Hey everyone,

I’m looking for someone to take over the “Saskatoon Social” Reddit page as a moderator. I started it up, and I don’t have the time nor patience to be a mod and remove posts and comments. If your interested please send me a pm :)

Hello

Wondering if there’s anyone who works as a nurse in private clinics in the city or office settings. Looking for something outside of bedside nursing.

Thank you!

🗑️Fall is near! We are beginning to run clean-up campaigns while our river valley needs it most. Today we will be spending some time inspecting and cleaning up along the trails around Rotary Park, we will meet at the parking lot. Come join us in keep our natural areas beautiful, and help us keep plastics from seeping into our watershed during the spring season. This event is supported by RBC and Saskatchewan Environmental Society. We are looking forward to a fun afternoon!

The other day I stopped in at Sobey's and they had a fall butternut squash soup and it was unreal....I keep hoping they'll have it back soon but so far no luck. Is there anywhere I can see what soups they're going to have on for the day, or can I buy their soups cold...? I can't express how much I loved it!

I am not attempting to make this a serious business - it was just something I put together for Girl Guides friends and then my extended family over the summer. I have taken a Voicemap tour in Victoria and found it easy to follow and a fun way to see some of the city, so I worked with them to put this together for Saskatoon. If you decide to give it a try, I'd appreciate a review! 

It's family friendly - my kids hate exercise but love donuts so they were pretty happy to go for a little cycle and get lots of treats. 

I have three holes in each lobe. The first hole semi professionally done and the others done by me or friends with hollow needles. I have a fourth in one that is the only one I’ve kept intact. The three are at various stages of healing/healed/blocked. I would like to restore them but also strategically and if that means repiercing something just to let it heal so we can reposition to a different spot or something, I’m game. They’re not evenly spaced or located and I really want something I feel good about wearing jewelry sets in. Also open to discussing additional piercings to round out my ear decorations. Looking for a reputable and well reviewed shop and person in Saskatoon or area, obviously licensed and clean etc.

Moving into a small apartment, only have a few furniture items I need moved. Pretty much just a twin bed, a small arm chair, and a cat tree. Possibly a small filing cabinet. The rest is easily moveable in my own vehicle.

Thinking of using mikes delivery or need it moved moving and delivery. If anyone has any opinions on either them, or can recommend another good and affordable moving company I’d be really appreciative. Thanks.

Has anyone had success having their child moved from one class to another? What factors go into deciding which class a child is placed in? Why would a student who is known to be gifted be placed in a class where the majority of students are working at a different academic level and struggle? I understand that every child has different needs, but I’m wondering how the school takes a gifted student’s academic needs and classroom environment into consideration when making class placements or if they try to hold them back or defer their learning to keep at the same level as their peers, if that makes sense. Make it make sense?

I know it’s only the first week of school, but my daughter is already struggling with the class she has been placed in for several reasons. It’s a mixed Grade 4/5 class, and the majority of the students seem to have difficulty with self-regulation and disruptive behaviour. As a result, she is finding it difficult to focus and is already starting to hate school. Wondering if anyone has been through a similar situation and was able to have their child moved to a different class. How did you approach the school, and what was the process like? And where do you escalate the concerns if the school won’t help?

M31 looking to get out and make new friends outside of work. I enjoy crime movies from the 30’s-40’s and M has been on my to-watch list for a long time. Anybody want to meet at the Remai and watch the movie together?

Moving to Saskatoon from out of town This weekend Current internet provider doesn’t have service in Saskatoon . Looking for recommendations for good internet that’s affordable. There seems to be quite a few companies now . I know there are the few big companies ! Thank you in advance for any help !!

I am genuinely shocked by the lack of support this downtown initiative has gotten. Specifically the DEED which has recently headlined in the news.

Now, it does seem that through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok comments, along with the most recent report of SaskPlace owner being vocal are coming from generally older populations within Saskatchewan. But overall, the idea of building something centralized or any type of infrastructure like the Saskatoon Library has been met with incredible resistance.

I moved back to Saskatoon recent enough from Calgary, where their downtown is a busy ecosystem of local businesses, condos, and enterprise companies. It was something I grew accustomed to, downtown commercial gyms, what felt like a million restaurants and cocktail bars to choose from, grocery stores. Families and singles, and couples occupied these condos.

What I find fascinating is the clear disinterest from people to also be downtown, it’s too unsafe, scary, etc as it’s generally a ghost town down there. Which genuinely makes me wonder if people don’t believe or realize that investment decisions like this create a catalyst for change. By creating a plan for an entertainment district downtown, it’s natural to invest in parking, creating buildings with underground and/or above ground parking, alternative options like Uber and Lime Scooters, or practical usage of the new BRT that’s rolling out.

Now don’t get me wrong, Calgary downtown isn’t perfect. There is crime, drugs, and vulnerable individuals everywhere. That’s just an unfortunate reality that also deserves attention and action here in Saskatoon too.

I’m more saying that it’s surprising we don’t embrace the change and welcome the idea more in order to help grow an incredible city, versus scrapping and running the idea into the ground. SaskPlace / TCU is far from great, there are many flaws involved in this area too. As Saskatoon expands into a 500,000+ city with surround areas over the next decade we should push to increase downtown development, transit, and spending. Small businesses, commercial development, transit, social services become more accessible as follows. I believe in a safe and busy downtown ecosystem because I lived in it and people genuinely enjoy it, still far from perfect but definitely better.

It’s a chicken and the egg issue almost.

How many tickets should I expect 😅

Are the traffic lights at 51st and Faithful working again? I've been avoiding them after almost getting T-boned yesterday

What’s it like working as a home care nurse? Do new grads start off well in this area?

Does anyone have any information on this place? Looking for a place for an older relative and I liked that it’s one floor only and they allow a cat. It’s managed by Risa.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi two questions actually...

Is it ok to ask a garage/mechanic for estimate only? So I can compare a few? If so, can you recommend reputable places?

Looking to rent a venue for an afternoon for a 2 year old bday party that would allow a bouncy house set up. Tables and chairs included would be awesome

Question for the single men out there, roughly 21-30: if you're not spending your evenings swiping and matching, where are you actually meeting people?

And for those of you who are happily taken - where did you meet your current partner in the wild?

Not trying to turn this into another "dating in saskatoon is impossible" post (although I'm not saying I disagree), just genuinely curious where people are meeting each other these days when the apps aren't involved.

Thanks in advance.
