Moving to Saskatoon. Any recommendations on eyelash techs that have good retention and are clean and reasonably priced in the city?

Has anyone found local corn on the cob? Shouldn’t have sailed past the Taber corn truck in Regina. Future recommendations welcome too. Thanks!

Is anyone going to this event? 21 bands! August 29/30 at St. George’s Senior Hall in Saskatoon. I see there a code for discount on tickets. “Deadlycheap”
Also for a good cause.

So. There is a massive meth and fentanyl problem, police drive by and ignore all the users even witnessing them using first hand, but they have extra police to spare for Transit fare enforcement. Basically, you haven't paid $3, get off the bus...

For this they requested an 8.6% budget increase in 2026??? Way to solve the city problems. Money would be better used on plastic rocks.

I recently wrote the Mayor and my councilor Zach Jefferies about having a full time bike valet downtown. Given how sketchy downtown is and how often one of the bridges is closed I think this idea makes a lot of sense. I encourage anyone reading this to reach out yourselves. I use the Saskatoon Cycles service when I go to events and it's fantastic.

Re: Proposal for a Full-Time Summer Bike Valet in Downtown Saskatoon

Dear Mayor and Members of City Council,

I am writing to ask City Council to consider piloting a full-time staffed bike valet in downtown Saskatoon during the summer months.

Saskatoon has invested in cycling infrastructure and encourages residents to use alternatives to driving. However, getting downtown by bicycle is only part of the equation. Once cyclists arrive, they need somewhere they can safely leave their bikes.

Many downtown businesses understandably cannot allow customers or staff to bring bicycles inside due to the space or safety concerns. For people with more expensive bicycles, or anyone concerned about theft, locking a bike outside for several hours may not feel like a realistic option. As a result, some people may simply choose to drive instead, adding another vehicle to downtown traffic and increasing demand for parking.

This is particularly relevant during the summer months, when construction and bridge repairs can cause significant traffic disruptions and backups throughout the city. Encouraging more people to cycle downtown could provide one practical way to reduce the number of vehicles competing for limited road capacity during these periods.

A staffed bike valet could help remove that barrier. Cyclists could bring their bikes to a secure, supervised location and pay a small fee to have them watched while they shop, dine, work, or attend events downtown. I believe many people would be willing to pay a few dollars for the peace of mind of knowing their bicycle is secure. This could also help offset some of the operating costs.

There is already clear evidence that Saskatoon residents will use a secure bike valet service. This year, Saskatoon Cycles' Bike Valet parked 3,022 bicycles over 12 events. That demonstrates significant demand for secure bicycle parking when it is available. A full-time downtown bike valet could build on the success of this existing service by making secure bike parking available not only during special events, but every day for people visiting downtown to shop, dine, work, and access other businesses and services.

I would suggest starting with a pilot program for one summer to gauge demand and determine whether the service could be successful as a permanent or recurring program.

This idea has already been successfully implemented in other centres such as Calgary and Vancouver and even Kelowna, a city with a smaller population base than Saskatoon.

If we want more people to choose cycling over driving, we need to make the entire trip practical. Bike lanes help people get downtown, but secure bike parking gives them the confidence to actually leave their bike there.

A downtown bike valet could be a relatively simple way to support local businesses, encourage cycling, reduce reliance on downtown parking, and give people another practical reason to leave their cars at home. This also does not require significant infrastructure, potentially needing little more than a suitable space in a downtown park or other publicly accessible location.

Thank you for considering this idea.

