City Compost Depots set to open on Monday, April 11
April 7, 2022 - 4:11am
The City’s two compost depots are set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off leaves, grass, sod, topsoil, garden refuse, pumpkins, and non-elm branches, stumps and tree trimmings at no cost. This helps keep yard waste out of the Landfill and produces high-quality, nutrient-rich compost and mulch used in Saskatoon’s parks and community gardens.
The West Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:50 p.m. Residents should take note that there will be restricted access to the West Compost Depot beginning Monday, April 11 to help reduce traffic congestion and ensure safe access for visitors. The depot will only be accessible from the Highway 7 southbound, with no access permitted from the Highway 7 and 11th Street intersection. Detour signs will be in place to assist with traffic flow.
Residents also have access to the East Compost Depot located on Highway 5 for drop-off only. The East Compost Depot is open 5 days a week, Thursday through Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) from 11:00 a.m. to 4:50 p.m.
All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #8310).
The City Compost Depots do NOT accept elm wood, sawdust, treated and untreated lumber, building materials, garbage, or any animal waste/litter. Food waste is also NOT accepted for drop-off at the compost depots; some food items can be placed in Green Carts or composted at home.
For more information on the City’s Compost Depots, please visit Saskatoon.ca/compostdepots.
New pay parking app planned to launch in June
April 6, 2022 - 4:30pm
The vendor of the City’s current pay parking application (app), WayToPark, will be releasing a new app in June called Parkedin. Beginning July 1, Parkedin will officially replace WayToPark as the City’s app-based parking payment service.
The Parkedin app will be available for public download and use starting June 1. Both WayToPark and Parkedin will be available in tandem during a transition period from June 1 to June 30, 2022.
The new Parkedin app will operate and function similar to the WayToPark app, with some additional features such as the ability to pay for parking by scanning a QR code on the nearest pay station as well as support for debit payments.
“Our Parking Services team is looking forward to the implementation of the new app to provide an improved offering for customers and to ensure that there is no service disruption.” says Matt Grazier, Director of Community Standards.
A report on proposed amendments to the Traffic Bylaw to facilitate usage of the new app will be presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation on Monday, April 11.

Targeted financial plan & use of reserves recommended to offset 2021 preliminary deficit
April 6, 2022 - 10:25am
- $3.71 million from the reallocation of Canada Community Building Funds originally put into contingency for this specific purpose;
- $1.72 million through a one-time increase from the Water Utility Return on Investment (ROI); and
- $1.11 million to be transferred from the Fiscal Stabilization Reserve.
- Saskatoon Light & Power (SL&P) reported a surplus of $4.49 million.
- Saskatoon Water reported a year-end surplus of $3.63 million.
- Wastewater Utility reported a year-end surplus of $2.74 million.
- Storm Water Management Utility reported a year-end surplus of $345,485.
- Waste Services Utility reported a year-end surplus of $1.04 million.
- the Police Board was under budget by $860,000, this is included in the preliminary year-end deficit.
- SaskTel Centre and TCU Place posted preliminary deficits of $3.96 million and $3.37 million respectively, to be balanced through contributions from their facility and capital reserves.
- Remai Modern posted a preliminary surplus of $310,526.
The City of Saskatoon has released its 2021 preliminary year-end financials showing a $6.54 million deficit in the civic operating programs and a $12.25 million surplus in the utility programs, before year-end audit confirmation.
Although last year brought ongoing change and uncertainty, the City remained dedicated to the delivery of core services residents rely on while continuing to find corporate-wide savings and reduce overall spending. Through the saving strategy, the City reduced training budgets and carefully examined discretionary spending to help make up for reduced revenue and other budget pressures arising from the pandemic. Fuel savings also helped reduce the deficit.
Under provincial law, municipalities are not allowed to operate with a deficit. On April 12, 2022, the City Administration will present a report to the Standing Policy Committee on Finance (7.2.4) that sets out the City’s financial strategy to offset this deficit.
“The preliminary $6.54 million deficit represents a variance of just over one per cent from the City’s overall Civic Operating Budget of $546.6 million,” says Director of Finance, Kari Smith. “Our shortfall is largely the result of snow & ice removal costs resulting from the November 2020 blizzard, higher than anticipated Information Technology costs, and lower than budgeted operating revenues. I’m confident in the well-laid financial plan and strategy Administration is recommending to address the preliminary deficit, and importantly, it won’t impact our future service delivery to residents.”
The Administration is recommending the deficit of $6.54 million be funded by:
“While the City has continued to face significant non-tax revenue challenges in user fees and our other forms of revenue have remained flat or decreased year over year, it is important to recognize that several of our businesses also achieved surpluses in 2022 including Saskatoon Light & Power and Saskatoon Water,” Smith says.
2021 Preliminary Year-end Yields Surplus Utility-Related Results
In addition to the utility posted surpluses:
The City’s Financial Position Remains Future Healthy
The City’s overall and future financial standing continues to be strong and sound, having its ‘AAA’/Stable credit rating reaffirmed by S&P Global in January 2022. In planning for a bright and sustainable future, the City is committed to finding year-over-year increased operational efficiencies, creating greater savings across the organization and recovering from the financial impact of COVID-19.
The external audit of the 2021 financial statements is expected to be completed in June 2022. Following the external audit, the audited financial statements will be presented to City Council for approval. At that time, the year-end financial results will be confirmed or adjusted based on the recommendations of the external audit and presented in the 2021 Annual Report later this year.

