The Saskatoon Council On Aging is a community leader in the health and independence of older adults. During community consultations for the Age-friendly Saskatoon Initiative, older adults identified the need for more physical activity and social opportunities during the winter months. The Seniors’ Globe Walk is a response to that need.
See the attached for further information.
The City Park Toy Library, located in the basement of City Park Collegiate, 820 9th Ave North, is open every Friday from 10:00am to 11:30am until the end of May. The library is a not-for-profit lending library open to all Saskatoon families. It houses over 175 good quality toys suitable for children ages six months to six years. Three toys at a time may be borrowed for up to two weeks per family. The library is also a place for children to play and for parents/caregivers to visit.
If you are looking for a place to donate your toys, the Toy Library will accept washable (no plush) toys as long as all, or at least the vast majority of pieces, are intact and the toy is useful and fun.
For more information please contact Carla at carlajfehr@gmail.com.

The Saskatoon Public School Board trustees will be meeting at an all-day “Future of our Schools” session on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 where they will discuss the conversion of City Park Collegiate, planned to take place in the Fall of 2015. A group of residents of City Park would like the future plans of City Park Collegiate to include an early learning centre (daycare and/or preschool) as well as an elementary school. If you share these views, please read and sign the petition at the following link.

We have received an update from the Planning & Development Division that the latest edition of the Neighbourhood Profiles are now on the City of Saskatoon website! These profiles give a wealth of demographic data for each residential neighbourhood in Saskatoon, such as how many people own houses, average income of residents, park space per resident, ethnic diversity, and even political participation. This information can provide a snapshot of your neighbourhood and possibly help as you plan current & future programs/services in your neighbourhood.
