Record number of Dutch elm disease cases identified in Saskatoon this season
September 26, 2024 - 8:30am
- 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.
- 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
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:
The City has already initiated its DED Response Plan, which includes:
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.

210 Pacific Avenue approved as temporary enhanced emergency shelter
September 25, 2024 - 5:45pm
- 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
- 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.
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:
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:
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.

Additional weekend Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Days added in October
September 24, 2024 - 10:00am
- 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.
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:
Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!

Meeting feedback prompts updated shelter safety plan
September 20, 2024 - 5:19pm
- 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.
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:
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.
