Get ready to make your voting experience faster: Register for the Voters List before October 22

Elections Saskatoon will use a Voters List for this fall’s civic election for the first time since 1988. The Voters List is a list of eligible, registered voters in Saskatoon. The Voters List makes it easier to verify a voter’s identity, and its use ensures only eligible voters vote once. 

Pre-register for the Voters List to help make your voting experience faster and more efficient when you go to vote, either at early voting opportunities or on Election Day. We encourage all eligible voters to get ready to vote by registering early, here’s how:

Go Online: Visit saskatoon.ca/voterlookup before October 22, 2024, to check, update or add your information to the Voters List:

• Review your information, make sure it’s correct.
• Have you moved? Update your address.
• Just turned 18 yrs.? Register to vote for the first time. Congratulations!
• Changed your name? Update your voter information.

You can also have your information on the Voters List updated or added via these options:

• email elections@saskatoon.ca
• phone the Elections Saskatoon Office 306-657-VOTE (8683)
• in-person at Elections Saskatoon Office at 200-145 1st Ave North. 

Besides making sure you’re registered, and your voter information is correct, it’s important that all voters, regardless of having children in the school system, indicate (or update) the school division you support. This is to ensure you receive the correct ballot when you go to vote.

Note: Only voters who own assessable property, but do not reside in Saskatoon, will select No School Support when they register for the Voters List. 

Remember, voters: if you don’t get a chance to check, confirm or update the Voters List before October 22, 2024, via your available options (online, email, phone, or in person) - not to worry! All eligible voters will be able to register at the voting location they attend either at an early voting opportunity or on Election Day.

The City of Saskatoon has installed a new bike box on Wiggins Avenue at the intersection of College Drive and a painted bike lane for Wiggins Avenue northbound between Elliot Street and College Drive as part of an ongoing commitment to improving road safety for all users.  

The bike box is intended to provide greater visibility and reduce conflict points between vehicles and cyclists. A bike box is designed to provide cyclists with a designated space at the front of the traffic queue. A "no right turn on red" restriction for northbound drivers making a right turn onto College Drive has also been installed.  

A reduced speed limit of 30 km/h on Wiggins Avenue from 50 metres south of Elliot Street to College Drive will take effect on September 30, 2024. New speed limit signage has been installed to inform drivers of the speed limit changes for this block.

Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day is Sunday, September 29, 2024.  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.

City Council unanimously approved $13,284,000 for Affordable Housing Incentives to support 18 projects aimed at developing 492 new affordable rental units in Saskatoon. The capital grants were endorsed at Council’s Regular Business Meeting on September 25. The grants are made possible through the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). Additionally, 17 of the projects received Council approval for a five-year incremental tax abatement, estimated at $3,028,155.15.

"Saskatoon is facing an affordability crisis,” says Mayor Charlie Clark. “These incentives will help provide housing to families, seniors, and students who are being priced out of the current housing market. Affordable housing units keep people safely housed and off the streets in our city, yet they continue to be a gap in the housing continuum. It is our priority to provide housing options for people of all income levels and abilities in Saskatoon."

Affordable Housing Incentives (2024) Overview

The Affordable Housing Incentives Call for Proposals was issued on June 5, 2024, and remained open until July 5, 2024. This initiative invited applicants proposing the construction of new affordable rental units to apply for capital grants of up to $27,000 per unit, along with the opportunity to secure a five-year incremental tax abatement. The program attracted significant interest, with a total of 25 applications submitted.

Eligible projects must involve the construction of new affordable rental units, which may include units within mixed-market developments. Affordable housing is defined as housing for low-income households, with incomes at or below the Saskatchewan Household Income Maximums, while spending no more than 30 percent of their income on housing or set at the maximum funding available under the shelter benefit.

“It’s very important; these incentives, as they will also help us leverage more funding from CMHC and other funders and address the massive need as reflected on our waiting list and in Saskatoon in general,” says Angela Bishop of Camponi Housing Corporation. “In the spirit of reconciliation, kinship and unity we can all be architects of a stronger, inclusive and more vibrant Saskatoon.”

To qualify for funding, applicants were required to have a minimum of five years of experience in the affordable housing sector or residential development. Additionally, successful projects must secure a building permit no later than December 27, 2026, to meet the timelines set by the Housing Accelerator Fund agreement and the units must remain affordable for at least 20 years.

The International Council of Aging designated September 30 to October 6 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.

“The City of Saskatoon’s Recreation & Community Development Department is committed to promoting Active Aging through a variety of drop-in and registered programs available at our Leisure Centres,” says Andrew Roberts, Director of Recreation & Community Development. “Our Fit Over 50 programs are specifically designed to guide and encourage physical activity for individuals aged 50 +”.

