The Saskatoon Municipal Wards Commission is seeking insight and information from citizens of Saskatoon as the Commission looks to establish new ward boundaries for the municipal/school boards’ elections in fall 2020.

Your feedback will help draw the lines!

Interested citizens are invited to review current ward boundaries and projected growth areas, and present their thoughts at the first of two public consultations:

Date: Wednesday, June 19, 2019 ( 7 PM)
Location: Committee Room "E" at City Hall (door No. 1 at 4th Avenue entrance)

Note: Public parking available in the City Hall staff lot after 6 PM

Written submissions are preferred; however, oral presentations may be made at the consultation. Once ward boundaries have been drafted, a second public meeting will be held in the fall to receive additional public input prior to a final decision being made.

Email submissions to city.clerks@saskatoon.ca or deliver written submissions to City Clerk’s Office, City Hall by 3 PM on June 19, 2019. Pleasure ensure your name and address is included.

Our College Park Recreation Association (CPRA) includes a great volunteer executive team that is serving the College Park community.

We are planning our second annual back alley clean-up, this year on Saturday, June 1, meeting at the College Park School around 8:45 a.m., and doing our clean-up routes from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, to be followed with socializing and free lunch for those volunteers helping out with the clean-up.

We need your help! Please email president@collegeparksaskatoon.com if you are available for the clean-up, and especially if you might be able to lend your truck (so that we can plan for numbers for water, granola bars, and pizza lunch, as well as for clean-up routes with drivers and walkers). However, if you are not able to commit until that morning or forget to email, that is not a problem at all!

PLEASE COME OUT, PARTICIPATE, AND MEET YOUR NEIGHBOURS!
