News Releases

Winter BYXE Week will take place February 15 - 23, 2025. Many activities and events are planned throughout the week, including Bike to Work Day on Thursday, February 20. Local advocacy group, Saskatoon Cycles, is coordinating the events in partnership with the City of Saskatoon, including a BYXE Week scavenger hunt and photo contest.  

“Riding a bike is great for physical and mental health; regular exercise leaves you feeling refreshed, energized and alert,” says Nathalie Baudais, Transportation Engineering Manager. 

“Don’t limit your cycling adventures to warm weather seasons. Add winter cycling to your list of must-do winter activities like skating, sledding, skiing and snowshoeing. It's a convenient and low-cost form of everyday transportation that benefits Saskatoon by decreasing traffic congestion, noise and air pollution.”  

BYXE Week is a great time to explore Saskatoon. Visit saskatoon.ca/byxe for bike routes and safety tips. 

Bike to Work Day will be held on Thursday, February 20. Commuter Stations, sponsored by local organizations and businesses, will be serving refreshments and snacks for people on bikes during their morning and afternoon commutes. Visit saskatooncycles.org/winter-byxe for a list station locations and times. 

This initiative underscores the joy of biking, promoting good health, saving money and contributing to environmental sustainability.  

If you live too far away to ride your bike, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. Plan your trip using the Transit app. 

For detailed information and event updates, residents can visit  saskatooncycles.org/winter-byxe and join our Facebook Event for updates!

The City of Saskatoon has declared a snow event following 11cm snowfall over the last 2 days. City crews and contractor graders are now mobilized to clear all priority streets within the next 72 hours. 

What this means for residents: 

• Priority 1 streets (Circle Dr and streets with three+ lanes each way like Idylwyld Dr, 22nd St and College Dr.) will be cleared first, followed by Priority 2 streets (Double-lane streets like Clarence Ave, McKercher Dr and Millar Ave.) and Priority 3 streets (These streets take you through your neighbourhood like Louise Ave, Howell Ave and Main St) 

Snow removal on priority streets has now been postponed until later next week to allow crews to focus on clearing fresh snowfall and maintaining safe road conditions. 

Today, there will be 12 sanders, 26 graders, and 7 plows working to maintain City streets. Residents are urged to use caution and be prepared for slippery roads, snow ridges, and potentially limited visibility. Watch for blue and amber flashing lights on snow maintenance equipment and give operators plenty of space to work.

The City has opened the 2025 Call for Submissions for its annual Living in Harmony Awards. This year marks 30 years of these awards that recognize outstanding achievements in contributing to community harmony through the elimination of racial discrimination in our community. They are presented annually in March, which the City of Saskatoon has proclaimed Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Month since 1990.

This year’s theme is We Belong Here-Many Stories Make Up Saskatoon and we know there are so many people who have stories to tell that celebrate inclusion and equity and discuss the elimination of racism. The Living in Harmony Awards encourage creativity in expressing and telling these stories.

Nominations will be accepted for:

• Any individual or organization that is contributing to improving the inclusivity and harmony of Saskatoon or contributed to the elimination of racism.
• Submissions from students and schools that speak to inclusivity and anti-racism using any expressive form (photos, art, written, video, etc.).

Nominations are being accepted until 3 p.m. on March 5, 2025. The submission guidelines and forms are available at saskatoon.ca/LivingInHarmony.

The Living in Harmony Awards are part of the City’s commitment to making Saskatoon an inclusive and equitable space where racism has no place. The Living in Harmony Award winners are selected by the City of Saskatoon's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Committee. These names will be announced on March 21, 2025, which is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
 

The City of Saskatoon is proud to announce its recognition as one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers for 2025. This honour reflects the City's commitment to fostering a supportive and dynamic workplace that prioritizes employees' well-being and professional growth.

"We are proud to be acknowledged as one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers for 2025. Our employees are at the heart of our success, and this award is a reflection of their hard work," says Chelsey Mack, Director of HR Shared Services. "Our focus on mental health and our Corporate Value of Safety in all that we do has played a key role in earning this honour, and we will continue to prioritize these areas."

The City of Saskatoon was evaluated on eight key criteria, the same used for Canada’s Top 100 Employer’s competition: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

The City views its employees as its greatest assets and places a strong emphasis on mental health and well-being.  “We strive to provide an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, respected, and appreciated for the work they do,” Mack says.  

The City offers a range of benefits to promote both physical and mental well-being, including discounted access to city leisure facilities and programs, on-site noon-hour yoga programs, as well as mental health training.

Employers are compared with other organizations in their field to determine which ones offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. The City has now been honoured with this award for the tenth time.

Saskatchewan’s 2025 Top Employers are highlighted in today’s online Saskatoon StarPhoenix and Regina Leader-Post.

