Over 3,500 more residents will be welcoming a new smaller black cart to their household this fall. If you requested a smaller black cart before September 9, your new cart will be delivered between September 16 and October 11.

Cart swaps will correspond with your regularly scheduled garbage collection day. Make sure to roll out your existing cart on each garbage collection day and leave it out for 48 hours during the cart swap window. Existing carts must be left at their collection location (front street or back lane, depending on your address) to be emptied and retrieved. The smaller cart will not be delivered unless your existing cart is retrieved.

If your cart isn’t swapped on your collection date, don’t worry! We’ll be back at your next collection date to attempt the swap.

If you missed out on the city-wide cart swaps, you can still request a smaller cart size after October 31, 2024 by submitting a new request through My Utility Account or calling a Corporate Revenue Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400.

September is here and it’s not too early to think about making your voting plans for this fall’s 2024 Civic Election. Eligible voters in Saskatoon, you’ll vote for Mayor, City Councillors and Public and Separate School Board Trustees for the next four-year term on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.

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

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. 

Registering to vote ahead of time will 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 using these other 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.

Get ready to vote by mail! Online applications now open! 

All eligible voters have the option to apply to conveniently vote by mail-in ballot instead of voting in person. Will you be away, or want to avoid the crowds?

Important date: Apply for your mail-in ballot kit online before October 15, 2024 (to allow time for processing and mailing out), through these options:

• Online through the Mail-in Ballot Application Portal
• Complete your mail-in ballot application form and email to elections@saskatoon.ca
• Send your application form by regular mail or deliver in person to the Elections Saskatoon Office, 200-145 1^st Ave North 

Review our helpful how-to apply for your mail-in ballot video and step-by-step instructional PDFs at saskatoon.ca/votebymail.

As temperatures soar this weekend, the City of Saskatoon has reopened the spray pads today to provide some extra summer fun and an opportunity for residents to cool down.

All spray pads are open except for Robert Hunter, Thornton and Wallace Parks, as the water lines were already blown out for winter.

Hours of operation:

• Spray pads near schools will be on Saturday – Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• All other spray pads will be open Saturday – Monday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

All spray pads are activated by push buttons located near the spray features.

To find a spray pad location near you, visit saskatoon.ca/spraypads.

A site located at 210 Pacific Avenue has been identified as a potential site for a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency residential shelter. The site was formerly operated by the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and is now 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
• On February 28, 2024 City Council also directed that any site be at least 250 metres from an elementary school in the Saskatoon Public School or Greater Saskatoon Catholic School system.

If the site receives the necessary approvals by City Council, it is anticipated to open as a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency shelter in Winter 2024. Before the site may be used as a temporary "Emergency Residential Shelter", as per the City of Saskatoon Zoning Bylaw, City Council must approve the duration of the shelter for a temporary operation up to 18 months. This building will be leased to the Government of Saskatchewan. City Council is also required to approve the lease, and the request for a below market value lease rate.

The City has led the site-selection process and the Government of Saskatchewan is investing up to $250,000 for renovations. The Province will also provide operational funding for shelter services. Further details will be included in a report to be presented to City Council at its meeting Wednesday, September 25, 2024.

Neighbourhood Information Sessions will be held on September 16, 2024 with representatives from the City and the Province’s service provider, The Mustard Seed. Area residents and business will be invited to attend to learn about shelter operations as well as plans for safety and security around the facility.

The search continues for a longer-term solution for an enhanced emergency shelter site. Since October 2023, City Administration has been actively working with the Government of Saskatchewan to identify locations for temporary and permanent emergency shelters. The City Administration continues to work with the Government of Saskatchewan to identify a longer-term site, or sites, for enhanced emergency shelter spaces. Site options for a permanent location are undergoing the final stages of diligence processes.

Background

In October 2023, the Government of Saskatchewan announced a Provincial Approach to Homelessness that included funding for 60 new enhanced emergency shelter spaces in Saskatoon.

Enhanced emergency shelters provide clients with full access to shelter (24 hours per day, seven days per week). Clients are also provided three meals per day, case planning and access to wrap-around supports to address wellness and cultural needs, with assistance in connecting to services and help to transition to appropriate housing. 

