Snow Removal this Winter - What You Need to Know
The City’s Snow Removal Program aims to keep roads safe, accessible, and clear for emergency services, vehicles, and pedestrians. While our crews work diligently, winter weather can be unpredictable, and snow-clearing activities may vary. Here’s how you can help:
- Avoid pushing snow onto streets – This creates ridges that obstruct plowing efforts and creates larger snow ridges at your driveway.
- Don’t pile snow on streets or hydrants – This can block emergency access.
- Clear driveways before plows arrive – This helps crews work efficiently and prevents ridges.
- Avoid parking on streets during snow clearing – Vehicles hinder operations and risk being blocked by snow.
- Prevent driveway snow buildup – Place snow in yard areas rather than at the driveway edge.
- Watch for posted removal zones – Vehicles parked in these areas may be ticketed and towed.
- Stay back from sanding trucks – Keep a 15m distance to allow safe dispersion of salt and sand.

Cheques Presented to Local Food Hamper Programs During Annual Play & Skate Event
Approximately 100 area residents of all ages gathered at the Martensville Sports Centre on Saturday, December 6th to take part in the annual Play & Skate with Santa event, co-hosted by the City of Martensville and the Martensville & District Kinette Club.
The event took place from 1:00pm-3:00pm and offered a variety of fun activities, including sleigh rides, skating with Santa, pictures with Santa, and fun holiday-themed games and treats. In total, over $1000 was raised through sponsors, and donations for photos with Santa, and all proceeds will go towards supporting TeleMiracle.
The Martensville & District Kinette Club invited the Martensville Food Pantry, and the Martensville Fire Department to the event to present them with cheques for $250 each to help support the Christmas hampers that the groups will be providing to the community this year.
“Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend. We look forward to this event every year, because seeing how excited the kids are to spend time with Santa is truly special. Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible, and especially to Santa for making the trip all the way from the North Pole,” said Jamie McCulloch, City of Martensville Recreation Program Coordinator.
“Thank you to our sponsors North Prairie Developments and CANWEST, along with a big thank you to the Kinettes for all their hard work getting Santa to Martensville,” McCulloch added.
“We would like to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors Freeway Delivery Service, Ebani deBussac with The Mortgage Group, Off Road Exteriors, Affinity Credit Union Martensville and thank you to our prize sponsor Save-on Foods Warman and to everyone who came out and donated to make this a great event,” Bernice Symak of the Martensville & District Kinette Club, stated.
Project Change Leads 12 Days of Kindness at Martensville High School
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Martensville High School’s Project Change is once again spreading generosity and connection throughout the community with its annual 12 Days of Kindness initiative. With 50 students involved this year, the club continues to grow in both participation and impact.
Project Change focuses on creating positive change by giving students meaningful opportunities to volunteer, serve others, and build strong relationships within the community. The club’s mission is reflected in the enthusiasm students and staff show when supporting school fundraisers, community events, and acts of service. “Project Change is a place where I can learn about how to serve my community in a meaningful way and have a positive impact on the people around me,” said one Grade 12 student.
This year’s 12 Days of Kindness program aims to spread joy both within the school and across Martensville by supporting people in need and fostering kindness through simple, heartfelt actions. This year’s activities include a warm clothing drive (donations accepted until Dec. 12) for Bridge City Warmth, a hygiene supply drive (donations accepted until Dec. 12; half kept local, half donated internationally), holiday activity with students in the Functionally Integrated Program, participation in the Annual MHS SRC Food Drive, shopping for Christmas presents for seniors, holiday card making, shopping for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, holiday bake sale, MHS staff appreciation initiatives, handing out candy canes to students, serving hot chocolate to students, baking for the Ronald McDonald House and an activity at Diamond House/ Valley Manor.
Throughout the year, Project Change receives an abundance of support from staff and students at MHS through bake sales, the Terry Fox Walk, and other fundraisers. The club has also partnered with the school’s Indigenous Student Society to sell bannock in support of the Downie Wenjack Foundation, further strengthening community ties while supporting a meaningful cause.
Since it’s inception, the club has seen an increase in participation from both students and staff and includes three staff advisors, including Breanne Cooper, Kristin Dunville and Katie Kulcher.
