listed phone numbers and associated addresses from the public White Pages to send out alerts. Residents can also sign up to notifynow to receive a message via their preferred communication method.
Upon registration, subscribers can opt to receive alerts by:
Subscribers can choose any, or all, of these communication methods.
Residents are strongly encouraged to create an account and provide accurate contact information to successfully receive messages. It is important for residents to review and update their notifynow profiles regularly to make sure phone numbers and addresses are current.
Testing of the notifynow system provides EMO the opportunity to:
If subscribers notice the notifynow alert is not performing as expected, residents are encouraged to contact EMO immediately with details at emo@saskatoon.ca.
EMO regularly conducts two annual test alerts: one occurring in the spring and the other closer to the end of the year.
For additional information about Saskatoon’s alert system, visit saskatoon.ca/notifynow.

Gabriel Dumont Park pedestrian bridge repairs delayed
May 10, 2024 - 2:00pm
Repairs to the wooden pedestrian bridge that provides access to Gabriel Dumont Park from Saskatchewan Crescent West have been delayed due to longer than expected shipping times for necessary structural components. The components are expected to arrive the end of May and the repair work will be completed soon after. The bridge is estimated to open approximately June 7, barring any additional unforeseen delays.
On April 11, the Saskatoon Fire Department responded to a report of a fire in Gabriel Dumont Park and found the walkway structure in flames. Following the bridge assessment, the building engineer concluded that the fire had concentrated at the east end of the bridge. Fortunately, the fire did not significantly affect the bridge's structural capacity, and the assessment concluded the walkway bridge does not need to be replaced. Repairs to the bridge include replacement of approximately 7.5m of floorboards, railings -- including posts -- and the centre wood stringer.
Pedestrians are asked to avoid the area and follow signage directing them to use an alternate route until the walkway is reopened.