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Blowing Snow Advisory for Saskatoon and is currently forecasting as much as 15 cm of snow over a 36-hour period, beginning this afternoon. This may cause reduced visibility and mobility on roadways, and City crews are prepared to respond.

If conditions warrant, the City may declare a snow event (when more than 5 cm of snow falls). This would activate contractor graders to assist in clearing all priority streets within 72 hours.

Crews will closely monitor road conditions and address snow and ice along priority streets and busy intersections. However, strong winds may blow sand and salt off treated surfaces, potentially leading to icy spots as temperatures drop.

When approaching road maintenance equipment such as graders and snowplows with blue and amber flashing lights, give operators plenty of space to work safely.

For more information about winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow. Stay updated on current conditions through the Snow & Ice Report at saskatoon.ca/snowreport.

The City of Saskatoon issued 2025 Reassessment Notices to more than 100,000 property owners via mail earlier this week along with an informative guide.

The 2025 Assessment Roll, a listing of all properties in Saskatoon, is open for public inspection from January 27 to March 28, 2025. This timeframe also marks the 60-Day Customer Review Period in which property owners may formally appeal their property’s assessed value in 2025.

“As a result of the 2025 Reassessment, the average residential property’s assessed value in Saskatoon will increase by 13%,” Bryce Trew, City Assessor says. “Important to note, this does not mean your residential property tax will go up 13%. If your property’s assessed value changed more than 13% from 2024 to 2025, then your share of property tax will increase. If it increased less than 13%, your share of property tax will decrease.

 “We encourage property owners to review their property’s new 2025 assessed value and their property’s characteristics on our website by using the online Property Assessment and Tax Tool or if they prefer, to contact us if they’d like to review the information we have on file about their property. We are here to help property owners who would like to connect with us by email, phone or in-person by appointment,” Trew adds.

Highlights of the 2025 Assessment Roll:                         

• The total value of the 2025 Taxable Assessment Roll is 47.2 billion, compared to 43.1 billion in 2024 as a result of the 2025 reassessment.
  • Commercial Assessment accounts for 9 billion (approx. 3,400 properties)
  • Residential Assessment accounts for 34.2 billion (approx. 93,000 properties)

• The typical residential property assessed value in Saskatoon increased 13% and the typical non-residential (commercial) property assessed value decreased 2%. (In the last reassessment cycle, the residential tax class decreased 7% and the commercial tax class increased 8%.)

• • Note: If a property owner had an assessment value increase of 13%, this does not mean their property tax will increase 13%.

Key Findings from the 2025 Assessment Roll by Assessment Sub-Groups

• Residential Tax Classes: The average assessment value increase for this tax class, is 13%.
• Single-Family Residential value increased 13% (Median Assessment is 394,200)
• Residential Condominium value increased 5% (Median Assessment is 216,500) 
• Multi-Family value increased 24% (Median Assessment is 1,966,000)

Commercial Tax Classes: The average assessment value increase for this tax class, is –2%.

• Retail value decreased 10% (Median Assessment is 1,393,600)
• Office value decreased 17% (Median Assessment is 1,325,000)
• Industrial value increased 10% (Median Assessment is 1,502,550)
• Hotel value decreased 13% (Median Assessment is 8,549,600)

Helpful Online Resources for Property Owners

Property Assessment & Tax Tool: Review the characteristics the City has on file about your property, check other assessments in your area, review market area sales, historical tax information and more.

Revenue Neutral 2025 Property Tax Estimator: Preview an estimate of the change in your 2025 property tax as a result of the 2025 Reassessment. The estimate shown is not your final property tax amount; it does not include 2025 budget changes, or yet to be approved tax policy decisions to be set by City Council and the Province in March and April. Property owners will receive their 2025 Property Tax notice by mail in May 2025.

Repairs to the sanitary sewer line damaged during a fire last week under the University Bridge are complete and the bridge has been fully reopened to traffic.

The damaged section of the sanitary sewer main has been successfully repaired. Wastewater flow has been reintroduced to the repaired pipe without issue. The bypass piping installed on the north pedestrian walkway was removed today and all traffic restrictions have been lifted. The walkway on the north side of the University Bridge and the walkway under the far west end of the bridge have been reopened.

The Meewasin Trail underneath the west side of the bridge remains open but the Meewasin Trail underneath the east side of the bridge and trails further down the bank are closed for additional work to take place this spring. Once the snow and ice have melted, the area will be treated to eliminate surface bacteria. The site will then undergo a thorough environmental reassessment by the Ministry of Environment, Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Water Security Agency and the City of Saskatoon.

Repairs to the sanitary sewer line damaged during a fire last week under the University Bridge are nearing completion; however, traffic restrictions remain in place.