The City agreed to lead the site-selection process after receiving City Council direction. Since then, City officials have continued to work with the Government of Saskatchewan to find suitable locations to meet those needs.

The City of Saskatoon Parks Department has confirmed new positive cases of Dutch elm disease (DED) in three elm trees in the Varsity View neighbourhood, one case in North Park and two in Westmount.  

“We cannot be clearer than this: do not store elm wood on your property,” says Thai Hoang, Director of Parks. “Keeping elm wood – whether it is to burn in your fire pit or for other uses – threatens our historic tree canopy which we all love so much. About a quarter of our urban forest is elm.” 

Hoang says Parks has conducted 91 tests and so far, received results from 54 trees. 

“From those, there have been six trees that have tested positive for Dutch Elm Disease. As part of our response we will be removing a total of eight trees.” 

While Hoang points out City Council increased the Parks budget to prevent the spread of DED, he reminds Saskatoon residents they need to check their properties for Elm. City staff have already seized 2000 kg of elm wood in sweeps of the Varsity View neighbourhood following a previous DED tree removal.  

Hoang says typically the leaves on American elm trees with DED will start to wilt and turn yellow, then curl and turn brown. He says if anyone suspects an unhealthy elm tree or are unsure of what type of firewood they have, they can 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 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.  

This is a visual representation of what Woodlawn Cemetery would look like if all its memorial and historic elms were lost to DED.

“We’re getting a better idea of how the Saskatoon landscape would change if DED were to keep progressing, but it can be curtailed, get rid of elm wood and if you’re not sure what you have send us a picture.” 

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. 

As part of the Forest Resource Management Act, the Provincial Dutch Elm Disease Regulations, 2005 allow 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 trees. 

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.

At its September 11 meeting, the Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) of City Council is set to discuss the roadmap for planning Saskatoon’s Downtown and surrounding area. The City Centre and District Plan (Plan) lays out a guide for the land uses, public realm and transportation required to revitalize Downtown. The Plan identifies actionable items, that in partnership with private investment and community, will help make Downtown a more vibrant, safe and livable area.

“The ultimate outcome for Downtown is to be a place that reflects all of Saskatoon – now and into the future,” says Lesley Anderson, Director of Planning and Development.  “A safe and vibrant Downtown is a welcoming and inclusive place for all people to come together in a cooperative spirit. This Plan supports a strong economy, strengthens our diverse community, and is intended to attract people to live, work, play and learn in the Downtown.”

Anderson says the Plan outlines strategic directions for the City of Saskatoon, civic partners, rightsholders, stakeholders, and the public to take the vision of the Plan from abstract to action. It establishes the Downtown Event and Entertainment District (District) within Saskatoon’s broader City Centre and also updates the City Centre Plan. City staff, in consultation with technical consultants and incorporating input from the community, incorporated the decisions that have been made since approval of the existing City Centre Plan in 2013.

“While the event centre-arena and expanded convention centre are anchors for the District, the City Centre and District Plan is the much broader geographic and thematic plan to revitalize the entire Downtown through land uses, connections, green spaces and other approaches,” Anderson says. “It will be important with or without the anchor facilities as a platform for creating the conditions needed to create a vibrant Downtown Saskatoon.”

Outlined in the Plan is guidance and direction for designing streets, creating new plazas and park spaces and shaping land-use policy for the District and the broader City Centre. It includes strategies to improve connectivity and mobility as well as a framework to promote safety, heritage and culture to foster an inclusive, accessible City Centre and District.

Developing and re-envisioning Downtown Saskatoon has been identified as a priority area in the City’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan.

The full report can be found on the GPC agenda at saskatoon.ca.

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

On September 1, City crews began the annual winterization of the 480 irrigation systems in Saskatoon parks and along roadway streetscapes. Winterization is an important maintenance procedure to help ensure the longevity of the City’s irrigation infrastructure. 

Irrigation winterization involves the use of large compressors that force air through the irrigation system, removing any residual water so it will not freeze within the underground pipes. The force of compressed air exiting through sprinkler heads may pick up and propel debris within the work zone. 

To ensure public safety, residents are asked to follow all signage at work sites, and to stay clear of all sprinkler heads, compressor units and related winterization equipment in the parks during maintenance. 

The winterization process is expected to take seven weeks. For more information, visit saskatoon.ca/parkmaintenance.
