Cankerworms Abundant in Saskatoon Again this Year
June 6, 2024 - 1:30pm
Cankerworms and leafrollers are an annual issue for Saskatoon’s urban forest. The trees may experience heavy defoliation but, unless there are underlying issues, The trees will put out new leaves and recover.
Cankerworms, also known as loopers and inchworms, are found primarily on elm, but will also feed on other tree species. The fall and spring cankerworm species often feed together during June and July. The caterpillars can be found hanging from silken threads underneath infested trees and can be a nuisance.
Leafrollers often feed while concealed within leaves that are rolled or tied together with silk webbing. Leafrollers can be found on a wide variety of trees. The leaves will often remain rolled throughout the summer but leafrolling does not affect a tree’s health.
Tree banding can be used to deter cankerworms; however, it is not effective against leafrollers or other insects in the urban forest. The best time to place bands on trees is from September to May to help prevent the wingless adult female cankerworm moths from climbing host trees to lay their eggs. It is important to remove the bands at the beginning of June because the bands can collect moisture and cause the trunk to rot.
The City does not control cankerworms, or leafrollers as they typically do not impact the health of the trees they attack. Homeowners interested in controlling them on their own trees should contact a horticulture professional for advice. For additional information on insects and tree diseases, please visit saskatoon.ca/treepests.

Two zebras embark on new adventure
June 4, 2024 - 12:30pm
Two of the five zebras from the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (one gelding and one female) are embarking on an adventure as they settle into their new home at Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, New Brunswick.
Koffee and LeeLoo have been paired separately from the rest of the herd since last fall due to a medical issue. The two have since become a bonded pair and a decision was made not to reintroduce them to the other herd.
“Zebra males can become very territorial, especially within a herd setting,” says Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “While we are sad to see Koffee and LeeLoo go, we are confident the decision to relocate the pair to another CAZA accredited facility is the best outcome for the zebras”.
All required permits, veterinary check and documentation were completed prior to the transfer. The zebras were transferred by a licensed, approved animal transport company and arrived safely in Moncton earlier this week.
Marty, Misty and Shadow have become a cohesive trio and will remain at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo. The Zoo has also completed the expansion of the zebras’ winter habitat by adding almost 900 square feet of indoor space for the gelding and two females to enjoy. The expansion was fully funded by the Province of Saskatchewan and provides ample space for the zebras to enjoy during the winter months.
A reminder, the Zoo will close at 1 p.m. on Friday, June 7 for the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation’s annual fundraising event ZOOGALA. The Zoo will reopen Saturday, June 8, at 9 a.m. The Forestry Farm Park will remain open for regular hours of operation.

City of Saskatoon introduces weekly Household Hazardous Waste disposal
May 30, 2024 - 10:00am
- The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
- Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to the participants.
- Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and contents are clearly marked.
- To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal.
- There are no public washrooms available at the Material Recovery Centre.
The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce a new, convenient way for residents to dispose of their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) safely and responsibly. Starting June 5, 2024, residents can drop off their HHW every Wednesday at the Material Recovery Centre.
The new weekly collection program is designed to make it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals, and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.
HHW will be accepted every Wednesday from 8 am to 4:45 pm at the Material Recovery Centre, located at 42 Valley Road.
The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.
Reminders:
Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!