“Project Change has created a school environment that has strong relationships with the community, is willing to give generously, and supports each other as students, as neighbors, and as friends,” Breanne Cooper stated.
Students that participate in Project Change not only grow as individuals but also benefit from opportunities to volunteer within the community, receive scholarships and learn how to be an active member of the community.
The experience has a lasting influence on the students who participate. One Grade 12 member shared the deep impact the club has had on their high school years, “It is extremely rewarding to learn how to serve my community and then see the direct impact I can have on people in a positive way. It makes all the time and effort involved totally worth it. Without Project Change, I would not feel as connected to my community or my peers, and I wouldn’t have learned the importance of serving others and advocating for positive change.”
Cooper noted that the ultimate goal is for students to understand the power of kindness and the value of giving back. “Our hope is that through Project Change students will truly understand the importance of giving back to their community and will feel a sense of pride in helping those around them. Kindness is one of those things that we take for granted. We should all become more aware of the power of kindness and not hesitate to lend a helping hand or a smile to a stranger.”

Martensville Lakeview Insurance Supporting STARS With 2025 Holiday Ornaments
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
The holiday season is bringing a special opportunity for Martensville residents to support a vital emergency service. Lakeview Insurance has partnered with STARS Air Ambulance to launch a 2025 holiday ornament fundraiser, with the Martensville Lakeview Insurance branch proudly taking part in the campaign.
Lakeview Insurance has sponsored a limited-edition Christmas ornament, with 100 percent of the proceeds going directly to STARS. The organization continues to play a critical role across the prairies, providing rapid, life-saving emergency care when seconds matter. By purchasing an ornament, customers directly support the continued operation of STARS missions in the region.
Each ornament is available for $20, cash only. The goal is to sell 500 ornaments, contributing meaningful support to an organization that has made a huge impact on many families, who are able to celebrate with loved ones that they might not have had the opportunity to without the aid of STARS Air Ambulance.
Residents are encouraged to stop by the Martensville Lakeview Insurance office to pick up a holiday keepsake and take part in this initiative. Every ornament sold helps ensure STARS can continue responding to emergencies and saving lives across Saskatchewan.
This holiday season, the Martensville community has a way to make a difference, one ornament at a time.
Fire Departments Honoured with Premier’s Commendation for Heroic Wildfire Response
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Firefighters from across Saskatchewan, along with three departments from Manitoba, were honoured in Regina on December 2, 2025, receiving the Premier’s Commendation Medallion for their extraordinary efforts during the 2025 wildfire season.
Premier Scott Moe presented the awards during a ceremony at the Saskatchewan Legislature, joined by Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod, K.C., and Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) President and Fire Commissioner Marlo Pritchard.
“The Premier's Commendation recognizes those whose actions exemplify courage, responsibility and service to others,” Premier Moe said. “Those honoured today responded decisively in moments of great need, demonstrating the strength of character and commitment that uphold the values of our province.”
Minister McLeod praised the bravery demonstrated during one of Saskatchewan’s most severe wildfire seasons. “This award is an acknowledgement of the bravery of those protecting Saskatchewan families and communities during one of the most devastating wildfire seasons on record,” he said. “The award recipients are representative of the unwavering commitment and strength that defines this province.”
Originally awarded from 2012 to 2018 to individuals or groups who acted bravely or meritoriously, the Premier’s Commendation program was revived in 2025 specifically to honour those who responded to the year’s unprecedented wildfire threats.
Among the recipients was the Martensville Fire Department (MFD). Deputy Chief Jason Marshall attended the Legislature on behalf of the department to accept the commendation recognizing MFD’s contribution to battling the northern wildfires this past summer.
In a statement, the department expressed its appreciation: “MFD extends our sincere thanks to everyone involved, from the members who deployed to the north to those who remained here to ensure our community stayed protected. Your dedication and teamwork continue to make us proud.”
The ceremony recognized volunteer and municipal fire departments, as well as Type 2 firefighters who played critical roles in protecting communities. Representatives from fire departments and tribal councils accepted medallions on behalf of all members who deployed during the wildfires. Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency Type 1 firefighters and support personnel will be honoured separately in early 2026.
