Bullying Stops Here. That’s the message the City is supporting as it encourages residents and civic staff to combat bullying at school, work, home and online by practicing kindness and wearing pink on Wednesday, February 27.

To raise awareness of the initiative, Transit buses can be spotted around the city sporting pink t-shirts. The t-shirts are spray painted on and will stay until the vehicles are washed.

The City of Saskatoon is committed to building a positive and inclusive workplace where all employees feel safe, valued and respected. Bullying is a serious workplace issue that can have adverse effects on employees and organizations as a whole. 

About Pink Shirt Day
Inspired by an act of kindness in small-town Nova Scotia, Pink Shirt Day acts to raise awareness of bullying in schools, workplaces, homes and online, as well as raise funds to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem. To learn more, visit www.pinkshirtday.ca.

The City invites residents to attend Come & Grow 2019.  Learn more about the City’s Plan for Growth and have the opportunity to give feedback on a number of initiatives.

Come & Grow 2019
Thursday, January 31, 2019
3 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Holiday Inn Express and Suites University, 1838 College Drive

Information and questions will be presented on:

• Corridor Planning - encouraging growth and development near major transportation corridors;
• Transit Villages - re-imagining large commercial sites along the future rapid transit system;
• Brownfield Renewal Strategy - redeveloping potentially contaminated sites (e.g., old gas station sites);
• University Sector Plan - long-term development of the University Endowment Lands; and
• Official Community Plan - the overriding policy framework to define, direct and evaluate development in Saskatoon.

Saskatoon's Plan for Growth charts a course for growth and revitalization that balances and promotes quality of life, sustainability, and economic development.  It touches many aspects of everyday life in Saskatoon from the creation of more compact and vibrant communities to the development of business districts, parks, and facilities, as well as the delivery of services like transit, roadways, and civic utilities.

Plan for Growth projects are funded in part under the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) from the Government of Canada.  The Government of Saskatchewan administers federal PTIF funding in the province.

The City of Saskatoon is hosting Winter Bike to Work Day YXE on Thursday, January 24, 2019: an initiative that encourages citizens to try winter cycling and to celebrate those who cycle year-round as part of their regular commute.

Anyone participating in Winter Bike to Work Day YXE should note the following tips and information:

• Between 7 and 9 a.m., participating businesses and organizations will have commuter stations set up. Anyone on a bicycle is invited to stop for coffee, giveaways, or a chance to win prizes! Snap a photo at your stop and upload it to social media using the hashtag #BiketoWorkYXE to show us how your commute is going!
   
• If you live too far from work to bike the entire way, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. Plan your trip using the app called Transit. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. The bike racks also accommodate fat tires (2" x 33").
   
• If you are wondering how to dress and ensure your cycling equipment is up to speed, check out our Winter Cycling Tips prior to your commute.

Learn more about Winter Bike to Work Day YXE at biketoworksaskatoon.com and find information on cycling in the city at saskatoon.ca/cycling.

Saskatoon Transit has upgraded the onboard Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in 100 of its buses. This TransitMaster upgrade, among many other things, enhances the delivery of real-time bus information, displaying real-time bus locations via smart phone apps including Transit, Google and Moovit.

Twenty-nine additional buses require a hardware upgrade to accommodate the new system which is scheduled to be complete by the end of March. This group of buses will only display scheduled (as opposed to real-time) information via apps, but will continue to provide full trip planning functionality.

All buses will continue to communicate scheduled information and real-time service alerts, however only the 100 buses will be displaying real-time bus locations.

Several months ago the app called Transit began an upgrade to their app which resulted in varying degrees of real-time communication quality. All users could view accurate, real-time data, however users with specific service providers might not have seen the moving transit buses on the map. This was consistent with both iPhones and Android devices.

This issue has now been resolved and the app has been restored to full functionality.

Saskatoon Transit thanks you for your patience while this important upgrade is being completed.
