It's an exciting time and we still have open positions where you can serve your city and directly influence decisions in your community. Would you like to be involved with Saskatoon’s newly elected local leadership in 2025?  

Apply to join a City of Saskatoon board, committee or commission and help shape programs and services that matter to you. The application deadline to take an active role has been extended to November 15, 2024.

Volunteering on a board, committee or commission is a great opportunity to share your experience and skills and expand your resume and network of contacts.

This year’s newly elected City Council will consider all public appointments at its December 18, 2024, Regular Business Meeting, and all applicants will be notified of the status of their application following that meeting.

City Council relies on volunteer members of the public to bring their diverse backgrounds and expertise to our open positions.