City-wide Green Cart program helps improve waste diversion rate by nearly 10 per cent in first year of operation
May 29, 2024 - 4:24pm
The City of Saskatoon is proud to announce the successful completion of the first year of its city-wide curbside organics program. Since its launch in May 2023, the Green Cart program has contributed to a notable increase in the City’s waste diversion rate, which has risen from 23.5 per cent to 33.3 per cent. This is the first significant increase in a decade, highlighting the program’s impact on the City’s waste diversion efforts.
“We are incredibly pleased with the community's response to the Green Cart program and the substantial increase in our diversion rates,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water & Waste Operations. “Moving forward, we will continue to refine and improve the program, which includes a proposal to adjust collection frequencies to better meet seasonal needs and address the remaining diversion potential in black carts.”
On Tuesday, June 4, Council’s Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services (EU&CS) will hear details of the Green Cart program's performance.
The Solid Waste Reduction and Diversion Plan projected that the annual diversion from green carts would be between 15,000 and 22,000 tonnes per year. Since program launch, more than 20,452 tonnes of organic waste have successfully been diverted from the landfill. Diverting organics from landfill reduces Greenhouse Gas emissions. The Green Cart program avoided 13,374 tonnes of CO2e that would have been released as methane gas if the same materials were landfilled. This is the equivalent of removing 2,972 passenger cars from the roadway.
There is still opportunity to increase the City’s diversion rates; however. Recent waste characterization audits reveal that the average black cart still contains approximately 33 per cent organic material. The City will continue its education campaigns to improve green cart use, ensuring residents are well-informed about the benefits and proper practices of organic waste diversion.
There were also noted seasonal variations in the program's performance. During winter months, set-out rates and the amount of collected organic waste were significantly lower.
To optimize efficiency and service delivery, Administration is recommending a reduction in the winter collection frequency to once every four weeks between December 1 and March 31 each year. This option is expected to provide savings of $162,000 annually and the adjustment in service could begin December 2024. No change in collection frequency during the spring/summer/fall season is being recommended at this time.

Council funds staffed washrooms for Riversdale, Pleasant Hill & riverbank locations; more access to drinking water
May 29, 2024 - 3:30pm
Following a discussion of several options, City Council today approved the purchase of a used washroom trailer to provide a staffed, all-day service for the Riversdale and Pleasant Hill neighbourhoods. Council also approved funding to provide staffing at a riverbank washroom location and for extra public access to drinking water.
“Like many other communities in Canada, Saskatoon is being impacted by an increase in residents who are experiencing homelessness,” says Pamela Goulden-McLeod, Director of Emergency Management. “We’re encouraged with Council’s decision because there’s been a widening gap in services and resources -- including access to public washrooms and drinking water -- for residents in need.”
The options are expected to cost approximately $700,000, with the money coming from the Reserve for Capital Expenditures. Administration will be diligently looking for cost-saving options. Two community partners have expressed an interest in working with the City on this project. These partnerships are expected to impact some of the planned resources and will lower the project's cost.
Council heard the City already provides public washroom options in neighbourhoods throughout Saskatoon. The approved options would help increase access to washrooms in neighbourhoods that do not have this service and, in turn, would minimize the overall impact on one single washroom location. The overnight winter warming location that operated at St. Mary’s Hall provided a washroom facility. With the seasonal closure of the warming centre, Pleasant Hill and Riversdale do not have an all-day service – which was in great demand.
“There is significant need for washroom resources and one location could be overwhelmed quickly,” says Goulden-McLeod. “This was learned from the post-action debrief regarding the St. Mary’s overnight warming location this winter.”
Goulden-McLeod says there is a cost saving with a used trailer, and if needed, the purchased washroom trailer could then be used for many other functions within the community.
The washroom trailer is expected to be available in about a week’s time. The Riverbank location, once confirmed, could be staffed in June.
Council also committed to fund a continuation of misting tents to help prevent heat-stroke and heat-related illnesses, critical to the City’s Extreme Heat Emergency Response Plan. A pilot project for a water-bottle filling station last year at the Westside Clinic was successful; Council now supports three new water bottle filling stations on top of the established distribution of bottled water for those in need.