A burning issue: smoking materials and fire risk
April 5, 2022 - 7:00am
- Safely store smoking materials up high, away from children’s reach.
- When smoking, use a deep, heavy ashtray that does not tip over to hold ashes and butts.
- Dispose of smoking materials in a metal, ceramic or glass container with a lid that has water or sand at the bottom.
- Keep disposed smoking materials a safe distance from anything combustible.
- Never discard smoking materials in vegetation, mulch, peat moss, potted plants, leaves, grasses, or other easily combustible materials.
- Douse smoking materials in water or sand to ensure they are safely out.
- Cigarettes
- Cigars
- Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), otherwise known as vape pens
- Drug paraphernalia
- Lighters and matches
In recent weeks there has been a noticeable increase in fires resulting from the improper or inadequate storage and disposal of smoking materials; this is of immediate concern to the Saskatoon Fire Department.
Residents are reminded to:
Smoking materials include, but are not limited to:
Smoking material fires are preventable fires. A dropped or improperly disposed cigarette can smoulder for hours before bursting into flames or can ignite sooner in windy conditions. Be a responsible smoker and properly put out smoking materials completely and safely, every time.

Early spring street sweeping and pothole repairs underway as streets dry up
April 1, 2022 - 5:42am
While we won’t say a final goodbye to winter and put the plows and sanders away, there’s optimism that spring is here. Early spring street sweeping on high traffic streets and in City business areas is underway.
Daytime temperatures are consistently above freezing and priority streets, such as 22nd Street and 8th Street, are finally drying up, allowing sweepers to start collecting debris left behind after winter.
Sweepers will go around parked vehicles for this early spring clean-up work, which is quicker and collects an estimated ninety percent of the debris and dust. Watch our video about early spring sweeping or visit saskatoon.ca/sweep to learn more.
If daytime temperatures remain above zero, line painting can begin on some major arterials, and then move to the swept priority streets.
Residential street sweeping gets going in early May where the yellow No Parking signs will allow for the curb-to-curb sweep. More information and schedules will be available in the coming weeks.
Major potholes that can cause vehicle damage or injury are being temporarily repaired before hot mix asphalt for permanent repair is in production mid-April. At that time, City and contractor crews will be out in full force along high-traffic priority streets. In May, potholes will be repaired in residential streets once they are swept.
Let us know about potholes on the Report-a-Pothole interactive map at saskatoon.ca/potholes. The potholes reported and repaired have been removed to make the map easier to look at. To report emergency pothole locations, please phone our Customer Care Centre immediately at 306-975-2476.
Please watch for slow-moving road maintenance equipment and workers, obey detour signs, leave plenty of space and only pass when safe for everyone.
Roof Repaired on 137-year-old Marr Residence
April 1, 2022 - 10:00am
The roof of the 137-year-old Marr Residence was replaced after a leak was identified in 2020. City Council approved a plan to use the capital expenditures reserve, grant funding from the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation, as well as donations from the public to fund the repairs and build capital for any future maintenance of the building.
“The generous donations and support from the public and the grant from the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation were essential to the successful completion of this project,” says Troy LaFreniere, Director of Facilities Management. “The oldest building in Saskatoon on it’s original site, an important heritage site for our community can continue to be maintained for many years to come for residents of Saskatoon and visitors to enjoy.”
