- Banner #9: Saskatoon Survivors Circle – ayacimoyok “We are telling our stories”
- Banner # 10: Commitment to Reconciliation [Metis Survivors]
The City of Saskatoon and Reconciliation Saskatoon are co-hosting a Pipe Ceremony & Survivors’ Flag Raising this morning to start the week that includes the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
“Our objective is to collectively set intentions for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and the Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation,” says Pipe Carrier and Knowledge Keeper, Corine Eyahpaise. “We are coming together to reflect and also to set our sights on a brighter future for every member of this community.”
The flag being raised is the newly unveiled Survivors’ Flag, meant to honour Residential School Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the Residential School System in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by Survivors from across Canada. Eugene Arcand – who attended St. Michael’s Residential School in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan and is now Chair of the Saskatoon Survivors Circle – was one of the Survivors consulted in the flag’s creation.
Eugene Arcand says: “On the flag, there is an incomplete circle that surrounds this image much in the same way that there are still many Truths to be told before we come close to understanding the impact residential schools had on Survivors, communities, and the entire nation. And there is a story yet to be told. We are at a point in time where we have to ask ourselves how we want our future generations to see what actions we have taken towards healing and reconciliation.”
The Survivors' Flag will be on display in Civic Square (off 23rd St E, between 3rd and 4th Ave N) until Oct. 3, 2022. Note that the Survivors’ Flag, and all flags in Civic Square, will fly at half-mast until Sept. 29 in recognition of Firefighters National Memorial Day and Police & Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.
Orange Banner Project
During the Pipe Ceremony & Flag Raising, Saskatoon Tribal Chief, Mark Arcand and Saskatoon Mayor, Charlie Clark were invited to speak to the Orange Banner Project. The Orange Banner Project is an initiative to raise awareness about Reconciliation in conjunction with the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It refers to the close to 250 orange banners with Reconciliation messages that were installed on light poles over this past weekend.
“The Orange Banner Project is meant to honour the children that didn’t make it home, the ones who made it home, and the ones that are still lost and away from the home fires,” says Tribal Chief Arcand. “By connecting the west and east sides of the city, the banners signify the need to build bridges throughout our city. It also takes us on a path of recognizing our relatives in the core neighbourhoods, along Spadina Crescent where many churches are located, and by the U of S as a symbol of higher education and a brighter future.”
The banners appear along the following route:
There are 10 different banners, reading as follows:
“We wanted to reach as many people in our city as possible with this initiative,” says Mayor Clark. “We hope that people will make some time to walk along a piece of the route and take in the messages and reflect on them. This is an opportunity to continue building awareness and to create a sense of community since Truth and Reconciliation is up to all of us.”
The Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation on Sept. 30 will take place along a portion of the Orange Banner Project route. You can learn more about the Rock Your Roots Walk at saskatoon.ca/Indigenous or by connecting to the Facebook Event.
The Orange Banner Project is an initiative of the Saskatoon Tribal Council and City of Saskatoon. The Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation is organized by Reconciliation Saskatoon with support from the City of Saskatoon.
Right to Know Week raises awareness about the right to access information and the importance of transparent government
September 26, 2022 - 2:59am
- Freedom of Information: Improving openness and accountability of the City through the provision of legislated rights of access to municipal records; and
- Protection of Privacy: Preventing unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information by the City.
The City of Saskatoon will acknowledge Right to Know Week from September 26 - October 2.
Recognized nationally, the week is meant to raise awareness about the right of all citizens to access information held by public bodies and the benefits of transparent, open and accountable government. Right to Know Day, which promotes freedom of information worldwide, is recognized internationally on September 28.
The City of Saskatoon as a municipal government strives to operate openly and transparently when providing members of the public with access to records in the possession or control of the City. Requests for Access to Information are governed by The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP). The Act's established rules strike a balance between the public’s right to know and the individual’s right to privacy through:
The right of access to information belongs to everyone and is a key enabler for making it easier to request information and documents held by the City.
In its commitment to continuous improvement, the City has made several enhancements to the Access to Information webpage. These include the addition of convenient online submission forms for requesting access to information and paying associated fees online, a more detailed overview of associated costs, Frequently Asked Questions and dedicated pages on the various types of information that can be requested namely:
General Information Requests
Personal Information Requests
External Disclosure Requests – Government Entities
For more information on requesting information from the City, how LA FOIP works and the protection of privacy, visit saskatoon.ca/accessinformation, contact the City Clerk’s Access and Privacy Officer at 306-975-3240 or email city.clerks@saskatoon.ca.
City to lower flags in recognition of Police & Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day
September 23, 2022 - 4:00pm
Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is Sunday, September 25, 2022. In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will fly at half-mast for the day.
Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is recognized every year in Canada on the last Sunday in September. The day pays tribute to the hard work, dedication and sacrifice police and peace officers have made toward the safety of Canadians.
Flags are flown at half-mast to honour police and peace officers killed in the line of duty. Memorial services will also take place in communities across the country.
The City of Saskatoon’s flags are currently at half-mast until each life lost at James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon has been acknowledged. The flags will remain at half-mast for one additional day in honour of Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.

Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo saddened to announce the loss of Buddy the grey wolf
September 22, 2022 - 10:00am
The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) is deeply saddened to announce the loss of Buddy, a 15-year-old grey wolf. Animal care and veterinary staff made the difficult decision to euthanize the geriatric wolf due to his declining health associated with his advanced age.
Buddy had been facing some geriatric health concerns including arthritis, kidney issues and failing vision. Staff had been closely monitoring and managing his comfort and care, but in recent months, Buddy’s condition declined significantly. Veterinary and animal care staff made careful adjustments to his medications and treatment plan to ensure Buddy’s comfort. However, his condition had progressed to the point that staff could no longer ensure his comfort and quality of life.
Buddy arrived at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo in 2007 and played an integral role in the educational programming at the Zoo inspiring guests, students and families to help conserve and protect this incredible species.
“Buddy loved to have visitors at the Zoo,” said Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “He would often come up to the glass to greet students and families with his unique whimper of excitement. He was an amazing ambassador for his species and will be missed by all who came to know him.”
The average life expectancy of a grey wolf is six to eight years in the wild and up to 15 years in zoological facilities. They grey wolf is classified as Least Concern on the endangered species list.
The Zoo has set up two commemorative signs outside the wolf exhibit at the Nutrien Ark. Everyone is welcome to write a message for Buddy, the signs will be on display until Tuesday, September 27.
