News Releases

March 18 is Transit Worker Appreciation Day, a day dedicated to acknowledge and express gratitude for the hard work and dedication of all transit workers who keep Canada's public transit systems operational. It is celebrated annually with a whole week of recognition.

Saskatoon Transit connects thousands of residents daily, in all weather conditions, thanks to the commitment of the entire team. From operators on the road to maintenance crews, planners, administration, and customer service staff, every member plays a vital role in keeping the city moving.

The Saskatoon Transit management team proudly celebrates Transit Worker Appreciation Day and invites everyone to thank all the transit workers who connect our community.

You can participate by expressing gratitude to transit workers through acts of kindness, such as saying thank you, writing kind messages, or sharing positive experiences on social media using the hashtag #ThanksTransit and tagging @stoontransit. If you stop by the Downtown Customer Service Centre, messages can be shared on the #ThanksTransit Poster.

While Transit Worker Appreciation Day is designated to highlight transit workers, expressing gratitude and appreciation for their hard work is encouraged year-round. Small gestures of kindness and recognition can make a big impact!

Everyone in Saskatoon is invited to come to one of a series of information events to be held the week of March 17th, 2025, where the future configuration of the Link rapid transit project along College Drive will be displayed and City staff will be available to answer questions. The come-and-go events will be held at various venues along the College corridor and have been scheduled to give several opportunities to come view the designs. This marks a major milestone in the project as construction moves forward toward a goal of a 2028 service launch.

“The College Drive section of the Link route is incredibly important, as it will move a large number of people from, to and through the area,” says Terry Schmidt, General Manager of Transportation and Construction. “These events will give people the opportunity to see where stations will be located as well as give them an idea of how transit, traffic, pedestrians and cyclists will move along College Drive once Link is operational.”

People are invited to attend any of the following events:

March 17
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
University of Saskatchewan Place Riel