The entire roof of the Marr Residence was removed and replaced as well as replacement and repair of rotten wood, soffit and facia. The roof was rebuilt to match the prior structure to maintain the character and heritage of the building. The total cost of the project was $88,689. With the new roof, the building remains in a good state of repair.
“We’re so grateful for the generosity of all those who have donated to the project as the Marr Residence is a piece of history in our City and such an important part of Saskatoon’s story,” says Della Marshall, volunteer board chair for the Marr Residence. “We welcome everyone back to the house.”

City reminds drivers to slow down during expressway maintenance
March 29, 2022 - 3:00pm
From April 1 to October 31, crews will be completing ongoing cycles of mowing and litter cleanup along City expressways. The City reminds residents to slow down when driving by work zones for the safety of crews working adjacent to the expressway.
Drivers are also reminded to cover and secure their cargo when driving on the expressway. Unsecured cargo is the main source of expressway litter and drivers can be subject to ticketing, as per Waste Bylaw 8310.
Securing cargo is not only important for protecting your vehicle and the items that you are carrying, but it is also a critical step in helping to prevent dangerous accidents. You are encouraged to use ratchet straps, bungee cords and/or tarps depending on what you are carrying. This will help to secure your cargo, minimize litter, and help keep everyone safe on the road.
The City thanks drivers for their cooperation.
Year-round School Zones and Playground Zones and extended times proposed to take effect on September 1, 2022
March 29, 2022 - 7:30am
- New playground zones with reduced speed limit of 30 km/h;
- Year-round lower speed limits in both school and playground zones 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Adjustments to posted signs and length of current school zones; and
- Removal of lower speed school zones from high schools, designating them as a “school area” where u-turns are still restricted.
City Council approved the proposed amendments to the Reduced Speed Zones for Schools policy and a new draft policy for Playground Zones to include year-round speed reduction to 30 km/h daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The goal is to have the zones in effect prior to the new school year on September 1, 2022.
The recommendation would align the City’s school zone policy with national transportation guidelines and implement other best practices for pedestrian safety. The amendments include:
An amendment to the Traffic Bylaw will need to be presented to City Council before the effective date is approved. New signs to identify the school and playground zones and an awareness campaign will advise drivers of the changes this fall. More information is available at saskatoon.ca/engage/speed-limit-review.

Sections of Saskatoon streets are icy this morning after freezing rain, snow and freezing temperatures. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution on streets and sidewalks. Morning commuters may want to leave early and adjust driving for the conditions.
City crews and sanders were out all night applying de-icing materials on Circle Drive, freeways and high traffic intersections.
Twelve sanders will be spreading de-icing materials today, focusing on Saskatoon’s highest traffic streets, bridge decks and intersections. Four sidewalk plows will be applying de-icing materials on bridge walkways.
Please watch for their blue and amber flashing lights and leave room for road equipment to do their work.

