Have your say! Tree protection survey open for public input
February 23, 2022 - 1:00pm
Saskatoon’s urban forest significantly contributes to the community’s quality of life by adding character and beauty to the city, purifying the air and enriching the environment. The City currently owns and maintains over 107,000 trees within boulevards, centre medians and parks.
The City’s new Urban Forestry Management Plan, approved by City Council in 2021, recommends the development of a Tree Protection Bylaw to improve the City’s ability to protect trees on public property and educate the community about their protection.
From Wednesday, February 23 to Sunday, March 13, residents are invited to provide feedback on the development of a Tree Protection Bylaw for Saskatoon.
Tree Protection Online Survey
Open February 23 to March 13, 2022
Visit the Tree Protection Bylaw Engage Page at saskatoon.ca/engage/tree-protection-bylaw to complete the survey.
Feedback from the public survey and stakeholders will be used alongside research from other communities to seek City Council’s approval to draft a Tree Protection Bylaw for Saskatoon. Engagement results and project updates will be shared on the Tree Protection Bylaw Engage Page.

City of Saskatoon takes part in Pink Shirt Day
February 23, 2022 - 6:00am
This Pink Shirt Day, the City of Saskatoon renews its commitment to working together and creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all and highlighted the importance of being kind and respectful of one another. By wearing a pink shirt on this day, we stand together against bullying and advocate for kindness, respect, and inclusivity,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation & Construction.
The City of Saskatoon will be showing their support on the day by encouraging staff to wear pink to raise awareness and providing staff with education and tools on workplace bullying and how to report it.
Watch for Saskatoon Transit vehicles who can be spotted around the city sporting pink t-shirt decals. Roadways, Fleet & Support have also added pink shirt decals to their trucks and graders to raise awareness of the day.
About Pink Shirt Day
Inspired by an act of kindness in small-town Nova Scotia, Pink Shirt Day acts to raise awareness of bullying in schools, workplaces, homes and online, as well as raise funds to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem. To learn more, visit www.pinkshirtday.ca.