108th Annual Decoration Day on Sunday, June 2, 2024
May 29, 2024 - 2:00pm
The 108th Annual Decoration Day and Memorial Service will be celebrated at the Soldiers’ Cairn located at the Woodlawn Cemetery on Sunday, June 2, 2024. The annual event provides citizens with an opportunity to pay tribute to those brave individuals who lost their lives in the service of our country.
The day will begin with a parade at 1:45 p.m. that includes Legion members, ANAVET members, and members of the Armed Forces, starting from the Woodlawn Cemetery Office gate (north end of Memorial Avenue) and proceeding into the cemetery to the Memorial Cairn. Members of the public are welcome to join in the parade. The service will start at 2:00 p.m.
Spray pads open Saturday, June 1, 2024
May 29, 2024 - 1:00pm
Cool off at any of the 22 City of Saskatoon spray pads located around the city. Spray pads will open for the season on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 10 a.m., and will be operational daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Please note, in June (Monday to Friday), spray pads located near school grounds are set to turn off 5 minutes before recess and lunch breaks and will resume 5 minutes after the breaks are over. Shut-off times will vary according to individual school schedules. All spray pads are activated by push buttons located near the spray features. The bell schedules are listed on the Where to Play Google Map posted at saskatoon.ca/spraypads.
As part of the City’s Water Conservation Strategy, the City is implementing actions to reduce water usage and costs related to the operation of spray pads. In year two of the spray pad water conservation project, three spray pads will be updated with a combination of misters and lower-flow nozzles, which will save water without compromising the spray pad experience. The three spray pads that will be updated are in Briarwood, Stonebridge, and River Heights. These upgrades are expected to reduce water use by 20-60% while maintaining 100% of the fun. Water conservation work at the spray pads began in 2023 and helped save 6.4 million litres of water – the same amount of water used by 33 households in a year. Trials from the 2023 pilot are now being incorporated to test newer nozzle combinations in 2024.
To find a spray pad location near you, check out the Where to Play Google Map at saskatoon.ca/spraypads or call 306-975-3378.
Improving safety with speed limits for neighbourhood bikeways
May 29, 2024 - 11:30am
The City of Saskatoon is implementing 30 km/h speed limits on select neighbourhood bikeways this summer, as part of an ongoing commitment to improving road safety and comfort for all users.
A new policy pertaining to reduced speed limits for neighbourhood bikeways was approved by City Council in December 2023.
“This change aims to enhance safety and create a more comfortable environment for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation. “Neighbourhood bikeways are designed for streets with lower vehicle volumes and speeds, promoting safer shared road use."
Two neighbourhood bikeways will have reduced speed limits implemented this summer: 23rd Street West between Vancouver Avenue North and Avenue C North, Avenue I between the north and south legs of 23rd Street West, and 14th Street East between Saskatchewan Crescent East and Cumberland Avenue.
The traffic bylaw was amended in February of 2024 for these two neighbourhood bikeways.
The 14th Street Neighbourhood Bikeway was identified in the Active Transportation Plan and connects the Meewasin Trail to several residential neighbourhoods, as far east as College Park. The 23rd Street Neighbourhood Bikeway, established as a priority cycling route in 2011, offers a connection for cyclists traveling between downtown and Blairmore.
Signage for these two neighbourhood bikeways is being installed and the reduced posted speed limit of 30 km/h will be in effect on July 5, 2024. Signage for future neighbourhood bikeways will be installed after traffic calming measures are constructed.
The City understands that these changes can be challenging, but they are part of the broader efforts to enhance safety and make Saskatoon more livable for everyone. For more information on neighbourhood bikeways visit saskatoon.ca/bikewayspeedlimits.

