Every year, the City of Saskatoon produces its Service, Savings and Sustainability (SSS) Report. The report focuses on the preceding calendar year and highlights the ways City employees worked to capture savings, enhance services for residents, and make improvements in the area of sustainability.

“The theme of the 2021 report is 2021: Resilience & Readiness,” says Celene Anger, the City’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “We wanted to tell the story of how we worked together to continue delivering and improving programs and services in the second year of a global pandemic, all while working to keep residents and staff safe.”

Initiatives featured in the 2021 report include:

• Doubling minor sidewalk repairs
• City Hall Lobby reconfigured to prioritize customer experience
• Improvements to Saskatoon.ca to make it more mobile friendly
• Reintroduction of prescribed fires to help ecological health
• LED street light upgrade completed
• Solid Waste Reduction & Diversion Plan unveiled
• Facility improvements to increase energy efficiency
• Use of recycled asphalt
• ePermitting improvements for building and development permits

The 2021 Service, Savings and Sustainability (SSS) Report reflects the City’s year-over-year commitment to find savings, explore and take on new challenges, and find practical, forward-thinking solutions to meet the changing needs of the community.

“At the City of Saskatoon, we have a strong commitment to continuous improvement and are always looking for new ways to improve performance and deliver value for taxpayer dollars,” says Anger.

The 2021 SSS Report will be presented as an information item at the Governance and Priorities Committee meeting on Monday, July 18. The report is available now at saskatoon.ca/SSSreport.

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

In response to the high temperatures this week, the Emergency Management Organization (EMO) has activated the Response Plan to support residents in Saskatoon, especially those vulnerable to the heat.

In 2019 the Cold Weather Strategy partners convened and identified a need for an Extreme Heat Response plan to ensure designated cooling spaces are in place for Saskatoon’s homeless population, greatly reducing their risk of heat exposure related illnesses during the summer months. This Strategy has continued to evolve to include water bottle distribution in 2021.  

In the summer of 2021, British Columbia experienced a significant Heat Dome. A review of the incident found that during the Heat Dome individuals 50 years and older, living in private residences, with health issues and social isolated were at significantly greater risk during extreme heat events. The City of Saskatoon has studied the impact of this Heat Dome and has determined that there is a need to expand the Extreme Heat Response Plan to include other Saskatoon residents who may be at increased risk during extended extreme heat events.

The Saskatoon Extreme Heat Response Plan will continue to have a coordinated response to ensure cooling locations, wellness checks and water bottle distribution for residents experiencing homelessness. Additional partners have joined, and are still being sought, for the Extreme Heat Response Plan this year. These additional partners will work together to coordinate activities to support Saskatoon residents who are older adults, living in private residences and may be at increased risk during the extreme heat events. 

Extreme Heat Response is not the sole responsibility of any one organization. It takes a whole community to ensure the safety of those vulnerable to extreme heat. Saskatoon EMO works with many partners in the Extreme Heat Response Plan. These include the Saskatchewan Heath Authority, the Saskatoon Housing Initiative Partnership, Environment and Climate Change Canada and many others.  

If your organization is interested in becoming a partner of the Saskatoon Extreme Heat Response Plan, please contact emo.eoc@saskatoon.ca.

Things to consider during days of extreme heat: 

Keep cool

• Have access to cool drinking water and drink regularly, even when not feeling thirsty
• Move to a cooler indoor space, if possible
• Draw curtains, shades or shutters to help block direct sunlight
• Close windows during the heat of the day to trap cooler air indoors
• Open windows overnight or whenever there is a cool breeze, keeping safety in mind
• Activate air conditioning or open windows in different areas to create a cross-breeze

Sun protection

• Limit physical activity and exposure to the outdoors during the hottest hours
• Wear light coloured and lightweight clothing
• Apply sunscreen and reapply regularly throughout the day
• Wear a hat or other head covering

Be a good neighbour

River safety

Pet wellness

• Ensuring your pet has plenty of fresh water to drink
• Monitoring your pet for signs of heat stress such as rapid panting
• Never leaving pets in parked cars for any amount of time
• Offering your pet a means to cool down such as a wading pool or damp towel

Working safe

• Drink extra water
• Increase breaks out of the sun
• Modify work duties to prevent heat illness

The public has been made aware today that telecommunications provider Rogers outage Friday, July 8 has resulted in widespread service disruption to wireless, cable and internet customers across Canada.

While Rogers is working to resolve their issue as soon as possible, at present, there is no timeline yet for the restoration of services. Until this issue is resolved, customers interacting with City of Saskatoon services should be prepared to use a payment method other than a debit card.

The following City of Saskatoon services are experiencing payment impacts due to the Rogers outage:

• City Golf Courses: Cash or credit card payment only. Debit card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.
• Leisure Centres and Outdoor Swimming Pools: Cash or credit card payment only. Debit card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.
• Nutrien Playland at Kinsmen Park: Cash or credit card payment only. Debit card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.
• Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo: Cash or credit card payment only. Debit card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.
• Gordon Howe Campground: Cash or credit card payment only. Debit card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.

• Saskatoon Transit Customer Service: Able to accept credit cards. Debit Card payments cannot be processed due to the outage.
• Saskatoon Landfill: Accepting cash only. Issues with debit and credit cards.
• City of Saskatoon Parking payments throughout the city: The new app ParkedIn can still accept credit card payment. ParkedIn also accepts online payment.

Watch for updates on City of Saskatoon services and the return of normal payment processing as we learn more from Rogers.

A Tornado Watch has been issued for a number of areas in Western Canada including Saskatoon. The City wishes to remind residents that tornados can appear quickly and to be on alert. 

A Tornado Watch means keep an eye out for a possible tornado. A Tornado Warning means a tornado is either imminent or occurring.

