National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge; flags to be lowered April 9
April 8, 2025 - 1:54pm
On April 9, Canada will observe the National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. This day commemorates the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Corps during the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917.
In honour of this significant event, flags at all City of Saskatoon facilities will be flown at half-mast in respect of Canada’s veterans, and to remember the nearly 3,600 soldiers who lost their lives and more than 7,000 who were wounded on that fateful day.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked the first time that all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought in a battle together in the First World War against a common enemy. The Battle is considered by many to be a turning point for our country and the beginning of Canada’s march towards nationhood.

Ice melting on recreational ponds and South Saskatchewan River
April 7, 2025 - 1:00pm
As the weather continues to warm up, the Saskatoon Fire Department would like to advise the public to be mindful of ice conditions.
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 will be updating the posted signage this week 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. Residents 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 saskatoon.ca/ponds.
City Compost Depot set to open on Monday, April 14
April 7, 2025 - 10:00am
The City’s Compost Depot is set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off excess yard waste, including leaves, grass, sod, topsoil, garden refuse, 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.
In addition to dropping off yard waste, residents are welcome to take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street. Residents can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, while supplies last. Accessibility will be dictated by site conditions. The Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the final vehicles being admitted at 5:50 p.m.
All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #9844).
The City Compost Depot does 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; selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can be placed in Green Carts. Excess yard waste is welcomed at the Compost Depot.
For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/compostdepot.
