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.

Dozens of residents in Saskatoon’s Haultain and Queen Elizabeth neighbourhoods can rest a little easier knowing there is less of a likelihood of their properties flooding during intense rainfalls. A new dry storm pond in W.W. Ashley District Park, enjoyed as a newly developed park and sports field during dry weather, officially opened today.

The new dry storm pond is the first of nine to be completed under the Flood Control Strategy (FCS) which was approved by City Council in 2018. The second project is underway right now in Churchill Park and will open in fall 2023. In early 2023, construction will start on a dry storm pond in Weaver Park and six more FCS projects will be built between 2024 and 2027. The Government of Canada has contributed $21.6 million towards Saskatoon’s Flood Control Strategy through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.

“Our Government is proud to be contributing to Saskatoon’s Flood Control Strategy,” said the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities. “By investing in disaster mitigation and adaptation, we are safeguarding Saskatonians’ homes and livelihoods against the natural events brought on by climate change and building more resilient Prairie communities.”

“The W.W. Ashley Park Dry Storm Pond has already proven to be a tremendous success,” said Saskatoon Mayor, Charlie Clark. “During a significant rain event this summer, it prevented flooding in an area of the city that historically experiences floods. It also provides accessible walking paths and retains recreational space and green space when not containing storm water. The City has plans for more dry ponds and will continue work on projects in the Flood Control Strategy to help minimize flooding in the highest risk locations in the city. Through continued partnerships, we’re able to deliver better infrastructure to residents that help mitigate damage from natural events.”

“We have a well thought out strategy in place to ensure all of our projects are built and functioning by 2027,” said Russ Munro, Director of Saskatoon Water. “Flooding is never ideal, but I think we were fortunate to witness how this first flood mitigation project actually ended up exceeding our expectations during the rainstorm on June 20^th. It demonstrated these projects are a solution when it comes to protecting neighbourhood homes from being devastated by floods.”

Dry storm ponds hold water that would otherwise cause nearby flooding during intense rainfalls. The water flows into storm drains, then through underground pipes into the dry storm pond, where it then flows toward and empties into the South Saskatchewan River.

Once the FCS projects are completed, the City anticipates seeing a substantial decrease in the amount of neighbourhood flooding in the top 10 highest risk areas of Saskatoon.

For more information about the FCS, visit saskatoon.ca/floodplan.

The City is excited to announce the return of the leisure facilities Halloween offer, supporting healthy and active children in Saskatoon. Starting Tuesday, October 11, residents can pick up Halloween-themed coupons to hand out to children who come trick or treating at the end of the month. 

The coupons are valid from October 31 to November 30, 2022 and provide 20% off general admission for a family, adult (must be accompanied by a child) or youth at any of the Leisure Centres (Cosmo, Lakewood & Lawson Civic Centres, Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre, Saskatoon Field House and Shaw Centre) and indoor rinks (ACT, Archibald, Cosmo and Lions).  Admission for our smallest trick or treaters, children under six years of age, is always FREE, year-round!

The coupons will be available to residents for pick up at any of the Leisure Centres on a first come, first serve basis.  A maximum of 50 coupons per customer will be given. 

Wishes for a healthy and happy Halloween are extended to all residents with a Halloween day only offer. Starting at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 31 patrons will be eligible to receive 20% off a Family, Adult or Youth Leisure Centre general admission.

Saskatoon Transit received 40 bus stop nominations from residents during the 2022 edition of the Bus Stop Blues campaign.  

As part of the campaign, which is now in its fourth year, stop nominations are grouped into one of three categories: sidewalk/accessibility; new shelter/repair; or general maintenance. This year, 90% of the nominations were for either for a new shelter or repairs to an existing shelter.

A total of 19 nominations were received through this year’s campaign for a new shelter, all of which will be reviewed in detail.

“When determining a new shelter location, we look at safety and connectivity, property lines and also examine how a location request correlates to what is proposed within the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network,” says Cory Shrigley, Customer Support & Engagement Manager with Saskatoon Transit. “Boarding data, direction of travel, service frequency, and whether it serves multiple routes is also taken into consideration.”

Shrigley also notes that many of this year’s campaign nominations involved broken glass at existing bus shelters, these will all be addressed in the coming weeks. When the glass in a shelter is broken, it is cleaned up as soon as it can be, on the day it is reported to Saskatoon Transit, with glass typically replaced within a week. However, this summer many shelters were being smashed on the same day as glass was repaired with the total cost of replacing all glass in a shelter being $2,000.

“The Bus Stop Blues campaign is important to us, as it allows riders an opportunity to communicate where the priority areas are to improve the transit experience” says Shrigley. “Safety, reliability, and ease of access are essential to increasing ridership.”

