The City of Saskatoon is prepared for the annual Fall Street Sweeping program, an important initiative to keep streets clean and reduce the risk of spring flooding. 

From October 15 to October 24, street sweeping crews will be clearing fallen leaves from some of Saskatoon’s leafiest neighborhoods, which includes Buena Vista, Caswell Hill, City Park, Exhibition, Holiday Park, King George, Mayfair, Nutana, Riversdale and Varsity View. Residents can find their scheduled sweep day by visiting saskatoon.ca/sweep. 

"Fallen leaves can cause issues by blocking catch basins and storm drains, which can lead to flooding when the snow melts in spring," says Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager. "This preventative work not only protects city infrastructure but also improves quality of life for residents." 

Temporary parking restrictions will be in place and vehicles may be ticketed or towed if necessary. 

How You Can Help: 

• Clear leaves from the sidewalk and boulevard next to your property but avoid pushing leaves into the street, as large piles can slow down the sweepers. 

• Dispose of loose leaves in your green cart or drop them off at a compost depot. Bagged leaves can be placed in your black cart. 

• Watch for the yellow No Parking signs and move your vehicle by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled sweep day. If your vehicle is towed, you can use the Find My Vehicle! tool or call our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476. 

Service Alerts will be issued if changes to the schedule are necessary due to weather or other factors. For more details, visit saskatoon.ca/sweep. 

The City of Saskatoon will have several adjusted civic services and hours of operation on Thanksgiving Day, Monday, October 14.

Wondering about what's open or closed this long weekend? Or want to check out parking requirements, the waste collection schedule, Saskatoon Transit schedule or hours at Leisure Centres, Saskatoon Public Library locations or at Remai Modern? How about tee off times for a last round of long weekend fall golf?

Check details here!

The City of Saskatoon wishes a safe and happy Thanksgiving long weekend for all residents.
