Fall into clean streets! Fall street sweeping to begin Tuesday, October 15
October 10, 2024 - 10:00am
-
Clear leaves from the sidewalk and boulevard next to your property but avoid pushing leaves into the street, as large piles can slow down the sweepers.
-
Dispose of loose leaves in your green cart or drop them off at a compost depot. Bagged leaves can be placed in your black cart.
-
Watch for the yellow No Parking signs and move your vehicle by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled sweep day. If your vehicle is towed, you can use the Find My Vehicle! tool or call our Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476.
The City of Saskatoon is prepared for the annual Fall Street Sweeping program, an important initiative to keep streets clean and reduce the risk of spring flooding.
From October 15 to October 24, street sweeping crews will be clearing fallen leaves from some of Saskatoon’s leafiest neighborhoods, which includes Buena Vista, Caswell Hill, City Park, Exhibition, Holiday Park, King George, Mayfair, Nutana, Riversdale and Varsity View. Residents can find their scheduled sweep day by visiting saskatoon.ca/sweep.
"Fallen leaves can cause issues by blocking catch basins and storm drains, which can lead to flooding when the snow melts in spring," says Cam LeClaire, Roadways Manager. "This preventative work not only protects city infrastructure but also improves quality of life for residents."
Temporary parking restrictions will be in place and vehicles may be ticketed or towed if necessary.
How You Can Help:
Service Alerts will be issued if changes to the schedule are necessary due to weather or other factors. For more details, visit saskatoon.ca/sweep.

2024 Civic Election: how the order of candidate names on the ballot will be determined
October 8, 2024 - 5:30am
Dedicated planning for the 2024 Civic Election to be held November 13, 2024, continues. This fall, eligible voters will cast their ballot for Saskatoon’s local government leadership for the next four-year term: mayor, city councillors and school board trustees for the Public and Catholic School Boards.
Ever wonder how the order of candidate names is determined on a ballot when there are several candidates running for one office or in the same ward?
For the 2024 Civic Election, Elections Saskatoon, in accordance with Bylaw No. 8191, The Election Bylaw, 2012, subsection 7.1(3), for where there are (5) five or more candidates (for a certain office), will arrange the names of candidates on a ballot randomly in accordance with subsection 91 (2) of The Local Government Election Act. If there are fewer than five candidates for a certain office, then the names will be arranged alphabetically.
Save the date! All candidates, members of the voting public and media are invited to observe the random ballot name draw to be held in Council Chamber at City Hall on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. The event will start at 5 p.m.
If, after the draw, a candidate withdraws their nomination by 4 p.m. on October 10, 2024, their name will be removed. If the withdrawal of nomination causes there to be fewer than five candidates, their names will be listed on the ballot in alphabetical order.
Check the Candidate List, updated daily until October 10, 2024, 4 p.m.

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

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.

Council approves funding for 492 new affordable housing units
September 27, 2024 - 3:30pm
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.
To learn more about Active Aging Week and programs available, visit saskatoon.ca/fitover50.
