News Releases

New landfill gas wells and piping are being installed at the Saskatoon Regional Waste Management Centre (Landfill) to expand the landfill gas well field and to collect more methane from decomposing waste.

This work may temporarily result in some noticeable odours in surrounding areas, depending on wind direction and speed.

Additionally, the work will have no impact on air quality and will not pose health risks to residents. Construction is planned to begin this week and is expected for six weeks.

The Landfill Gas Collection & Power Generation System is currently responsible for reducing over 50,000 tonnes of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) per year; the equivalent of removing over 10,000 vehicles from the roads. When the expansion of the system is complete, the total annual destruction is expected to reach 80,000 tonnes of GHG per year. The system currently produces enough energy to power 1,200 homes each year and creates revenues of approximately $1.3 million for the City from the sale of power to SaskPower.

More information on our clean power generation initiatives can be found here.

Drivers will notice lane restrictions on College Drive this week. Crews are laying down temporary above-ground water lines next to the road in preparation for what is anticipated to be a months-long water main maintenance project between Cumberland Avenue and Clarence Avenue. The project will begin next week and wrap up in October. 

“Maintenance work on water mains under this section of College Drive is required to continue providing reliable water service,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “The planned maintenance work is a trenchless method where pits are dug at various locations on College Drive, and plastic tubing is inserted into the existing water main to extend the lifespan.”   

The project will be phased and completed block-by-block with pits dug in various spots within each work zone. Two-way traffic will always be maintained, however, there will be lane restrictions. Schmidt says drivers can expect delays while this important water infrastructure work takes place.  

“Access points to the University of Saskatchewan, Royal University Hospital and Saskatchewan Cancer Centre are located along College Drive. There will be no access restrictions, however, due to anticipated traffic delays, we encourage anyone visiting these locations between now and October to take note and consider allowing extra travel time. From time to time, pedestrians may also be redirected to cross College Drive at different locations.” 

To see where current road restrictions are on College Drive, and on other priority Saskatoon roadways during the 2024 construction season, residents can check and/or subscribe to the City’s Daily Road Report. Saskatoon Transit will be affected. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit.  

Work zones are clearly marked with orange signs and pylons. Drivers are asked to slow down, pay attention, and watch for workers. 

For more information on this and other upcoming water main and road related construction projects this year, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.  

The City’s Compost Depot is set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off leaves, grass, sod, topsoil, garden refuse, pumpkins, and non-elm branches, stumps and tree trimmings at no cost. This helps keep yard waste out of the Landfill and produces high-quality, nutrient-rich compost and mulch used in Saskatoon’s parks and community gardens.

In addition to dropping off yard waste, residents are welcome to take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the West Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street. Residents can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, while supplies last. Accessibility will be dictated by site conditions. The Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:50 p.m.

As a result of 2024/2025 Budget Deliberations, the East Compost Depot is permanently closed and no longer providing services to residents.

All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #8310).

The City Compost Depots do NOT accept elm wood, sawdust, treated and untreated lumber, building materials, garbage, or any animal waste/litter. Food waste is also NOT accepted for drop-off at the compost depots; selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can be placed in Green Carts. Excess yard waste is welcomed at the West Compost Depot

For more information on the City’s Compost Depot, please visit saskatoon.ca/compostdepot.

Nearly 16,000 residents will be welcoming a new smaller black cart to their household this spring. If you requested a smaller black cart before March 1, your new cart will be delivered between April 15 and June 15. The delivery schedule is available online now at saskatoon.ca/cartswap.

Cart swaps will correspond with your regularly scheduled garbage collection day. Make sure to roll out your existing cart on each garbage collection day and leave it out until 6PM during the cart swap window. Existing carts must be left at their collection location (front street or back lane, depending on your address) to be emptied. The smaller cart will not be delivered unless your existing cart is retrieved. 

Some neighbourhoods have more carts being delivered than others and will take up to two collection routes to be completed. Check the schedule to find your swap days.

If you missed out on the first cart swap period, there will be another opportunity to swap your cart in the fall with requests being accepted beginning July 8, 2024.