“As we work towards a BRT system, Transit connectivity becomes even more important. We’re looking to the future in terms of the locations that make sense, along with responding to the needs of those we serve today,” says Taha Najam, Transit Planning Engineer.

The total investment for bus stop improvements from September 2022 – September 2023 is $100,000.

The International Council of Aging designated October 3 to 9, 2022, as Active Aging Week – a time to celebrate aging and the benefits of active living at any age.

Active Aging Week challenges society’s expectations of aging by showing that regardless of age or health conditions, adults over 50 can live life to the fullest.

“Recreation & Community Development prioritizes and encourages Active Aging through the variety of drop-in and registered programs offered at our Leisure Centres”, says Andrew Roberts, Director of Recreation & Community Development. Programs have been categorized as Fit Over 50 programs and provide a guide to physical activity for people 50+.

To celebrate Active Aging week, the City’s Recreation & Community Development department invites residents to stop by a Leisure Centre during Active Aging Week. An ambassador will be on location to talk about fall programs. It’s also a chance to win prizes, visit with friends and relax after exercising.

• Shaw Centre: Monday, October 3 (9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.)
• Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre: Tuesday, October 4 (9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)

The 2022 Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation is all set for this Friday, Sept. 30th, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The walk will take place along a different route than years past; one that includes a portion of the Orange Banner Project route. Walk participants will walk under orange banners with the faces of Residential School Survivors.

Rock Your Roots is a public display of support for Residential School Survivors and Reconciliation that's organized by Reconciliation Saskatoon and the City of Saskatoon. All Saskatoon residents are welcome to take part and there is no registration required. Just show up! ​​​​​​​Walk participants are invited to wear their cultural dress or symbols or an orange shirt.

Event Info

• 10:00 a.m. - Meet at Central Urban Métis Federation Inc. (315 Ave M S)
• 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. - The walk will set out from CUMFI and end at the “Where our Paths Cross” Reconciliation Circle art installation in Victoria Park (across the road from 422 Spadina Cres W)
• 10:45 to 11:30 a.m. - A brief program will be held following the walk

There is no cost to attend, and all ages are welcome. Since many schools are closed this day, this could be a great way for families to participate in Reconciliation action together.

#ActOnReconciliation

Following the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on Sept. 30, 2021, the Saskatoon Tribal Council has initiated a campaign called #ActOnReconciliation. It’s intended to harness the momentum of NDTR and Orange Shirt Day (also Sept. 30th) and keep Reconciliation top of mind all year long. The campaign calls for action and awareness on the last Friday of each month in 2022. In September, this falls on Sept. 30th.

The City is supporting the #ActOnReconciliation campaign by highlighting Reconciliation actions and activities. This month, the suggested Reconciliation action is to participate in a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation activity such as Rock Your Roots.

To further heighten awareness, the City will light up orange on Sept. 30th. This includes applying an orange filter to their social media accounts and lighting the following civic facilities in orange: City Hall, the City’s Prairie Wind art installation outside the Remai Modern, and SaskTel Centre.

*This report includes road restrictions on Priority 1 (high traffic, high speed) streets only.

One more way to take Reconciliation action in conjunction with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Registration has opened for the 8th Wîcihitowin Indigenous Engagement Conference. After two years of meeting virtually, this year’s conference will be held in person at TCU Place on November 28-29. There is also an option to attend virtually.

The Wîcihitowin Conference has been an annual event since 2014 when a group of organizations in Saskatchewan came together to imagine and deliver the first event. “Wîcihitowin” is a Cree/Saulteaux term meaning “to help each other/to work together”. 

“I attended a residential school from 1958 to 1969,” says Residential School Survivor and conference advisor, Eugene Arcand. “This conference is to honour and learn from Residential School Survivors and those that have survived with resilience from the Sixties Scoop. I want to thank everyone who chooses to participate because showing up matters and these conversations matter.”

The conference provides a platform for those with acquired or lived experience to share their teachings. It also provides a forum to share resources and tools to support culturally respectful organizations. The event is for anyone working towards respectful Indigenous engagement and inclusion.

“The City of Saskatoon has been a proud partner of this event since its inception,” says the City’s Director of Indigenous Initiatives, Melissa Cote. “The program is always exceptional and the perspective of speakers so vast and varied. We feel humbled to be a part of this important event that so many people look forward to each year.”

Between 2007 and 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada travelled to all parts of Canada to bear witness to residential school experiences; to create a permanent historical record; and to engage and educate the public about Survivor experiences and intergenerational impacts. The theme of the 2022 Wîcihitowin Conference will be Bearing Witness in acknowledgement of this critical aspect of Reconciliation. 

