There is a new meeting, Come and Grow 2019, being hosted by the City of Saskatoon on Thursday January 31, 2019 between 3 and 8 pm at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, 1838 College Drive. Perhaps you have questions about how the City of Saskatoon will welcome 250,000 new residents. The last census was taken in 2016 however the City of Saskatoon estimated the city population on July 1, 2018 to be 278,500.
Specifically, this meeting will address
- Corridor Planning – with a focus on the 22nd Street and 8th Street corridors. Do you walk, bus, bicycle, or drive down either of these corridors? The 22nd Street corridor extends to the Blairmore suburban area, and the new growth sector. Is this your route to arrive at either afforestation area?
- Transit Villages -Confederation Suburban Centre, The Centre Mall, and University Heights Square. How are you affected by Public Transit Infrastructure? How do you arrive? The Confederation Suburban Centre Transit Village is the closest to the afforestation areas, have you ever used the Confederation Suburban Centre enroute?
- Brownfield Renewal Strategy – How can abandoned, vacant, derelict, underutilized properties be re-vitalized?
- University Sector Plan – This area is a bit far removed from the West Swale and the two afforestation areas, but the University Sector planning has an impact on the Northeast Swale.
- Official Community Plan – (Bylaw 8769) which is the framework used to guide the process of growth.

“I believed that God has lent us the Earth. It belongs as much to those who come after us as to us, and it ill behooves us by anything we do or neglect, to deprive them of benefits which are in our power to bequeath.” Richard St. Barbe Baker
“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nation saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.