Council lifts mask requirement for City facilities, maintains masks for Transit
March 28, 2022 - 10:58am
City Council continues to guide the City of Saskatoon’s response to COVID-19 in the community to protect the health and safety of residents and customers, following the provincial government's previous decision to lift provincial Public Health Orders.
At its meeting today, City Council considered a monthly COVID-19 update on masking in City facilities and Saskatoon Transit. Council approved a transition from a mandatory to discretionary approach for masking in City facilities. As noted in the February 8, 2022 City Council resolution, the City extended the masking requirement in City facilities beyond the expiration of the Public Health Order as a temporary measure to help transition the community to a new COVID-19 environment.
As of Monday, April 4, people accessing City facilities, including City Hall, Leisure Centres, indoor arenas, golf course buildings, indoor spaces at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo and the downtown Saskatoon Transit Customer Service Centre are no longer required to wear a face mask. Masks are welcome and will be available upon request.
Masks will continue to be required when travelling on Saskatoon Transit vehicles. Mask education will continue with riders through signage and interior and exterior audible announcements on each bus. Masks will continue to be made available to Transit customers.
The Saskatoon Emergency Management Organization continues to monitor the COVID-19 impacts on City staff and services in accordance with the COVID-19 Response Levels. A monthly update will be presented at the next meeting of City Council in April.

As the City moves toward the development of a Downtown Event and Entertainment District, anchored by a new arena and a new or renovated convention centre, the Downtown Event and Entertainment District Advisory Group has been established to foster connections between business, community partners, the provincial government and the City to support the successful implementation of the project.
Planning for the development of a Downtown Event and Entertainment District is in the preliminary stages, with the current phase focused on the selection of a future site location for a new arena. While the City will retain overall ownership of these new facilities and infrastructure once constructed, numerous community partners, key project partners, and sponsors will be integral in driving the successful development and delivery of the project.
“Having key community agencies represented on the Advisory Group will be tremendously important for the successful development and funding of this project,” says Dan Willems, Director of Technical Services. "In addition, having representation from the Province of Saskatchewan provides a reasonable balance of designated agency representation.”
The open call for public applications to the Advisory Group resulted in an overwhelming response, and the Governance and Priorities Committee sincerely thanks all valued applicants for their interest. In considering the applications, the Governance and Priorities Committee recommended expanding the number of public representatives from five to six to capture a slightly broader cross-section of the community, while agreeing that the Advisory Group’s overall size and composition need limits to allow for the work of the group to be conducted efficiently and effectively.
At its meeting Thursday, March 24, the Governance and Priorities Committee of City Council recommended appointment of the following individuals to serve as public representatives on the Advisory Group:
The Committee also accepted the Province of Saskatchewan's recommendation for Ken Cheveldayoff, MLA for Saskatoon Willowgrove, to serve as the Province of Saskatchewan's representative, joining the Advisory Group’s previously appointed agency representation:
Council representatives on the Advisory Group are Mayor Charlie Clark, Councillor Troy Davies and Councillor Cynthia Block. Councillor Block and Councillor Davies will be the co-chairs of the Advisory Group.
The recommended appointments will be formally approved by City Council at its meeting on Monday, March 28.

#ActOnReconciliation by registering for “Let’s Talk Reconciliation”
March 24, 2022 - 2:28am
- Wearing your EveryChildMatters shirt or any other orange shirt.
- Registering for Reconciliation Saskatoon’s “Let’s Talk Reconciliation” on March 30th (11 a.m. to 12 p.m.). This is a 1-hour informal conversation about Truth and Reconciliation and how to move forward. You can bring your questions, experiences, and challenges—or just sit and listen. The conversation is facilitated by Indigenous educator Annie Battiste and joined by local Knowledge Keepers. The conversation is open to all, free of charge, and conducted via Zoom. Alternately, choose another Reconciliation action.
- Using the hashtag #ActOnReconciliation, share the action you’re taking on social media.
Following the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) on September 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 September 30) 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.
The City is supporting the #ActOnReconciliation campaign by suggesting a specific Reconciliation action for each month. As well, to further heighten awareness, the City will apply an orange filter to their social media accounts and light the following civic facilities in orange: City Hall and the Prairie Wind art installation outside the Remai Modern.
#ActOnReconciliation – March Action
On Friday, March 25th, demonstrate your commitment to Reconciliation by:
In order to establish and maintain a mutually respectful relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) found that “there has to be awareness of the past, an acknowledgement of the harm that has been inflicted, atonement for the causes, and action to change behaviour.”
The City has been actively engaged – as a municipality, co-chair of Reconciliation Saskatoon, and through other community partnerships – in efforts to help raise awareness about Reconciliation and in providing opportunities to participate. Learn more at saskatoon.ca/Indigenous.