This year’s speaker line-up includes the Commissioners of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: The Honourable Murray Sinclair, Grand Chief Wilton Littlechild, and Dr. Marie Wilson. Conference attendees will also hear from Chief Cadmus Delorme, Chief of the Cowessess First Nation, and others who are demonstrating leadership in the area of Reconciliation.

Executive-in-Residence at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and conference emcee, Neal Kewistep, says: “Bearing Witness is something that didn’t end with the completion of the TRC’s work. In keeping with the oral traditions of Indigenous Peoples, witnesses are called upon to be the keepers of history when a significant event happens. Bearing Witness is a way to acknowledge, validate, and legitimize the Truth.”

Registration is available at wicihitowin.ca. For conference updates, you can also follow Wîcihitowin YXE on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. 

The Wîcihitowin Indigenous Engagement Conference is made possible through contributions by the City of Saskatoon, United Way Saskatoon & Area, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, Saskatchewan Health Authority, and Saskatoon Public Library. The organizing committee would also like to thank its many investors including Nutrien, the Saskatoon Community Foundation, Saskatchewan Health Quality Council, Discover Saskatoon, and many more.

On National Day for Truth & Reconciliation the City of Saskatoon will show support and honour residential school survivors and their families by hosting free Indigenous activities including hoop dancing, Metis jigging, art and storytelling at Cosmo Civic Centre (3130 Laurier Drive) on Friday, September 30 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  All residents are welcome to attend.
 
This event is part of the City’s commitment to advance its learning journey through creative programming and by responding to TRC Calls to Action #66 on youth programming and #89 on creating health and well-being opportunities by reducing barriers to sports participation.  

The online survey to provide feedback on the two potential locations for a Downtown event centre/arena is open to the public until end of day Monday, October 3. Intercept surveys to hear from residents across Saskatoon are also taking place during this time.  

The City is looking for the public’s views on the opportunities and challenges of the two potential sites under consideration -- Midtown Shopping Centre North Parking Lot (Site A) and the North Downtown/City Yards (Site B).

The online survey can be found at saskatoon.ca/engage and takes less than 8 minutes to complete. Full background information on the project, including artistic illustrations, technical information, and historical context, can be found at saskatoon.ca/eventdistrict. 

A representative sample survey, including a telephone and online panel survey, was completed on September 5. The information gathered from all surveys will be compiled and presented to City Council in November to be considered as part of the final decision on the location for the future event centre/arena site.

The City of Saskatoon and Reconciliation Saskatoon are co-hosting a Pipe Ceremony & Survivors’ Flag Raising this morning to start the week that includes the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

“Our objective is to collectively set intentions for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and the Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation,” says Pipe Carrier and Knowledge Keeper, Corine Eyahpaise. “We are coming together to reflect and also to set our sights on a brighter future for every member of this community.”

The flag being raised is the newly unveiled Survivors’ Flag, meant to honour Residential School Survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the Residential School System in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by Survivors from across Canada. Eugene Arcand – who attended St. Michael’s Residential School in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan and is now Chair of the Saskatoon Survivors Circle – was one of the Survivors consulted in the flag’s creation.

Eugene Arcand says: “On the flag, there is an incomplete circle that surrounds this image much in the same way that there are still many Truths to be told before we come close to understanding the impact residential schools had on Survivors, communities, and the entire nation. And there is a story yet to be told. We are at a point in time where we have to ask ourselves how we want our future generations to see what actions we have taken towards healing and reconciliation.”

The Survivors' Flag will be on display in Civic Square (off 23rd St E, between 3rd and 4th Ave N) until Oct. 3, 2022. Note that the Survivors’ Flag, and all flags in Civic Square, will fly at half-mast until Sept. 29 in recognition of Firefighters National Memorial Day and Police & Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.

Orange Banner Project

During the Pipe Ceremony & Flag Raising, Saskatoon Tribal Chief, Mark Arcand and Saskatoon Mayor, Charlie Clark were invited to speak to the Orange Banner Project. The Orange Banner Project is an initiative to raise awareness about Reconciliation in conjunction with the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It refers to the close to 250 orange banners with Reconciliation messages that were installed on light poles over this past weekend.

“The Orange Banner Project is meant to honour the children that didn’t make it home, the ones who made it home, and the ones that are still lost and away from the home fires,” says Tribal Chief Arcand. “By connecting the west and east sides of the city, the banners signify the need to build bridges throughout our city. It also takes us on a path of recognizing our relatives in the core neighbourhoods, along Spadina Crescent where many churches are located, and by the U of S as a symbol of higher education and a brighter future.”

