Snow Removal • Snow is stored along high traffic streets until removal is required. To increase visibility in school zones, stored snow is removed periodically.

notifynow messages alert you so you’ll know what to do, where to go, & what to expect should there be an emergency situation in Saskatoon. You can trust a message from the City’s notifynow mass notification system.
• More than 1,600 m of water main was replaced on Broadway Ave, some of which was almost 100 years old. • New durable line paint was used on more than 16 kms of road this year, lasting longer than traditional street paint. Get a glimpse at other ways the City is making progress towards our strategic goals on saskatoon.ca/strides.
Meewasin and the City of Saskatoon invite the public to provide input on-river access requirements for the public, commercial enterprises, on-river special events, industrial users, emergency services, and monitors. The primary focus will be on facilities for launching and mooring motorized and non-motorized watercraft; however, it will address all forms of river access.