City celebrates Urban Reserve partnerships with First Nations at special meeting and Flag Ceremony
May 29, 2024 - 9:30am
Other First Nations with Urban Reserves in Saskatoon are: Kahkewistahaw First Nation; One Arrow First Nation; Red Pheasant Cree Nation; Thunderchild First Nation; Yellow Quill First Nation; and Pelican Lake First Nation.
Urban Reserves benefit both First Nations and the City in creating opportunities in economic growth, offering employment opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and fulfilling Treaty Land Entitlements. These investments help create prosperity for everyone and are a model of good partnership and cooperation.
The Flag installation ceremony occurred at the start of this month’s City Council meeting to recognize the distinct order of First Nations and Métis governments through the Treaty 6 Flag and the Métis Flag. First Nations with urban reserves, additional First Nations represented by the Saskatoon Tribal Council, and Métis Nation-Saskatchewan Western Region 2A along with Locals in Saskatoon participated in the Flag ceremony.
Métis Nation-Saskatchewan Western Region 2A Locals in Saskatoon are Central Urban Métis Federation Local #165, Victoria Racette Local IIA, Saskatoon Métis Local # 126, and Gabriel Dumont Local #11. The additional First Nations represented by the Saskatoon Tribal Council recognized at the Flag ceremony are: Kinistin Saulteaux Nation; Mistawasis Nêhiyawak ; Muskoday First Nation; and Whitecap Dakota First Nation.
About Urban Reserves and Treaty Land Entitlement
Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) is a process used by the Federal and Provincial governments to resolve outstanding obligations to First Nations who did not receive all of the Reserve land to which they were entitled under Treaty. TLE has enabled First Nations to purchase land and transfer it to Reserve status. The City of Saskatoon welcomes these investments in the city and the region, which support the economic, environmental, social, and cultural well-being of the entire community. Before an urban Reserve is created, the City of Saskatoon and the First Nation sign agreements that cover commitments to work together, municipal services, fees for services, and compatible standards for development.
For more information on the First Nations who have land holdings or reserves within the City of Saskatoon and region, go to www.saskatoon.ca/business-development/planning/programs-projects/urban-reserves-treaty-land-entitlement

Upgrades and reminders for Saskatoon's Dog Parks
May 28, 2024 - 10:00am
- All dogs must have a valid Pet License.
- Bring a leash. Use when entering and exiting the Dog Park.
- Keep your dog in sight and under control. Off-leash doesn’t mean unattended.
- Pick up your dog’s poop and drop it in available waste containers.
- Be prepared! Attend a free Behaviour Awareness Training session held throughout the summer at Dog Parks to learn basic training tips, recognizing and understanding dog behaviour, how to have a more PAWsitive off-leash experience with your dog and more. Dates will be announced online.
As the weather gets warmer, many are looking for opportunities to get outside and the City’s Dog Parks are a great place for dogs and owners to get exercise and socialize. The City currently operates 13 dog parks at various locations throughout Saskatoon. Each Dog Park has unique natural and manmade amenities that provide different experiences for dogs and their owners to enjoy. From small urban parks such as Pierre Radisson and Caswell to large rural spaces like Chief Whitecap and Hampton Village and even dedicated spaces for small dogs at Hyde and Charlottetown, there are a variety of off-leash spaces available to explore.
In 2023, the Animal Services team completed a number of Dog Park upgrades including adding the two Dog Parks dedicated for small dogs, installing concrete pads at the entrances to 8 Dog Parks to prevent soil erosion and posting new signage reminding users to be responsible pet owners when visiting off-leash areas.
For 2024, new shared pathway signs and pathway markings will be installed this spring at Silverwood Dog Park. Silverwood Dog Park features an asphalt pathway that is shared by pedestrians, cyclists, dogs and their owners. Markings down the middle of the pathway will separate traffic flow, providing a split roadway for users to travel though the park space. The Animal Services team would like to remind park users to share the pathway, follow the markings and posted signs, be aware of your surroundings and travel at a slow speed when cycling through this shared space.
Dog owners are reminded of their responsibilities when enjoying off-leash time with their pet. Here are some reminders for a safe and successful off-leash experience:
Most importantly, have fun! When dogs and owners play by the rules, everyone has a good time. If you have concerns regarding nuisance behaviour of a dog while at the Dog Park, contact the Saskatoon Animal Control Agency at 306-385-PETS.
For more information on Dog Parks, visit saskatoon.ca/dogparks.