The banners appear along the following route:

• Starting at 20th Street W where it intersects with Avenue P S
• Continuing east along 20 Street as far as Spadina Crescent E
• Continuing northeast along Spadina Crescent as far as University Bridge
• Restarting on the other side of University Bridge, heading east on College Drive
• Continuing along College Drive until Preston Avenue N

There are 10 different banners, reading as follows:

• Banner #1: More than 150,000 attended residential schools 
• Banner #2: Many never returned home 
• Banner #3: It isn’t just Indigenous history 
• Banner #4: It is our shared history 
• Banner #5: We are telling our stories 
• Banner #6: Every Child Matters   
• Banner #7: Over 160 years of pain 
• Banner #8: But together we can heal 
• Banner #9: Saskatoon Survivors Circle – ayacimoyok “We are telling our stories” 
• Banner # 10: Commitment to Reconciliation [Metis Survivors] 

“We wanted to reach as many people in our city as possible with this initiative,” says Mayor Clark. “We hope that people will make some time to walk along a piece of the route and take in the messages and reflect on them. This is an opportunity to continue building awareness and to create a sense of community since Truth and Reconciliation is up to all of us.”

The Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation on Sept. 30 will take place along a portion of the Orange Banner Project route. You can learn more about the Rock Your Roots Walk at saskatoon.ca/Indigenous or by connecting to the Facebook Event.

The Orange Banner Project is an initiative of the Saskatoon Tribal Council and City of Saskatoon. The Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation is organized by Reconciliation Saskatoon with support from the City of Saskatoon. 

The City of Saskatoon will acknowledge Right to Know Week from September 26 - October 2.

Recognized nationally, the week is meant to raise awareness about the right of all citizens to access information held by public bodies and the benefits of transparent, open and accountable government. Right to Know Day, which promotes freedom of information worldwide, is recognized internationally on September 28.

The City of Saskatoon as a municipal government strives to operate openly and transparently when providing members of the public with access to records in the possession or control of the City. Requests for Access to Information are governed by The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP). The Act's established rules strike a balance between the public’s right to know and the individual’s right to privacy through:

• Freedom of Information: Improving openness and accountability of the City through the provision of legislated rights of access to municipal records; and
• Protection of Privacy: Preventing unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information by the City.

The right of access to information belongs to everyone and is a key enabler for making it easier to request information and documents held by the City.

In its commitment to continuous improvement, the City has made several enhancements to the Access to Information webpage. These include the addition of convenient online submission forms for requesting access to information and paying associated fees online, a more detailed overview of associated costs, Frequently Asked Questions and dedicated pages on the various types of information that can be requested namely:

General Information Requests
Personal Information Requests
External Disclosure Requests – Government Entities

For more information on requesting information from the City, how LA FOIP works and the protection of privacy, visit saskatoon.ca/accessinformation, contact the City Clerk’s Access and Privacy Officer at 306-975-3240 or email city.clerks@saskatoon.ca.

Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is Sunday, September 25, 2022.  In recognition, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will fly at half-mast for the day.

Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is recognized every year in Canada on the last Sunday in September. The day pays tribute to the hard work, dedication and sacrifice police and peace officers have made toward the safety of Canadians.

Flags are flown at half-mast to honour police and peace officers killed in the line of duty. Memorial services will also take place in communities across the country.

The City of Saskatoon’s flags are currently at half-mast until each life lost at James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon has been acknowledged. The flags will remain at half-mast for one additional day in honour of Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day.

The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo (Zoo) is deeply saddened to announce the loss of Buddy, a 15-year-old grey wolf. Animal care and veterinary staff made the difficult decision to euthanize the geriatric wolf due to his declining health associated with his advanced age.

Buddy had been facing some geriatric health concerns including arthritis, kidney issues and failing vision. Staff had been closely monitoring and managing his comfort and care, but in recent months, Buddy’s condition declined significantly. Veterinary and animal care staff made careful adjustments to his medications and treatment plan to ensure Buddy’s comfort. However, his condition had progressed to the point that staff could no longer ensure his comfort and quality of life.  

Buddy arrived at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo in 2007 and played an integral role in the educational programming at the Zoo inspiring guests, students and families to help conserve and protect this incredible species.

“Buddy loved to have visitors at the Zoo,” said Jeff Mitchell, Zoo Manager. “He would often come up to the glass to greet students and families with his unique whimper of excitement. He was an amazing ambassador for his species and will be missed by all who came to know him.”

The average life expectancy of a grey wolf is six to eight years in the wild and up to 15 years in zoological facilities. They grey wolf is classified as Least Concern on the endangered species list.

The Zoo has set up two commemorative signs outside the wolf exhibit at the Nutrien Ark. Everyone is welcome to write a message for Buddy, the signs will be on display until Tuesday, September 27.