The damaged section of the sanitary sewer main has been successfully repaired. Wastewater flow has been reintroduced to the repaired pipe without issue. The bypass piping currently installed on the north pedestrian walkway of the bridge will stay in place as a precaution for the first 24 hours of operation.

Additional lane closures will be required on University Bridge to facilitate the removal of bypass piping. On Tuesday, January 28, beginning at 9:00 a.m. both westbound lanes of the University Bridge will be temporarily closed to allow for the removal of the bypass piping on the walkway. One lane of traffic in each direction will be open until the work is completed. It’s expected it will take crews until approximately 5:00 p.m. to remove the temporary lines, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The walkway on the north side of the University Bridge is closed, but the south walkway is open. For safety, pedestrians and cyclists are advised to stay on the south walkway and off the bridge deck. The Meewasin Trail underneath the east side of the bridge and the walkway under the far west end of the bridge are closed. The Meewasin Trail on the west side of the bridge remains open.

Saskatoon Transit is affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Sewer line maintenance will begin Tuesday, January 28 at WJL Harvey North Park in Silverwood Heights. Residents should note that park access may be restricted and are asked to observe posted signage. We anticipate that the work will be completed before the weekend.

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.

The Saskatoon Fire Department would like to remind residents and visitors of safe practices for purchasing, enjoying and disposing of fireworks. While celebrating the Chinese New Year and the arrival of the Year of the Snake, low-hazard fireworks are permitted on private property from dusk on Chinese New Year's Eve, Tuesday, January 28, until 12:15 a.m. on Chinese New Year's Day, Wednesday, January 29. 

Low-hazard fireworks are designed for public recreational use. These fireworks travel less than 50m (160ft) high and include items such as roman candles, sparklers, fountains, wheels, volcanoes, mines and snakes. 

High-hazard fireworks are designed for professionals and can only be purchased by persons holding a valid Fireworks Supervisor – Level I or Level II card issued by Natural Resources Canada. 

Residents and spectators are reminded of the risks and obligations associated with fireworks:  

• Carefully read and follow the manufacturer instructions.   
• Exercise increased caution when handling and discharging any type of firework.   
• Choose your location wisely. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property.    
• Familiarize yourself with the space requirements for the type of firework being discharged. Requirements vary depending on the firework type. 
• Ensure your location is free of overhead obstructions, is clear side-to-side and is a safe distance from combustible materials.   
• Ensure that it is not windy and that all spectators are safely located to observe the display.   
• Be sure to properly stabilize the firework according to manufacturer direction.   
• Other than sparklers, never light or hold a lit firework in your hand.   
• Always light the fuse at its tip.   
• Never try to relight or fix the fuse on fireworks that did not go off.   
• Have a supply of water available and use it to extinguish debris or smouldering embers before they cause injuries, property damage and/or fires.    
• Keep in mind that you are solely responsible for any debris that may land on spectators or another’s property.   

For more information about fireworks safety, please visit saskatoon.ca/fireworks. 

Property owners, starting January 27, you’re encouraged to check the mail for your 2025 Assessment Notice. This notice will detail your property’s new reassessed value for 2025, which will be used as the starting point to determine your property tax for the next four years.

The 2025 Assessment Roll, a listing of all properties in Saskatoon, will be available for public inspection from January 27 to March 28, 2025.

Follow These Key Steps:

1. Watch your mailbox: Open the 2025 Assessment envelope – it contains time-sensitive information on important dates. Review your 2025 Assessment Notice to see your property’s previous and new assessed value.
2. Check the details: Use our online Property Assessment & Tax Tool to verify the property information the City has on file.  Visit saskatoon.ca/taxtool
3. Compare with neighbours: Check your property’s assessment as it compares with others in your neighbourhood. Visit saskatoon.ca/taxtool
4. Preview your 2025 property tax: Use our Online Tax Estimator to preview an estimate* of your 2025 property tax.  Visit saskatoon.ca/taxestimator
5. Ask questions: Contact our Assessment Office if you need clarification or have questions about your tax class or the information we have on file on your property.
6. File an appeal before the deadline: If you still disagree with your 2025 reassessed property value after speaking with an assessor, submit your formal appeal with applicable fees to the Board of Revision by March 28, 2025. An appeal form is included with your 2025 Assessment Notice or can be downloaded from saskatoon.ca/assessment.

*Please note: Your 2025 property tax estimate is not your final property tax amount; it does not include 2025 budget changes, or tax policy decisions to be approved by City Council and the Province in March and April.

Property owners, your final 2025 property tax amount will be mailed to you in May.

As determined by the province, all municipalities must conduct a reassessment of all property types every four years. The assessment process plays an important role in ensuring a fair and efficient property tax system.

