Plan to attend the City of Saskatoon’s 48th Annual Civic Pancake Breakfast tomorrow, June 11!
A much-loved outdoor event, the Civic Pancake Breakfast kicks off the start of summer and brings our community together! Join us, all proceeds from the breakfast will be donated to our charity partner, United Way Saskatoon & Area:
This year’s breakfast will have an expanded lineup of diverse musical performers, dancers and entertainment on our community stage, vehicle displays and information booths to visit. Local celebrity pancake flippers will serve up delicious pancakes, fun mascots will attend and as always, the popular relay race will be fun to watch!
At a time when kindness is needed more than ever, we will again offer Act of Kindness Breakfast tickets for purchase. Consider purchasing an extra $7 breakfast ticket for someone who would appreciate a hot breakfast on June 11. Unused breakfast tickets posted to the Act of Kindness Ticket Board will be donated back to United Way Saskatoon & Area!
We are confident our community momentum for the Act of Kindness Board will continue. The Act of Kindness Board is sponsored by Saskatoon City Employees Credit Union.
The City of Saskatoon thanks the many valued breakfast sponsors who offer their generous support to make our community breakfast a yearly success!
Visit saskatoon.ca for more information including the entertainment line-up.
