New public art installation - For As Long As The Grass Grows
August 18, 2022 - 1:00pm
The City and the Riversdale Business Improvement District are pleased to announce that a new sculpture entitled “For As Long As The Grass Grows” will be installed in late September on 20th Street West at Avenue B South. The new sculpture will contribute to the City’s growing public art collection and will serve to reinforce and enrich the emerging culture in the Riversdale area.
The public is invited to learn more about the sculpture and to meet Tony Stallard and Joseph Naytowhow at an Artists’ Talk on Saturday, August 20, 2:00 pm at Persephone Theatre, with additional artists performing following the talk.
According to artists Tony Stallard and Joseph Naytowhow, this new stainless steel, bronze and granite sculpture “serves as a reminder of the past but also invites individuals to look forward and to appreciate the natural gifts that surround us like the sun, the grass, and the rivers”.
To learn more about the City’s Public Art Program and/or to browse the collection, visit saskatoon.ca/publicart.
Artist biographies

In addition to his busy schedule of performances, festivals, workshops, and residencies, he has served as a cultural advisor to various institutions such as the Indian Teacher Education Program in Saskatoon, and multiple universities across turtle island.

Year-end options for cost reductions being considered to maintain balanced budget
August 10, 2022 - 4:30pm
A mid-year forecast to be considered by the Standing Policy Committee on Finance shows that rising fuel prices and a snowy start to 2022 have contributed to a projected deficit within the City of Saskatoon’s 2022 Corporate Business Plan and Budget.
As outlined in the information report being presented to committee on August 15, the City is currently projecting a 1.17% unfavourable variance from budget, or an approximately $6.8 million deficit.
“This is due in large part to higher than anticipated gas and diesel prices, which had a $3.5 million impact on the budget, and to high snow accumulations in the first half of 2022, which resulted in a projected $3 million unfavourable variance,” says Kari Smith, Director of Finance.
The projection also includes over expenditures in Information Technology, and various other revenue failing to reach budget, such as those for Fines and Penalties and Leisure Centres.
The mid-year forecast does include several positive trends, notes Smith, including $2.5 million in administrative savings from reduced training and travel and staff vacancies, $1.05 million in higher than anticipated investment returns from rising interest rates, and a $1.13 million increase in Municipal Revenue Sharing. However, due to such favourable variances being used to offset the rising cost of fuel and other shortfalls, Administration is currently projecting an overall deficit of $6.8 million.
Various year-end deficit reduction options of up to $4.2 million have already been developed and reported on, including a one-time increase to the Return on Investment from the Water Utility, returning capital funds back to operating as opposed to reserve, and deferring reserve contributions to mitigate the deficit.
“The mid-year forecast is our best estimate of the 2022 budget position at this time and is still subject to substantial change throughout the second half of the year,” says Smith. “Administration will continue to monitor and manage the 2022 budget and do everything we can to reduce the deficit while still delivering the services Saskatoon residents expect. Although the City has reserves in place to cover a deficit of this magnitude, our goal for 2022 is to avoid leaning on our fiscal stabilization reserve.”
Utilities are expecting a $1.2 million net surplus mostly due to additional revenue in Waste Services and Saskatoon Light and Power, offset by lower revenues and additional costs in Water and Wastewater Utilities. Any utility variance will be offset through transfers to or from the applicable stabilization reserves.

School & playground zones will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 7 days a week
August 5, 2022 - 8:30am
People in all neighbourhoods will be noticing new or updated signs around schools and playgrounds in preparation for changes that take effect next month. Starting September 1, 2022, school and new playground zones with maximum 30 km/h signs will change to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 7 days a week.
The City encourages everyone who sees social media messages, billboards or hears about the reduced speed zone changes over the next month to share it with their family, friends and networks of people who aren’t yet aware.
This is the last summer that school zones won’t be in effect.
Some school and playground signs do not include a posted speed limit, such as around high schools and certain play areas. Drivers should treat the sign as a caution and pay close attention through this area.
U-turns are not permitted in school zones around elementary or high schools.
The new times will be shown on signs marking school and playground zones by the end of August and you can read more at saskatoon.ca/speedlimit.

City exploring second Water Treatment Plant to serve future population
August 4, 2022 - 2:30am
The City of Saskatoon has a responsibility to provide clean drinking water to a growing population through an efficient and reliable water treatment and distribution system. Since it was established in 1906, Saskatoon’s Water Treatment Plant has been expanded to a treatment capacity of 250 million litres per day (MLD). The plant, along with reservoirs and pump stations, serve the city and several surrounding municipal and rural customers.
“We will continue to utilize and upgrade our current Water Treatment Plant and infrastructure for years to come, but we need to begin planning the development of a second plant to increase treatment capacity,” says Pamela Hamoline, Interim Director of Saskatoon Water. “A second plant would eventually bring our total treatment capacity to 450 ML per day, which is necessary for an expected population of 500,000 in the coming years.”
On Monday, the Water Treatment Long Term Capital Strategy will go before the City’s Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services. The report highlights the current and future steps needed to increase treatment capacity.
“Despite many successful water conservation efforts, as well as maintenance and upgrades over the years, it is unrealistic to depend on our 116-year-old Water Treatment Plant to keep up with future demand,” says Hamoline.
Hamoline says an internal Decision Quality Team is committed to ensuring the alignment of the City’s Strategic Goals in determining a treatment plant expansion strategy, including the goal of Environmental Leadership to reduce the City’s environmental footprint and promoting responsible use of resources.
“The team still has a lot of work to do and is currently exploring funding strategies so it can report the findings to City Council. That work will include looking into opportunities and partnerships with Federal and Provincial funding programs.”
The City has a draft Engagement Plan in the works as well, focusing on identifying major stakeholders and opportunities for proactive public communication.
For more information about the Water Treatment Plant, history, distribution system, and treatment process, visit saskatoon.ca/water.
