Help shape the future of Saskatoon Transit

Saskatoon Transit is looking for public feedback on two concepts for the future transit network. Residents are invited to attend an open house, review project materials and complete an online survey open until November 20, 2026.

We want to learn about what you think about two bus network ideas: coverage and ridership. Staff have created new route ideas based on these two choices. You can learn more and share your thoughts at one of nine open houses in Saskatoon. You can look at the new routes, get your questions answered by City staff, and give feedback.

The new bus routes will need new bus signs. This is a chance to make bus signs easier to read and use. We want to know if you think the new sign design is clear and helpful. Please take the survey to share your thoughts.

Learn more and participate at Bus Network Redesign engagement page, here: https://engage.saskatoon.ca/en/projects/bus-network

The seasons are changing, and so is our borrowable inventory!

This weekend, we're tucking away our spring and summer items and bringing our winter items back out of storage. 🌞➡️❄️

Tucking things away for the season helps keep them safe and in good shape, so they can be borrowed and enjoyed for many more years to come!

Think snowshoes and sleds! Instead of buying something you'll only use occasionally over the next few months, check if you can borrow it from us!

Buying is for some, borrowing is for all. 💚

Our friend behind shows how circular economy can be part of running a business! From sourcing second hand materials to reusing what they already have and borrowing items from us, they're finding ways to make the most out of what is already out there! ♻ Showing our belief that together we have enough!

🎉 BONUS HOURS! 🎉

It’s the perfect chance to grab those trending items you’ve had your eye on. 😉 Even better? Our one-week loans borrowed on Sunday will be due Tuesday, November 3, since we aren’t usually open on Sundays!

Come take advantage of the extra hours and enjoy a little more time with your things.

We love when people repair things! 🧵 Did you know we have sewing kits and sewing machines you can borrow to do repairs at home? You don't actually need to buy all the equipment! (also irons too).

One of our community members takes the time to repair holes in their clothing to give them a longer life, keeping them out of the landfill and reducing waste by making the most out of what they already have. This is 💚

Fun fact Saskatoon Makerspace hosts monthly repair cafes! If you're not sure how to fix something yourself bring it in. Check out their website for more information.

Ever wondered what those labels mean when you’re browsing our inventory?

We use labels to help you understand what kind of items you’re looking at and which memberships can borrow them:

🟢 General Items
The everyday essentials! Tools, gear, and useful items available for all members in good standing to borrow.

🔥 Trending Items
The popular picks! These are items that are in high demand and are available to all members in good standing.

⭐ Specialty Items
The unique finds! These items require a valid credit card on file before borrowing and are available with General, Group, and Volunteer Memberships.

These labels help us keep our collection organized, make sure more people can access popular items, and keep things ready to share.

Happy borrowing!