Ice melting on recreational ponds and South Saskatchewan River
March 22, 2022 - 7:00am
As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions during the freeze-thaw cycle.
Recent ice testing by the Saskatoon Fire Department has determined the ice thickness is no longer suitable for winter recreational use. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe. Fire crews have updated the posted signage to read “No Skating” at each recreational storm pond.
Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including removing personal belongings, as well as user safety.
Additionally, ice on the South Saskatchewan River has also started to melt. The ice that covers this body of water is unpredictable and is therefore never safe for winter recreational use. Community members are asked to never venture out onto the ice that covers sections of the South Saskatchewan River.
Community members are advised to always exercise an elevated level of caution when around any large body of water. Keep a close watch on children and pets when visiting trails, parks, or off-leash areas that may run adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River or a storm water retention pond.
For more information regarding the Recreational Uses of Storm Water Retention Ponds policy, visit www.saskatoon.ca/ponds.

They are presented annually in March, which the City of Saskatoon has proclaimed Race Relations Month since 1990.

In order to keep everyone safe, a 2022 Living in Harmony Award Video was created in lieu of an in-person awards presentation. The video names this year’s award winners and includes remarks from Mayor Charlie Clark and Chair of the City's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Committee, Namarta Kochar.
Any Saskatoon resident or organization that is contributing to the elimination of racism in Saskatoon is eligible for nomination. Saskatoon schools were invited to have their students send in submissions in any expressive form (photos, art, written, video).
The Living in Harmony Awards are part of the City’s commitment to foster an inclusive community where ethnocultural diversity is welcomed and valued, and where everyone can live with dignity and pursue their full potential without facing racism or discrimination. The winners are selected by the City of Saskatoon's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. Read more at saskatoon.ca/LivingInHarmony.

Saskatoon has a lot to celebrate during Canada Water Week
March 21, 2022 - 2:23am
Canada Water Week (March 21-27, 2022) is a national celebration of water that is held annually to coincide with World Water Day on March 22.
“Saskatoon has a lot to celebrate and be proud of when it comes to our water,” says Pam Hamoline, Interim Director of Saskatoon Water. “Not only does our city have one of the highest quality water supplies in North America, but right now we have several projects in motion to ensure we continue to deliver a high quality and safe drinking water product.”
During Canada Water Week, the City is featuring some of those initiatives in a social media campaign, like the new McOrmond Drive Reservoir and Pump Station, Transfer Pumping and Electrical Upgrades project and Spadina Lift Station project, while also educating about our water source and how it gets into and out of our homes.
“Every day, we turn on our taps and flush our toilets without always thinking about where the water is coming from, how it reaches our homes and what happens to it when we’re done with it.”
The theme for World Water Day on Tuesday, March 22 is Groundwater. While Saskatoon’s drinking water is sourced from the South Saskatchewan River, Hamoline says protecting this important underground water resource is vital.
“What we as residents do above ground, matters underground. For example, we should be mindful of what we put on our lawns and gardens and what may be draining down the city’s storm sewers.”
Keep an eye on the City of Saskatoon’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram this week to learn more about Saskatoon’s water system, our groundwater resource, and some of the big water and waste water projects underway.