Visit saskatoon.ca/cartswap for all the details and to see when your neighbourhood is getting swapped. To learn more about the Black Cart program, visit saskatoon.ca/blackcart or call Customer Care at 306-975-2476.

Saskatoon’s 2024 Civic Election will be held on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Eligible voters will cast their ballot for Mayor, City Councillors, and Public and Catholic School Board Trustees for the next four-year term of local government.

The City Clerk’s Office reminds any unofficial or prospective municipal election candidates that the The Campaign Disclosure and Spending Limits Bylaw, 2006, outlines the campaign financing rules for the 2024 Civic Election this November:

• The Campaign Period as defined in the Bylaw begins on June 1 of the year of a general election, ending on the date of the election; in this election year that date is November 13, 2024. 

• The Campaign Expenses Period also begins June 1, but runs until December 15, allowing for accommodation and accounting of final expenses.

Campaign expenses, except the allowed activities as defined in the Bylaw, are not to be incurred outside of the Campaign Expenses Period.

Exceptions allowed are for the advance preparation of:

• election advertising materials
• website development
• signs
• incidental financial charges associated with accepting campaign contributions

These expenditures may be incurred prior to the Campaign Expenses Period, but they must be recorded and disclosed as campaign expenses in accordance with the Bylaw and the materials or resources are not to be used until the Campaign Period (June 1 to November 13).

The City of Saskatoon has appointed an independent Election Disclosure Complaints Officer to investigate any complaint where a candidate has filed false, misleading or incomplete disclosure of campaign contributions or expenses pursuant to the Bylaw.  Following an investigation, the Officer makes a final determination about the validity of complaints and any recommendations of whether prosecution is warranted.

Failing to file the required statement of campaign contributions and expenses may also result in prosecution under the Bylaw.

The Bylaw contains offences and penalties, which include fines and disqualification from office for any candidate who is elected and found to have contravened any provision(s) of the Bylaw.

The City Clerk’s Office recommends anyone interested in running for City Council carefully review the requirements of the Bylaw and The Local Government Election Act, 2015 to avoid any inadvertent violation of the Bylaw and Act which could affect their ability to serve should they be elected.

Any election-related questions or concerns can be directed to the City Clerk’s Office at city.clerks@saskatoon.ca or call 306-975-3240.

Visit saskatoon.ca/vote for additional 2024 Civic Election-related information.

As the snow melts away and the roads fully dry, typically in early April, we deploy our street sweepers to tackle the debris left behind on our dirtiest streets. 

Day and night, our crews dedicate the first four weeks or more to the streets bustling with traffic and coated in dirt and dust that require special attention. To efficiently remove the bulk of the debris, we maneuver around parked cars for a swift cleaning of street gutters and concrete or grass-covered medians. 

Next–in early May–we schedule sweeping for every single street in the city. At that time, we will place "No Parking" signs so we can clean the entire road. Your assistance in moving parked vehicles off the street and adhering to parking restrictions will be appreciated. 

What about those pesky potholes? We use a temporary cold asphalt mixture for urgent repairs to potholes on high-priority streets until hot mix asphalt is available later in April for a more permanent repair. Please phone our Customer Care Centre if it’s a dangerous location or a settled pavement cut at 306-975-2476. Learn more about potholes and utility cut repairs at saskatoon.ca/potholes.  

Let's work together to maintain a clean and inviting city. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a fresh start this spring!  

Sweep information can be found at saskatoon.ca/sweep.

As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions. 

Ice thickness is no longer suitable for winter recreational use. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe. Fire crews have updated the posted signage to read “No Skating” at each recreational storm pond. 

Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including removing personal belongings, as well as user safety. 

Additionally, ice on the South Saskatchewan River has also started to melt. The ice that covers this body of water is unpredictable and is therefore never safe for winter recreational use. Residents are asked to never venture out onto the ice that covers sections of the South Saskatchewan River. 

