News Releases

There’s a seat at the table for you this fall!

We’re recruiting citizen volunteers for several vacant positions on our Boards, Commissions and Committees (BCCs). Make a difference in your community and help shape programs and services that matter to you.

The City’s BCCs strengthen our community and are stronger through diverse membership. Working together, we make Saskatoon a better city. We rely on citizen volunteers to bring their diverse backgrounds and expertise and welcome, support and value individuals for their unique perspectives.

As a commitment to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Action Plan, the City supports diverse membership on the various boards, committees and commissions as they should reflect the community we serve.

There are a wide variety of open positions. Are you, or do you know of someone who is passionate about or has expertise in one of these areas?

• Arts & Heritage
• Events & Gatherings
• Community & Inclusion
• Property & Business

As a BCCs member you’ll provide advice, guidance and recommendations to City Council or you could hear and make decisions on appeals pertaining to City matters. Join us to contribute, gain valuable experience and expand your network of contacts! 

Check saskatoon.ca/boards for the full list of vacant positions and descriptions of the ways you can contribute. Apply before 5:00 p.m. Monday, October 3, 2022.

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.

The Curbside Swap is bigger and better in 2022 offering two opportunities for Saskatoon’s residents to participate in a citywide treasure hunt and help reduce the number of reusable items that end up in the landfill.

The spring event was held on June 4, 2022 and featured 350 listings, with residents swapping everything from desks and chairs to teddy bears!  A second fall event will take place this Saturday, September 10 (8:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m.).

Join the effort in helping to reduce the number of unwanted reusable items that end up in the landfill.

To participate in the Curbside Swap, place your gently used items on your property and mark them as “free” for anyone to take. Residents may also go out in search of items that other residents are giving away.

Visit saskatoon.ca/curbsideswap to sign up and promote your swap using the online listing tool as well as event tools, information on guidelines, and a list of acceptable and non-acceptable items. Common "swappable" items include furniture, electronics, sporting equipment, books, tools, and much more!

For items that are not collected by 6pm, residents are encouraged to visit saskatoon.ca/wastewizard for other disposal methods or get the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app to find ways to divert their items from the landfill.
