The City of Saskatoon invites emerging and established artists in all disciplines (including writers, composers, visual artists, musicians, theatre artists, video, multidisciplinary, social practice, and performance artists) to apply for a residency in the historic Bunkhouse at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo (SFFPZ).

 

Artists in Place: The Bunkhouse Project is a residency program to revitalize the historic Bunkhouse at the SFFPZ through the development and implementation of an artist studio program. 

 

Project goals include:

 

• to provide opportunities for artistic expression in a civic facility 

• to inspire artists through the nature, animals, and people at the SFFPZ 

• to connect the SFFPZ and the greater world 

 

The Bunkhouse studios will be available to five artists or artist teams who wish to create work inspired by the SFFPZ. A minimum of two studio spaces will be dedicated to emerging artists. Residencies will take place from June 6, 2022 to March 31, 2023. 

The Project will take place from June 6, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The Bunkhouse will be available from 9 am to 4 pm each day with extended hours in the summer months.

The cold temperatures continue to cause shortages of buses and delays.   

Cold temperatures can cause things like the ‘check engine’ light to turn on and cause condensation in the air system which may freeze valves leading to suspension issues or frozen brakes. In either situation, to ensure buses are safe to operate, a mechanic must verify the condition of the bus or complete any repairs before it can return to the road.   

Before leaving to catch the bus, check for service alerts on the Transit app or Google Maps Transit on desktop. “Pin” the routes taken most often in the Transit app to receive push notifications about service disruptions. Service alert information can also be found at SaskatoonTransit.ca on twitter @stoontransit or by calling 306.975.3100.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