Signs for a tornado can include:

• Severe thunderstorms, with frequent thunder and lightning.
• An extremely dark sky sometimes highlighted by green or yellow clouds.
• A rumbling or whistling sound.
• A funnel cloud often tucked behind a curtain of heavy rain or hail.

In addition to watching conditions yourself, it’s a good idea to be signed up for the following emergency notification systems: SaskAlert, WeatherCAN, and City of Saskatoon NotifyNow Emergency Alerts.

Environment Canada is responsible for informing the public when conditions exist that may produce tornadoes. It does this through radio, television, newspapers. Please keep an eye on these or other reliable sources of information.

How to prepare:

• Store or anchor loose objects like patio furniture and outdoor toys.
• Store garbage and recycling carts as soon as possible after collections.
• Plan to stay off the roads if possible. Extreme winds can contribute to loss of vehicle control, or even overturning of vehicles.
• Beware of fallen branches, trees, or power lines. If you encounter a fallen power line, stay clear of it, and please report it immediately.
• Be prepared for the possibility of a power outage and have emergency supplies on-hand including flashlights, batteries, activities, and food.
• Make sure your pets are safe inside.
• Keep devices charged so you don’t lose communication during an outage.
• When experiencing extreme wind, go to the basement or lowest level of your living space and stay away from windows.

All restrictions will be lifted as indicated, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances. 

With the arrival of summer weather, the Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) is advising the public to exercise increased caution in and around the South Saskatchewan River. Recreation on the river can be fun and relaxing, but safety should be top of mind when residents approach the water.

Know before you go

Evaluate weather, equipment and water conditions from the shore before approaching the river:

• Be informed of changing water currents. Check with the Water Security Agency for river advisories.
• Plan your route and scout potential hazards or obstacles, including shallow areas and sandbars.
• Check weather conditions.
• Inspect your watercraft for safety preparedness.

Be respectful when operating watercrafts

Operating watercraft on the South Saskatchewan River is permitted where posted and requires proof of competency. When launching a pleasure craft or boating on the river, operators should be familiar with boating regulations and follow the Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide. Watercraft operators are required to have a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD) on board for each person on a watercraft; this includes both human- and motor-powered crafts.

River users should maintain proper river etiquette, and be considerate of others on the waterway:

• Operate your craft at a safe speed.
• Maintain a respectful distance from other river users.
• Do not operate a craft while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Ensure your craft is equipped with appropriate markers and lighting.
• Care for the environment by properly launching, fuelling, starting, and loading your craft.

Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River

Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits. Wading or walking through the water is permitted unless otherwise posted. Protective footwear is recommended when walking along the river’s shore or sandbar to avoid cuts and abrasions from sharp rocks or other hazards.

View weir from a safe distance

The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that is capable of trapping objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from a safe distance.

Water rescue tips

If you witness someone in distress in the river:

• Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time, and situation.
• Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
• Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.

In the event that you are in distress in the river:

• Stay calm.
• Keep your head above the water.
• Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
• Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.

Always be cautious near larger bodies of water. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

The City is pleased to announce that the City’s Public Art Advisory Committee has received a sculpture on temporary loan from Saskatoon artist Douglas Bentham.   

“We are always grateful for an opportunity to enhance our public art program,” says Community Development Manager Kevin Kitchen.  “Public art transforms public spaces and engage with audiences to promote an appreciation for contemporary art practices.  

Titled “Perfect World” the 12m-tall (40 foot) stainless-steel sculpture will be on display near the intersection of Idylwyld Drive and 20^th Street East until June 30, 2025.  

“The sculpture is a tribute to Mother Nature,” Bentham says. “The subject matter speaks for itself: a gleaming sphere held aloft on a man-made column.”  

Bentham is a practitioner of abstract, constructivist sculpture for over forty years.

Other Bentham sculptures on exhibit in Saskatoon include: 

• Unfurled at Spadina Crescent and 25^th Street; and  
• Gentle Rain (on-loan from Remai Modern) in Hyde Park.

Construction is expected to cause traffic delays on two major roadways over the next few weeks.

Beginning the evening of Tuesday, July 5, the 22-year-old Attridge Drive overpass at Circle Drive will undergo preventative maintenance, including repaving, over the next six weeks. One lane will remain open for traffic in each direction, and on and off ramps will remain accessible. At times during construction, there will be work underneath the overpass and lane closures on Circle Drive North can be expected in the evening hours.

Also on Tuesday, July 5, resurfacing will begin in the northbound lanes of Idylwyld Drive North from 51st Street to Marquis Drive. One northbound lane will always remain open to traffic and the project is expected to continue for approximately two weeks.

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

Please note, children under the age of 6 must be supervised by an adult or responsible youth (14 years or older) at all times during Play Program hours. To help preschool age children stay safe in and around the water, the City requires that all participants comply with the following policy: "For every 2 preschoolers under the age of 6, there must be one adult or responsible youth (14 years or older) within arm's length, supervising the preschoolers' water play and activity."

With elementary and high school classes wrapping up this week for the school year, the City is reminding people that reduced speeds in school zones will be in effect 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 7 days a week, when school resumes in the Fall.

The changes to effective dates and times for the 30 km/h speed limit in school zones, the introduction of new playground reduced speed zones, and removal of school zones around high schools will take effect September 1, 2022.

Throughout the summer, City crews will be installing new playground signs and revising signs near schools.

As signs are installed, drivers are encouraged to follow the new direction; however, enforcement will only begin after the September 1, 2022 effective date.

Currently, school zones are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday from September 1 to June 30.

The City thanks everyone for their cooperation and attention in these areas where young children are playing and learning. More details are available at saskatoon.ca/speedlimit.
