CORE SERVICES Ask yourself, how satisfied are you with the following in Saskatoon: Road repairs? Snow removal? Transit system? Policing? Garbage service? If you answered not satisfied to at least one, we need to do better!! As a city these are essential services and as

Only 45 days remain. What I want to see is not only citizens to come out and vote but also be informed. We are at a critical point where we need to ensure those we elect will do what’s best for our city as a whole. No more self serving agendas and ignoring constituents. Ask

This type of thinking needs to change as local government has so much impact on our daily lives. We need engaged citizens who come out to vote and have their say. 🗳️

Just talk and talk and talk and talk about it all while the west side continues to suffer. Very frustrating and for one moment don’t think

From day one this has been a complete circus and endless money pit for us taxpayers. Another fine project brought to you by our council that just seems to cut cheques and spend like there is no tomorrow. Hopefully come Nov 13 people will voice their displeasure and that

@dcnsdfc @GlobalSaskatoon @SaskatoonPolice The sad thing is they all know there is an issue currently in Fairhaven but no one wants to do anything about it. Province ignores it, police ignores it and our council ignores it. Well little do they know the voices are growing stronger and won’t go away until resolution is had.

I see the need for public toilets definitely but how does the city come up with the 700K price tag?? 🤷. As noted below, minimal research comes in with numbers incredibly lower. I would like to see the breakdown of this cost analysis.

I totally agree we need to provide public access to bathrooms to help people have dignity as we all have bodily functions, and unfortunately it will need to be supervised to prevent destruction, but why are we paying so much? We could buy 50 portable toilets for $55,000. We