Community members are advised to always exercise an elevated level of caution when around any large body of water. Keep a close watch on children and pets when visiting trails, parks, or off-leash areas that may run adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River or a storm water retention pond. 

For more information regarding the Recreational Uses of Storm Water Retention Ponds policy, visit saskatoon.ca/ponds.

Over the next several weeks, visitors to the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) will start to see the Zoo animals preparing for the cooler winter temperatures ahead. Many species including the snow leopard, lynx, bobcats, bison and caribou thrive in cooler temperatures thanks to some very cool natural adaptations.

“Caribou are well adapted to life in cold climates,” says Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “The herd at the Zoo is already working on developing their dense undercoat made up of ultra-fine fur and a longer overcoat of hollow guard hairs that will keep them warm throughout the winter. Caribou also have large, sharp hooves that act like snowshoes allowing them to walk on top of the snow.”

Other animals like the grizzly bears and prairie dogs, are getting ready to sleep away the cold winter days.

“Mistaya and Koda have started making their beds so to speak,” says Mitchell. “You might see the bears combing through the extra straw and leaves the zookeepers have placed throughout their habitat. Mistaya and Koda like to carefully select each leaf and piece of straw, only taking the best of the best back to their den to make their bed.”

Dingoes Maple and Euci will soon be off-exhibit as the cool weather settles in. While the dingoes love to play in the snow for brief periods of time, they will be spending most of their time in their indoor habitat in favour of warmer temperatures.

A reminder to purchase your 2023 Zoo Season Passes before December 31, 2022 to receive 2022 rates. Zoo Season Passes are available for purchase at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo or any Leisure Centre.

The Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visit saskatoon.ca/zoo for more information or to plan your next visit.

Helping Canadians upgrade their homes to be more energy-efficient fights climate change, creates good jobs and helps save on monthly bills.

The Community Efficiency Financing initiative is offered through the Green Municipal Fund (GMF) delivered by FCM and funded by the Government of Canada. CEF helps communities of all sizes implement innovative local financing programs that directly help homeowners cut their greenhouse gas emissions, make their homes more energy-efficient, comfortable and affordable, while creating local jobs and keeping the local economy moving.

This initiative is one of the ways GMF continues to build on its 20-year record of supporting transformative environmental initiatives at the community level. The Government of Canada has invested $1.65 billion in the GMF since its inception, enabling municipalities to support projects like this that will leverage local resources to drive innovative solutions.

The Poetry Downtown project features poems from six local poets displayed on the 3^rd Avenue poster directories between 19^th Street and 23^nd Street in Downtown Saskatoon. The theme of the project is Reconciliation.

Launched at the beginning of October, the project will be on display until May 31, 2023. A Call for Submissions was issued in July of 2022. Selected poets and their poem titles are: Robert Benz: The Colour of Sky, Lisa Bird-Wilson: Beside a Residential School, Lauren Klassen: O’ Canada, Mika Lafond: Unapologetic, Jada Morin: it’s always so sad to see, and Jenny Ryan: Sask..

The goals of the project are:

• to enhance and move forward with Reconciliation
• to provide opportunities for artistic expression in the city centre
• to inspire the public through poetry
• to connect the work of local poets to the community

Poetry Downtown was inspired by a challenge from Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada Louise Halfe encouraging municipalities to bring poetry to public places.

“In order to walk or run we must first learn to crawl. It is often the first step toward growth. In Cree, pimitācimo, is in itself a loaded word with multiple beginnings. However, simply translated, it means: we crawl into life with our stories,” explains Halfe.

“Art uses our physicality, spirituality, intellect and emotionality to bring forth our visions. It is expressed through literature in poetry, drama, theatre, dance, music, song and paintings. It is never stagnant. All these enhance and challenge our perspectives, they guide us into the inner center of our being, invite us to grow. These are the visions drawn from the artisan well of the artist. In essence we are all artist. It is simply expressed in multiple ways in all disciplines.”

The public is encouraged to walk along 3^rd Avenue and reflect on the poetry. The Poetry Downtown project is a partnership with Downtown Saskatoon.
