Citizen Patrol
Citizen Patrol Volunteers take on an active role in the community. They provide a positive visible presence in their neighborhoods and serve as a deterrent to criminal activity. By joining together, they show they care about each other and about what happens in their neighborhood. People that live in a community have firsthand knowledge of of the area and its challenges and are a great aid as "Eyes & Ears" for police. Saskatoon Police members provide them with the skills needed to be able to report and document suspicious activity accurately.
Become a Citizen Patrol Volunteer
It takes a positive attitude, enjoying fresh air and exercise, and becoming acquainted with the neighbors by walking, riding a bike, jogging or driving around the neighborhood. Volunteers work in teams, are identifiable by their vests, and carry a flashlight and cell phone.
Citizen Patrol Volunteers patrol parks, schoolyards, strip malls, and residential areas in their community. They invest as much spare time as they have to offer, one hour at a time, or more. Join today and teach our future generations the value of community and the responsibility we all have in creating or maintaining a community in which we want our children to raise our future generations in.

Caswell Hill Water Main Replacement Project (2020)
The replacement of older water mains and lead water service connections that deliver water services into homes in Saskatoon’s most established neighbourhoods is a priority for the City. Dependent on provincial guidelines and public health orders regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the City plans to proceed with the Caswell Hill Water Main Replacement Project in the 2021 construction season. See below letter to residents and map for more details. (Note it is subject to change.)
Statement From The Caswell Community Association
The Caswell Community Association was shocked, as were all residents of Saskatoon, at the news reports of the current living conditions at City Centre Inn and Suites (formerly the Northwoods Inn and Suites). We know that the decision taken by SFD and the City of Saskatoon was not an easy one but it is one that was necessary given that no human being should live in such deplorable conditions. The Caswell Community Association applauds and supports both the decision and the leadership in dealing with this situation.
As problems that occur at this location often filter into Caswell and surrounding neighborhoods, the Caswell Community Association is relieved that the establishment has been closed. The historical problems of this establishment have been well-documented and on-going since at least May 29, 2015. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/social-services-deemed-saskatoon-hotel-unsafe-months-ago-cbc-learns-1.3092111
Therefore, the Caswell Community Association calls on City of Saskatoon officials for the closure of this establishment to be permanent in service of the health and safety of the residents of Caswell Hill and the city in general.
We have not been part of any engagement regarding the future of the "Northwoods Inn & Suites project" and would welcome the opportunity to be part of the discussion.

Imagine Idylwyld
Imagine Idylwyld is a twelve month City of Saskatoon planning, transportation and design initiative for Idylwyld Drive. The purpose is to develop a vision and conceptual plan to improve the function, safety, connectivity and quality of the roadway and public realm along Idylwyld Drive, between 20th St & 25th St E. Improvements will help link the neighbourhoods and the business districts, making it easier for people to get around the City Centre and help define the street as a gateway by cultivating a sense of arrival.
For more information, to see the Final Report Concept Design Report, and to subscribe for updates, visit Imagine Idylwyld on the City of Saskatoon website. Questions? Contact the project team at imagineidylwyld@saskatoon.ca.

Ashworth Holmes Park: New Mural and Mural Restoration
There is a new mural on MayFair Lawn Bowling Club in Ashworth Holmes Park! This mural, like the first, is also by local artist Josh Jacobson. Enabled by a City of Saskatoon grant applied for by Caswell Community Association, the new mural was installed to cover the graffiti defacing the south wall. Josh worked during the summer and early fall to install the new mural and refurbish the mural on the west wall. These colourful depictions are beautiful additions to Ashworth Holmes Park. Thank you to Josh, the artist, and also to Mayfair Lawn Bowling for their support and good work towards this accomplishment.
Temporary Artwork Installation on 33rd St
On October 3, 2014, the Urban Design Placemaker Program installed a temporary artwork at 33rd Street and Avenue C North. The installation, entitled Harvest Collector, is a public artwork by local artist Leslie Potter. The artist description of the work represents his vision for the art. "The gentle and colourful nature of this sculpture creates many variations: a big hay rake, a sheaf of wheat or perhaps a kind of vessel that gathers food."
33rd Street was identified for streetscape improvements in the City Wide Urban Design Program. The Placemaker Program's temporary art collection is reviewed by the Visual Arts Placement Jury annually.
