Civic services unchanged for National Day of Mourning Monday, September 19
September 14, 2022 - 8:27am
Canadians will pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II with a National Day of Mourning on Monday, September 19.
As the day has not been designated as a provincial statutory holiday in Saskatchewan, the City of Saskatoon will maintain regular business operations on September 19. City-operated facilities will be open regular business hours, and residents are reminded that payment will be required in City-managed pay parking areas on the National Day of Mourning.
For members of the public who wish to express their condolences, a condolence book is available for signing in the lobby of City Hall during regular business hours until end of day on September 19.
To honour the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the City of Saskatoon’s flags are currently at half-mast until the day of Her Majesty’s Funeral Service on September 19. Following this, they will remain lowered in remembrance of the victims of the attacks that occurred at the communities of James Smith Cree Nation & Weldon.

Public survey on Downtown event centre/arena location options now open until October 3, 2022
September 13, 2022 - 5:56am
The online survey to provide feedback on the two potential locations for a Downtown event centre/arena is now open to the public until end of day Monday, October 3. Intercept surveys to hear from residents across Saskatoon will also be taking place during this time.
The City is looking for the public’s views on the opportunities and challenges of the two potential sites under consideration -- Midtown Shopping Centre North Parking Lot (Site A) and the North Downtown/City Yards (Site B).
The online survey can be found at saskatoon.ca/engage and takes less than 8 minutes to complete. Full background information on the project, including artistic illustrations, technical information, and historical context, can be found at saskatoon.ca/eventdistrict.
A representative sample survey, including a telephone and online panel survey, was completed on September 5. The information gathered from all surveys will be compiled and presented to City Council in November to be considered as part of the final decision on the location for the future event centre/arena site.