Why properties receive a new assessed value:

• Property values change over time. Reassessment recalculates your property’s assessment to reflect a more updated market value. In this case, the value date is being updated from January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2023.
• Property assessment values help determine an equitable distribution of the property tax load; owners of similar properties pay similar property tax and contribute appropriately.

For more information, including informative videos and helpful guides to the 2025 Reassessment, visit saskatoon.ca/assessment.

Questions? Please email assessmentsubmit@saskatoon.ca, or call 306-975-3227 to speak with a City Assessor or make an in-person appointment. We're here to help.

The City of Saskatoon is making significant progress on snow removal from priority streets. Snow piles and windrows have been removed from approximately 70 per cent of all priority streets. It is anticipated that snow removal on all priority streets will be completed by mid-February, barring any significant equipment breakdowns or unforeseeable circumstances, and weather permitting 

If another snow event occurs, crews will implement the City’s regular snow response, which includes clearing all priority streets before resuming snow removal. This may result in delays to the expected completion timeline. 

When approaching road maintenance equipment with blue and amber flashing lights, please give operators plenty of space to work safely. 

For more detailed information about winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow, and stay informed with the Snow & Ice Report for current conditions.

The watchful eyes and quick action of a Transit supervisor patrolling the downtown bus terminal earlier this week likely prevented bear spray incidents involving employees or customers.  

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) recently arrested several people related to the use and possession of bear spray between January 19 and 21.  In one incident on Tuesday, January 21, the patrolling Transit supervisor saw a group of people with cans of what looked like bear spray get on a bus; the supervisor immediately reported it to the SPS who subsequently searched the suspects and made arrests.   

Saskatoon Transit increased its uniformed presence in the bus terminals and on buses this year to improve safety for employees and customers.  

All supervisors and bus operators have a direct line to emergency services and protocol to follow when they notice suspicious activity.

The University Bridge has reopened after a fire underneath the bridge deck late Sunday night resulted in damage to a sanitary sewer main and a full bridge closure.  

The bridge reopened following a structural inspection this morning, however, traffic restrictions are in place until the sanitary sewer line, which was melted by the fire, can be repaired. A temporary bypass line will remain on a section of the east end of the bridge and on the north walkway, which remains closed.

“Until the sanitary sewer line is repaired, and the bypass line is no longer needed, traffic is being accommodated with one lane in each direction,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation. “Signage is in place and drivers are encouraged to utilize the zipper merging technique by taking turns at the merge points.”

The City of Saskatoon continues to work closely with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment as wastewater spilled out of the damaged sanitary sewer line onto the bridge arches and riverbank below. The Meewasin Trail underneath the east side of the bridge remains closed as the cleanup continues. The walkway under the far west end of the bridge also remains temporarily closed to accommodate the bypass sanitary sewer line. The south walkway of the bridge and the Meewasin Trail on the west side of the bridge are open.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.

Lorne Avenue will be closed between Hilliard and Isabella streets starting this morning for unplanned water main repairs. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone.

The University Bridge, which has been closed to traffic since early Monday morning due to a fire which resulted in damage to a sanitary sewer main underneath the bridge, will be inspected tomorrow. If there are no structural concerns and the bridge re-opens, traffic restrictions will be in place until the damaged sanitary sewer line can be repaired.

“Heat from the fire melted the sewer line, so until the repair is complete, a temporary bypass line will remain on a section of the east end of the bridge deck and on the north walkway,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water and Waste Operations. “At this time, we don’t have a timeline for repair.”

The City of Saskatoon has been working closely with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment to comply with regulations, and today crews are on the scene cleaning up frozen wastewater that spilled out of the damaged sanitary sewer line. The City will then be able to safely access under the bridge to conduct tomorrow’s inspection.

The walkway on the north side of the University Bridge is closed, but the south walkway is open. For safety, pedestrians and cyclists are advised to stay on the south walkway and off the bridge deck. The Meewasin Trail underneath the east side of the bridge and the walkway under the far west end of the bridge are closed. The Meewasin Trail on the west side of the bridge remains open.

A fire that started underneath the University Bridge overnight is extinguished, but the bridge remains closed to traffic. Detours are in place.

Heat from the fire melted the 400 mm sanitary sewer line underneath the bridge. A temporary 500 metre bypass line is now in place and operational. Arrangements are being made for a contractor to repair the damaged sanitary sewer line.

City engineers have completed an initial assessment of the bridge and there appears to be no structural concerns, however a bridge inspection has been scheduled for Wednesday, January 22. Although the bridge will remain closed to traffic until the inspection is completed or the damaged sanitary sewer line can be repaired, the pedestrian walkway on the south side of the University Bridge remains open. The Meewasin Trail underneath the east side of the bridge is closed.

Saskatoon Transit is affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