Close to 50 fire departments in Saskatchewan and Manitoba received recognition for their frontline efforts against what many described as an unprecedented fire season.
Many of the departments honoured are volunteer-led, with members dispatched across the province wherever help was needed most.
In response to the scale of the 2025 wildfires, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency has commissioned an independent review. The SPSA has contracted MNP to examine the agency’s response, evaluation, and recovery processes. The review is expected to be completed ahead of the 2026 wildfire season.

Davidson Dad Ready To Enjoy His
James Tichit won $100,000 on the November 5 EXTRA draw! The Davidson local said he loves playing LIGHTNING LOTTO with EXTRA regularly, but this time was definitely out of the ordinary.
“I went to the store to get a few tickets scanned and was shocked to see the last one was a big winner,” he said. “The cashier looked at me and said, ‘You just won $100,000,’ and all I could do was giggle!”
Tichit went back to his parked vehicle where his son was waiting for him. “He asked me what took so long,” Tichit laughed. “I told him I’d won, and he checked my numbers on the website and couldn’t believe it!”
“I went right to the hospital where my wife works and told her,” he continued. “She was jumping up and down!”
Tichit said he’s looking forward to enjoying his winnings with his family this holiday season.
“We’re going to take the kids away for Christmas,” he said. “We had planned to [take a vacation] previously, but now we can go up a star or two!”
Tichit purchased his winning LIGHTNING LOTTO and EXTRA from Shell on Louis Riel Trail Highway 11 S and 44 in Davidson. He was one of two Saskatchewan winners to take home a $100,000 EXTRA prize on the November 5 draw. He won his prize by matching the last six digits in the November 5 EXTRA draw: 3702691.
For more than 50 years Sask Lotteries has been the main fundraiser for more than 12,000 sport, culture and recreation groups in communities across the province! Since 1974, through an agreement with the Government of Saskatchewan, lottery sales in Saskatchewan have been used to provide more than $1.4 billion to support athletes from the grassroots level to the international stage, connect youth to artistic experiences, help residents experience the beauty of the parks that cover the province and so much more.

Public Engagement for Phase 3 of Saskatoon Freeway Planning Study
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
The Ministry of Highways is looking for input from the public regarding Phase 3 of the Saskatoon Freeway Functional Planning Study, a major regional transportation initiative that continues to move forward in its long-term planning stages.
To do this, they provided an in-person opportunity to learn more on December 4th in Saskatoon, as well as an online session that will be available until December 15th at https://phase3saskatoonfreewayvoh.ca/. This virtual open house is giving residents the opportunity to review project information and complete an online survey
The Saskatoon Freeway Functional Planning Study began in 2019. Once completed, it will identify the preferred route for a new 55-kilometre freeway around Saskatoon, including interchange concepts, service roads, and required land.
Phase 1, completed in 2020, considered Highways 11, 12, and 16; Wanuskewin Road; Rock Ridge Road/Range Road 3053; and the CN rail line. Phase 2, completed in 2022, examined Highway 11 near Grasswood and crossings at Highway 16 East, Highway 5, and Highway 41 before continuing across the South Saskatchewan River toward the area south of Wanuskewin Heritage Park. Phase 3, now nearing completion, covers the western segment of the proposed freeway between Highway 16 west and the Highway 7/Highway 60 intersection.
The study examined several constraints and design factors, including CNR and CPR rail crossings requiring overpasses, drainage patterns (including the West Swale), industrial operations such as Nutrien Potash and DG Global West, environmental features and potential mitigation, Saskatoon International Airport airspace and associated infrastructure, SaskPower electrical transmission corridors, and active transportation needs, including consideration of a multi-use path along the east side of the West Swale beneath the freeway.
The Saskatoon Freeway is envisioned as a minimum four-lane divided highway that would divert heavy and long-haul traffic around Saskatoon while improving traffic flow, safety, and long-term regional mobility. Even with planning progressing, the Ministry emphasized that no construction timeline has been set. Estimates suggest the project could remain 15 years or more from the start of construction.
For Martensville, the Saskatoon Freeway carries long-term regional significance, which could improve regional connectivity, reduce heavy truck traffic on Highway 12 and surrounding roads, enhance traffic safety by redirecting traffic flow, and more.
