Winter BYXE Week will take place from February 17th to 25th. Presented by the City of Saskatoon in partnership with Saskatoon Cycles, this city-wide winter cycling celebration invites residents to embrace the cold, save money and pedal for a healthier planet. 

Throughout the week, from February 17th to 25th, the community is encouraged to explore our beautiful city through winter biking. Take part in different activities planned throughout the week, such as the Ice Cycle Slow Roll and scavenger hunt. The highlight of the week is Bike to Work Day on February 22nd— a day to commute with style, share their journey and connect with fellow cyclists. Commuter stations, featuring refreshments and camaraderie, will enhance the experience for participants. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using #BYXE. 

This initiative underscores the joy of winter biking, promoting good health, saving money and contributing to environmental sustainability.

The City of Saskatoon and Government of Saskatchewan continue to work collaboratively on the final details to prepare for the 30-space emergency shelter to be located at former Fire Station #5 (421 Central Avenue).  

Neighbourhood Information Sessions have been rescheduled for Monday, March 11 (virtual) and Tuesday, March 12 (in-person).  

In the upcoming week, meeting details including times and locations will be available on saskatoon.ca/shelterspaces as well as provided directly to Sutherland area residents and businesses within a 500-metre radius of the former fire station. 

The sessions will cover: 

• The need for shelters in Saskatoon to support homeless individuals and enhance community safety and wellbeing. 

• The role of the City, Government of Saskatchewan and the service provider (The Mustard Seed – theseed.ca/saskatoon) in overall planning, how the City chose the sites to bring forward, and day to day operations. 

• Information on the Provincial Approach to Homelessness and operational oversight. 

• Information in general on shelter operations. 

• Attendees’ feedback on ways to best integrate a new shelter into the area/neighbourhood along with helping the City, Government of Saskatchewan and service provider (The Mustard Seed) understand expectations of any businesses or residents near the facility. 

The City thanks the community for the patience in allowing all the various organizations the necessary time to complete the work on the integrated operating plan.
