News Releases

As the snow melts away and the roads fully dry, typically in early April, we deploy our street sweepers to tackle the debris left behind on our dirtiest streets. 

Day and night, our crews dedicate the first four weeks or more to the streets bustling with traffic and coated in dirt and dust that require special attention. To efficiently remove the bulk of the debris, we maneuver around parked cars for a swift cleaning of street gutters and concrete or grass-covered medians. 

Next–in early May–we schedule sweeping for every single street in the city. At that time, we will place "No Parking" signs so we can clean the entire road. Your assistance in moving parked vehicles off the street and adhering to parking restrictions will be appreciated. 

What about those pesky potholes? We use a temporary cold asphalt mixture for urgent repairs to potholes on high-priority streets until hot mix asphalt is available later in April for a more permanent repair. Please phone our Customer Care Centre if it’s a dangerous location or a settled pavement cut at 306-975-2476. Learn more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.  

Let's work together to maintain a clean and inviting city. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a fresh start this spring!  

Sweep information can be found at saskatoon.ca/sweep.

As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions. 

Ice thickness is no longer suitable for winter recreational use. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe. Fire crews have updated the posted signage to read “No Skating” at each recreational storm pond. 

Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including removing personal belongings, as well as user safety. 

Additionally, ice on the South Saskatchewan River has also started to melt. The ice that covers this body of water is unpredictable and is therefore never safe for winter recreational use. Residents are asked to never venture out onto the ice that covers sections of the South Saskatchewan River. 

Community members are advised to always exercise an elevated level of caution when around any large body of water. Keep a close watch on children and pets when visiting trails, parks, or off-leash areas that may run adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River or a storm water retention pond. 

For more information regarding the Recreational Uses of Storm Water Retention Ponds policy, visit saskatoon.ca/ponds.