To celebrate Active Aging week, the City 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.

• Saskatoon Field House: Tuesday, October 1 (8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.)
• Lakewood Civic Centre: Wednesday, October 2 (8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.)
• Lawson Civic Centre: Thursday, October 3 (10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
• Shaw Centre: Friday, October 4 (9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.)

A 30 kilometre per hour (km/h) speed limit on the Dudley Street neighbourhood bikeway between Avenue P and Spadina Crescent will be in effect starting Monday September 30.

This marks the third neighbourhood bikeway to have a reduced speed limit implemented this year. It follows 23rd Street West and 14th Street East. 

The 30 km/h speed limit on Dudley Street helps create a safer, more comfortable environment for cyclists of all levels, supporting the City’s efforts to promote active transportation. New speed limit signage has been installed to inform drivers of the speed limit changes for this bikeway. 

The reduced speed limits on this key bikeway align with the policy approved by City Council in December 2023. The Dudley Street bikeway links the Meewasin Trail with surrounding residential neighborhoods, Gordie Howe sports complex and employment areas.

The City of Saskatoon Parks Department has confirmed 11 positive cases of Dutch elm disease (DED) in various neighbourhoods throughout the city this summer.  

“It is discouraging to see this record number of positive Dutch elm disease cases in our city; DED can have devastating consequences for our urban forest,” says Thai Hoang, Director of Parks. “The most likely cause of DED is the storage and transportation of elm firewood. If you suspect you have elm firewood, please dispose of it immediately.” 

Here is what Spadina Crecent could look like if DED continues to affect the urban forest. 

If you suspect an unhealthy elm tree or are unsure of what type of firewood you have, take a photo and complete the online form or call Urban Forestry at 306-975-2890. 

Hoang reminds residents they can help prevent Dutch elm disease by:  

• Never storing elm wood or branches. Don’t buy or take elm wood from anyone and don’t burn it. 
• Not pruning elms during the provincial pruning ban (April 1 to August 31). 
• Disposing of elm wood only at the Saskatoon Landfill. 
• Do not take elm to the compost depot or put it in your green bin. Dispose of it immediately; disposal of residential elm wood at the Landfill is free of charge. 

The City has already initiated its DED Response Plan, which includes:  

• Immediate removal of the positive tree(s) and disposal at the City landfill  
• Increased surveillance of the surrounding area to search for stored elm wood  
• Sampling of symptomatic trees within one kilometre of the infected tree  
• Continuing regular elm surveillance and cyclical pruning of trees in parks and on boulevards  

What will happen in impacted areas? 

Parks staff will be conducting surveillance around impacted areas. Surveillance of these areas includes checking every property for elm firewood or brush and removing it when it is found. If residents are not home, staff will remove the elm wood and leave an Elm Infraction Notice with a note, indicating that the wood was removed. 

The Forest Resources Management Act, the Provincial Dutch Elm Disease Regulations, 2005 allows inspectors to enter private property to inspect for elm wood, remove elm wood and sample private elm trees. In accordance with the regulations, property owners will be asked to remove and dispose of infected elm. 

What is DED? 

DED is a serious disease caused by a fungus that clogs the elm tree’s water and nutrient conducting system, which eventually causes the tree to die. DED was introduced in North America in the 1930s and has since wiped out millions of elms across Canada and the United States. In Saskatoon, elms make up 25% of our urban forest. 

How is DED spread? 

In Saskatchewan, the disease is spread by several species of elm bark beetles. These beetles can fly farther than two kilometres in search of elm trees. The DED fungus has tiny spores that stick to the body of the beetle. Elm bark beetles can carry these spores and infect other elm trees. The fungus can also be spread by infected pruning tools. 

For more information on DED, visit saskatoon.ca/dutchelmdisease. 

Avenue H will be closed between 30th and 31st streets on Friday, September 27, starting at 7:00 a.m. for a connection replacement. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take one day to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be 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.

City Council today approved 210 Pacific Avenue for a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency residential shelter. The Government of Saskatchewan’s service provider, The Mustard Seed, is anticipated to open the temporary shelter in Winter 2024 – information on the opening and ongoing operations will come from the service provider.

City Council approved the duration of the shelter for a temporary operation for up to 18 months. Council also approved a request to lease the former Saskatchewan Transportation Company parcel service building at a below market rate. This is a permitted use under the City of Saskatoon Zoning Bylaw.