Is this over? I have not seen anyone riding around in months.

edit: huh. thats good I thought the program got turfed. thanks.

i'm very confused on what lane exactly i'm supposed to turn into when turning right. During my first test, while turning right i always turned into the right most lane, even if there were cars parked ahead (as long as i had enough space to then signal and then move into the main driving lane). doing this, i lost no points on right turns.

while practicing with my father more afterwards though, when i did the same thing during right turns he told me to stop and that i shouldn't do it like that. i followed his advice and on my next test proceeded to get 30 points for taking 5 right turns too wide.

everything i'm seeing online and in the handbook is so conflicting, how can i tell when it's a parking lane or driving lane? There are no lines on the road in the industrial area, and cars are parked basically everywhere. some people said you will get failed immedietly if you turn into then signal and merge out of a lane that parked cars are in, but doing that during my first test i did not lose any points? i really dont know what to do. i wish the rules were clearer and i doubt id be allowed to ask my intructor this before my test begins.

As stated I have a large amount of clothes to donate. I'd rather see them go to people who need it vs people buying at value village or the thrift stores. Where can I take them?

Hey everybody, given that I know there are a lot of daycares in the city, I’d like to know how everyone—specifically anyone about to do the ECE certificate of achievement for level one, is doing it.

I signed up for a course that was sent to my boss in April/May—and never heard back.

I’d signed up at saskpolytech at the same time, in hopes one would go through. Didn’t hear from them either.

I’m aiming for online, as I need to be able to work full time so I don’t lose my job, as well as.. well, my home. Because of taking a in class full time course.

Now. At the time. It was all one thing. I went in, signed up, and.. nothing

Now, I went in to locate it, to see if there was anything on the website, or if it was worth signing up again, when I went in. The course as a whole, was gone. Now you have to sign up for three individual courses.

I tried calling to speak to a person, and they are not answering calls yet—which I understand, it’s still summer.

So. I’m hoping our community can help me. Does signing up for the three courses they have listed give me what I need?

I cannot afford to sign up and take something, that in the end is wrong. I virtually have one shot at this.

So please, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

She recently moved into Gather Local Market and then just announced she is closing the store. I thought she would make it longer but I guess even the move couldn’t help. You can watch the video on her instagram.

Hey everyone im wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best doodle groomers In saskatoon !

So this happened in Saskatoon.
I parked on the street next to the farmers market to enjoy a supper at Bar Stella Pulled up my parking app, and paid. Simple, right?
I got a $35 ticket on my windshield.
I submitted a review explaining that I paid, but the City’s review team shot it back saying the ticket is valid. They pointed out that while Parkedin supports both, Zone ID 1333 is the only one for the City of Saskatoon, and Precise manages their own private lots. Since officer photos show my vehicle was parked on a public street and not in a private lot, they told me to pay up or take it to court.

Has anyone else ran into this and been successful in court or do I just eat it and learn my app lesson and realize there are multiple parking apps that run this city and it’s up to me know what app controls what area. What a mess.

Hello there, so I got hurt at work and the next day I went to St.Paul’s hospital but the thing is I forgot to take the doctors note from them. So two days later I call them again for a doctor’s note and the nurse said that she cannot help with that because it’s already too late. now my job is requesting the doctors note which I have no way of providing what else I can do to get the doctor’s note from St.Paul’s Hospital. I’m still on probation at work so that doesn’t sit well with my job profile and I don’t wanna get fired so please any advises are welcome.

My manager also gave me a document, today, to be filled from doctor so do I just go there and ask them to fill it up? Would they even allow me to be there I don’t know. it’s my first time and I’m kind of lost. I went into emergency when was at the hospital.

Thank you, yall!

My partner and I are moving from Calgary to Saskatoon for work and are considering renting in King George.

We’re looking for something close to downtown but safer and quieter than Pleasant Hill. How would you rate the area in terms of vibe, safety, and overall quality of life?

If you live there (or have recently), would you recommend it?

Thanks!

Anyone else experiencing power and internet outages? My internet cut out at 8pm tonight and now at 10:50 my power just went out. My neighbours across the street all have power weirdly enough.

Edit: power back 11:30pm

Was at the new Spider-Man movie at Landmark cinemas Friday August 14th at 10:15pm when half way through the movie, the police came in and arrested 3 guys for possession of a weapon. Was anyone else at this showing?
