Washroom Trailer opening August 27: staffed washrooms begin at riverbank location
August 27, 2024 - 9:00am
A washroom trailer will officially open on Tuesday, August 27 at the site of the Central Urban Métis Federation (CUMFI) office at 315 Avenue M South. The trailer will be piloted until October 31 and will be open 24 hours a day. The Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) Sawēyihtotān Program will staff the washroom trailer as well as support Commissionaires who will be staffing the Kiwanis Memorial Park (North) public washrooms.
In May, City Council approved the purchase of a used washroom trailer to provide a staffed, all-day service for the Riversdale and Pleasant Hill neighbourhoods for residents in need of access to safe, clean public washrooms. Council also approved funding to provide staffing at a riverbank washroom location and for extra public access to drinking water.
A total of $700,000 has been allocated to the project with the money coming from the Reserve for Capital Expenditures.

Transit launches free child fares September 1
August 26, 2024 - 11:15am
Starting on September 1, Saskatoon Transit will launch a new program offering free fares for children in Grade 8 and under. This program allows elementary school-age children to ride all Saskatoon Transit and Access Transit services for free without needing to scan a fare pass or show any documentation (such as an ID) simply by boarding the bus based on their grade level.
On June 26, City Council approved the elimination of child fares to provide families with a low-cost transportation option and encourage the use of public transit in the community. Saskatoon joins other Canadian cities, including the City of Regina, in offering free transit fares for children.
“The goal of the program is to make public transit more accessible and affordable for Saskatoon families,” said Michael Moellenbeck, Director of Saskatoon Transit. “By removing the cost barrier, we’re able to provide all children the opportunity to get around the community safely and easily, whether it’s to school, extracurricular activities, or family outings.”
The free child fare initiative was developed after extensive community engagement in Spring 2024, during which Saskatoon Transit engaged with schools, community organizations, Transit staff, members of the public, and other transit agencies across the country. Based on the feedback received, City Council adopted a simple and seamless program.
To monitor the program’s impact, Saskatoon Transit will collaborate with local school boards and organizations to assess any operational savings and efficiency improvements. A report on the outcomes will be presented to City Council in Summer 2025.
For more information about the free child fare program, and how to plan your trip, visit SaskatoonTransit.ca.

A reminder for all property owners in Saskatoon, the City’s Reassessment Phase-in Options Survey will close Friday, August 30, 2024. The survey has been open for property owners' feedback since Thursday, August 1.
With the next legislated reassessment year of all property types in 2025, the City is asking property owners for their preference on:
Property owners, we look forward to your participation via the 5-7 minute Survey. For additional background information on this engagement survey please visit saskatoon.ca/engage/property-tax-phase
Background Information
The next legislated reassessment of all property types in Saskatchewan will take place in 2025. Reassessment is undertaken every four years to determine an updated market value for your property. Your property’s 2025 reassessed value will be used, along with the City’s budgeting requirements and tax policy, to calculate your property tax for the next four years, 2025–2028.
The Cities Act does not allow the City to change the current 4-year reassessment cycle however, the City can determine its own tax policies for all property classes (residential, commercial, multi-residential, etc.) in Saskatoon. The City has the authority to make the decision on what are called phase-in options.
When there is a change to a property owner’s property tax because of their property’s new reassessed value, the dollar amount change in property tax owed can be phased-in over two or four years before the next legislated reassessment year. There is also an option for no phase-in use.
Helpful Information/Resources
Property owners, if you would like to request a hard copy of the survey to fill out, please call 306-975-3227 and we will mail one to you.

Floating Treatment Wetland installation at Kensington 1 Storm Pond August 28
August 26, 2024 - 7:00am
- Nutrient load reduction
- Reduced algal growth
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Habitat for wildlife and pollinators
- Improved water quality
The Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds (SAW), in partnership with the City of Saskatoon, Water Security Agency, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Meewasin Valley Authority, will be installing floating treatment wetlands in the Kensington 1 Stormwater Pond on August 28.
Employees of SAW, Meewasin, and the City of Saskatoon, along with youth volunteers from WILD Outside, will be present at the Kensington 1 Stormwater Pond site planting vegetation on the floating wetland platforms before they are launched into the pond and anchored in place with concrete blocks.
The floating treatment wetland installation and demonstration site will showcase practices that can be adopted by communities to build resiliency to the effects of climate change and extreme weather events. The demonstration site will consist of 12 floating wetland island platforms with native plants. The floating treatment wetlands are expected to provide ecosystem services to the South Saskatchewan River Watershed, including:
The stormwater pond will be tested annually for five years by SAW following installation to track the effect of the floating treatment wetlands on water quality within the storm pond.
For full project details, please visit saskwatersheds.ca.