The property is owned by the City. With some renovation, it will be suitable for a shelter and meet most of the City Council-approved criteria:

• Room for approximately 30 beds each
• Beds in an open shelter-type hall (with movable wall systems or partitions)
• Some private rooms (accessed internally)
• An area suitable for office space for site staff
• Showers, bathrooms, kitchen
• Internal and external gathering spaces (amenity spaces) available on site be considered
• Proximity to other services should be considered
• Zoned appropriately if possible, or applicable for designation under the City’s Emergency Residential Shelter zoning provision
• At least 250 metres from an elementary school in the Saskatoon Public School or Greater Saskatoon Catholic School system

The City led the site-selection process, and the Government of Saskatchewan is funding up to $250,000 for renovations. The Province will also provide all operational funding for shelter services.

Additionally, after hearing feedback from the nearby residents and businesses, the City will be implementing changes to the site plan for the provincial government-funded shelter including:

• Fencing or screening to create a sense of space for those using the shelter, and delineation between the shelter and surrounding businesses. There will be no walk-in access off Pacific Avenue.
• Facility access only from Ontario Avenue.
• 7-day per week, extended hour security/support dedicated to the downtown with a proactive priority focus on the vicinity around the proposed shelter.

A coordinated, integrated operating plan between the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatoon Fire Department will provide essential safety and security for the shelter and downtown area.

City Administration continues to work with the Government of Saskatchewan to identify a longer-term site, or sites, for enhanced emergency shelter spaces. An update will be provided when available. Site options for a permanent location are undergoing the final stages of diligence processes and an update will be provided when available.

The City of Saskatoon is excited to announce the success of our new weekly Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop-off program. Since its launch in June, we've seen an incredible response, with over 1,000 visits from residents committed to properly disposing of hazardous materials.

HHW is accepted every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC), located at 42 Valley Road.

As a reminder, this program is seasonal and the last drop-off day of the year will be Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

For added convenience, the City is adding two special weekend drop-off days: Sunday, October 6, and Sunday, October 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the MRC.  

The HHW collection program is designed to make it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals, and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.

The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reminders: 

• The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
• Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to participants and those used for transporting gasoline will NOT be returned.
• Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and contents are clearly marked. 
• Batteries are one of the most commonly dropped off items at HHW drop-off days. As a note, they are accepted DAILY for free at Sort & Go at the MRC.  
• To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at  saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal.
• There are no public washrooms available at the Material Recovery Centre.

Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!

Richard St Barbe Baker Afforestation Area (RSBBAA) will be getting enhancements in the 2024 construction season as part of the Natural Areas Program. Enhancements include: 

• Tree planting: approximately 1,800 new trees and shrubs in 5 planting areas
• Trail construction: upgrades of an existing dirt path to a 3-meter-wide crusher dust trail
• 1 new waste bin
• New swing gate

Construction of site enhancements are expected to begin the week of September 23 and last until November 2024. During this period, please note that:

• The trail being improved will be closed during this time. Alternative routes will be available for residents to use during construction; see construction signage on site.  
• Parking will remain available at the southwest off-leash recreation area parking lot and southeast parking lots. 
• We kindly ask residents to refrain from using the parking lot at the northeast entrance of RSBBAA, since this lot is owned by TransGas and must remain available for their infrastructure service vehicles. 
• For the safety of you and your pets, please keep your dogs on-leash when outside the designated Southwest Off-Leash Recreation Area. 

For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/RSBBAA.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund.

After hearing feedback from the nearby residents and businesses, the City is proposing changes to the site plan that would be put in place at the provincial government-funded shelter at 210 Pacific Avenue. 

Details of the plan were finalized earlier Friday. Among the proposed measures: 

• Chain-link fence around the former Saskatchewan Transportation Company parcel service building, ensuring no access off Pacific Avenue. 
• Facility access only from Ontario Avenue 
• 7-day per week, extended hour security/support dedicated to the downtown with a proactive priority focus on the vicinity around the proposed shelter. 

Link to site plan. 

Additionally, an integrated operating plan between the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatoon Fire Department outlines the essential safety and security support for The Mustard Seed while they would operate the temporary enhanced emergency shelter along with assistance for downtown residents, businesses and community at large.  

There will be coordinated communications and information sharing among The Mustard Seed, Saskatoon Police and the Saskatoon Fire Department to better address emerging concerns and to be pro-active before issues arise.  

The City agreed to find and propose locations that will meet certain criteria and best suit the needs of the community. The Government of Saskatchewan continues to work with the City of Saskatoon as they work to identify a permanent location to accommodate 60 spaces. 

If the proposed temporary site receives the necessary approvals by City Council on Wednesday, September 25, it is anticipated to open as a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency shelter in winter 2024.
