Sum Theatre and Hudson Bay Park / Mayfair / Kelsey Woodlawn Community Association invite you, your family, and your friends to Theatre in the Park! Every summer, Theatre in the Park visits local parks across Saskatoon, performing an original play and creating fun community-building events. This year’s play highlights the importance of community by drawing on the Cree teaching of wâhkôhtowin, which refers to the kinship between all things. The show is free for everyone – there are no tickets – all you need to bring is a blanket or something to sit on.
We hope to see you in A.H. Browne Park at 7:00PM on Wednesday, May 25th.
More information is available at sumtheatre.com

This winter, our community has received an above-average number of snow falls leaving Saskatoon with extra snow on the streets to melt over the next few weeks.
While forecasts show temperatures combining for a slow melt, The City of Saskatoon wants to inform residents of the plan for drainage on private and public property in the event temperatures rise and the melt quickens. Our storm sewer system can easily carry the flow of snowmelt. Most ponding and flooding around catch basins are caused by ice blocking the drain.
What the City is doing:
How you can help
As Saskatoon grows and changes, greater pressures are placed on our urban forest. Existing City policies and processes have not been sufficient in preventing damage to and the loss of public trees. The City is developing a Tree Protection Bylaw to provide improved clarity on the protection, growth and preservation of public trees, as well as improve the City’s ability to protect our urban forest.
From January – March 2022, the City will be engaging the community in the development of the Tree Protection Bylaw. Based on your feedback, research on what other cities have done, and internal considerations, City Administration will seek approval from City Council to draft a bylaw that reflects the engagement results and best practices.
How Can You Get Involved?
The community and identified stakeholders are invited to provide their feedback through numerous engagement activities, including a community survey and stakeholder meetings.
Community Survey
Have your say in the development of the Tree Protection Bylaw through the Community Survey from February 23 to March 13, 2022. Residents, businesses, and community groups can provide their feedback on what is needed, what works, and what is possible for protecting our public trees in Saskatoon. You can access the Community Survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TreeProtectionBylawCommunity
Industry Survey
If you are involved in an industry that conducts work close to trees on public property they would like to hear your feedback through the Industry Survey from February 23 to March 13, 2022. You can access the Industry Survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TreeProtectionBylawIndustry.
