The repeal of Bylaw No. 8770, Zoning Bylaw, 2009 and replacement with Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024, was given Ministerial approval by the Government of Saskatchewan and is in effect as of January 3, 2025. This is the result of a multi-year process that worked closely with stakeholders to modernize and simplify Saskatoon’s zoning.

The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that facilitates implementation of the City of Saskatoon's Official Community Plan. All land in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning district and subject to development standards associated with the zoning district. Parking, permitted uses, and setbacks are included in these regulations.

Bylaw No. 9990, Zoning Bylaw, 2024 will be available on the City of Saskatoon website at saskatoon.ca/city-hall/city-bylaws-policies/city-bylaws.

SaskPower customers can check SaskPower outages at saskpower.com/Outages for updates.

Winter outage safety tips:

• Stay safe: Avoid using candles for lighting to prevent fire hazards; use flashlights instead. Do not use propane heat inside unless the heater is specifically rated for indoor use.
• Unplug electronics: Disconnect sensitive electronics to protect them from power surges when electricity is restored.
• Keep fridge closed: Minimize opening your refrigerator and freezer to keep food cold longer.
• Stay warm: Add layers of clothing or blankets if needed.
• Check on neighbors: Ensure that elderly or vulnerable neighbors are safe and have what they need.
• Have a backup power supply: Have a generator or backup supply. Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for essential equipment.
• Get a surge protector: Prevent costly damage to appliances; get surge protectors for electronics or install a whole-house surge protector.