With the consultation period concluded, the project team will continue refining Phase 3 designs. A final route alignment, detailed interchange plans, and updated landuse impact maps are expected in 2026.

Increased Access to HIV Self-Testing Kits in Saskatchewan Now Available
Saskatchewan residents now have increased access to free Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) self-testing kits. By reducing barriers to accessing these kits, Saskatchewan health-care teams are at the forefront of actively working to help reduce the stigma of having and testing for HIV.
“Our government is committed to making HIV testing easier and more accessible for everyone in Saskatchewan,” Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr said. “By expanding access to free self-testing kits, we are empowering people to take control of their health, supporting earlier diagnosis, and helping to reduce the stigma often associated with HIV. This investment strengthens our ongoing work to ensure all residents can access the care and supports they need, when and where they need them.”
With the support of $48,000 in funding from the Government of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is making it easier to access free HIV selftesting kits; kits can be picked up by members of the pubic at a variety of SHA locations, community-based organizations, First Nations nursing stations, pharmacies, medical clinics and post-secondary institutions. A complete listing of locations providing HIV self-testing kits is available online at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/health/ diseases-and-conditions/human-immunodeficiency-virus-hiv/hiv-testing.
Saskatchewan Introduces Compassionate Intervention Legislation For Addictions Treatment
The Government of Saskatchewan has introduced legislation to support people with severe addictions who are not capable of seeking help despite serious health and safety risks.
The Compassionate Intervention Act would allow for involuntary addictions treatment.
"Individuals struggling with addiction need our support on their path to recovery," Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr said. "They need a safe space, support and compassionate intervention. We are focused on meaningful longterm recovery for Saskatchewan residents."
"By investing in compassionate care for those struggling with severe addiction, we are not only saving lives, but we are strengthening families, communities, and the future of our province," Justice Minister and Attorney General, Tim McLeod, K.C. said. "Every person deserves the chance to heal, rebuild and thrive."
Currently, addictions treatment for adults in Saskatchewan requires voluntary participation. Existing legislation does not support addiction intervention.
Compassionate intervention is grounded in the Government of Saskatchewan's commitment to a Recovery-Oriented System of Care. It would include strict criteria for entering someone into involuntary treatment.
The proposed model would allow family members to request treatment for a loved one through the court. Law enforcement can also intervene if a person’s substance use is putting their own life or the lives of others at serious risk.
Individuals may only be brought to a Compassionate Intervention Assessment Centre by police or peace officer, referred by a medical professional, or through a judge’s warrant.
"I am hopeful that the new legislation will change lives and get people on the road to recovery," Saskatoon Tribal Chief Mark Arcand said. "This is about treating the addiction, the illness, for those who are struggling and can't ask for help. I appreciate that involuntary treatment will be done in a culturally responsive way to support individuals on their health journey. "
The Government of Saskatchewan will be seeking feedback from stakeholders, partners, and the public on how the legislation should be implemented. Information will be available at saskatchewan.ca/compassionate-intervention.
Province Provides Funding for Intensive Community Support Program in Saskatoon
The Government of Saskatchewan is providing $250,000 to Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services (SCIS) for its Intensive Community Support Program for adults with mental health and substance use needs.
The Intensive Support Program (ICS) provides wraparound supports in the community to 80 adults with mental illness who are hard to house and difficult to engage in programming.
"We are supporting Saskatoon Crisis Intervention as they build relationships with individuals who need help on their path to treatment and recovery," Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr said. "This program is essential to support those at risk of homelessness and potential increased use of emergency medical services."
ICS staff work with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to help clients improve their health, secure long-term housing and financial stability and connect with community supports. Some clients also receive onsite assistance with medication management, chronic or mental health managing medical needs, and daily tasks such as grocery shopping, paying bills or cleaning their home.
"With the investment from the Government of Saskatchewan, we can continue providing intensive case management to a marginalized group of people in Saskatoon," SCIS Executive Director Jodie Semkiw said. "This will help clients achieve housing stability, meaningful connection to supports, and a return to community involvement."
Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services is a registered nonprofit organization. The new, annualized funding from the province will allow the organization to maintain ongoing services and staffing.
