2026 Pet Licensing Renewal
As we begin a new year, residents are reminded that pet licenses must be renewed annually. All dogs and cats residing in Martensville are required to be licensed with the City.
Annual pet licences expire on December 31 each year. Residents are encouraged to renew promptly to ensure their pet’s information remains current. Lifetime licences are also available for pets that are microchipped and do not require annual renewal.
Pet licensing plays an important role in:
• Reuniting lost pets with their owners quickly
• Ensuring pets receive proper care if they are found
Supporting responsible pet ownership within the community
• Meeting requirements for access to the Martensville Dog Park
Licences can be purchased or renewed at City Hall. Residents are also reminded to notify the City of any changes to contact information to help ensure timely reunification should a pet become lost.
For more information on pet licensing, including fees and requirements, please visit the City of Martensville website.

Later in the month, the library will also be celebrating Family Literacy Day on January 27, with this year’s theme, “Make Mealtime Family Learning Time!” Families are encouraged to bring learning into the kitchen or around the dinner table by following recipes together, sharing stories, and enjoying meals as a family. To support the initiative, families can pick up a Family Literacy Spice Kit at their local Wheatland library, featuring ground cayenne and ground coriander, and try out new recipes at home.

MFD and STARS Partner for Joint Training Exercise
Last week, the Martensville Fire Department partnered with STARS Ambulance for a joint training exercise focused on off-airport helicopter landings.
This type of training is critical for maintaining proficiency when assisting STARS crews with safe landing zone setup and patient transport
during serious trauma calls. The exercise also provided valuable handson experience for STARS pilots, allowing them to work alongside local fire crews and practice night landing operations in real-world conditions.
Joint training like this helps ensure a coordinated, efficient response when seconds matter most, strengthening inter-agency collaboration and enhancing emergency care for the community.

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Possibilities
Youth Connection (PYC) is inviting the community to come together for a fun and meaningful evening in support of youth mental health programming, with a Music Bingo Fundraiser Night set for March 15, 2026.
The event will take place at the Penalty Shot Lounge in the new Warman rink and is being hosted in partnership with Cork & Kettle Music Bingo. Designed as a family-friendly evening, the fundraiser will combine music, games, prizes, and a dessert auction, all while supporting free mental health programming for youth.

Funds raised through the event will support PYC’s programs in Martensville, Warman, Saskatoon (Rosewood and Hampton Village), and Waldheim. Over the course of 2025, Possibilities Youth Connection expanded its reach to serve four communities, allowing the organization to support more youth through mental health education, skill development, and opportunities for positive community connection.
As demand for youth mental health services continues to grow, community fundraising remains essential to sustaining this work. PYC’s goal for the Music Bingo Fundraiser Night is to sell 100 tickets and raise $15,000, with all proceeds going directly to The Brighter Future Fund. This fund ensures youth can access programming at no cost, removing financial barriers for families.
“This work is only possible because of the generosity of community members and businesses,” Stacey Klassen, PYC Supervisor, stated. “Thank you for supporting local youth and helping us create safe, inclusive spaces where young people can learn, grow, and thrive. We truly couldn’t do this without you.”
Delegations and Policy Review Highlight
January 13 City Council Meeting
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Martensville City Council held its first regular meeting of the year on Tuesday, January 13, which included two presentations and a discussion regarding the City’s policy framework.
The meeting began with a presentation from Pamela and Darren Warren, who addressed council regarding concerns and suggested improvements at the Martensville dog park. The Warrens highlighted the lack of clear signage at the dog park and requested that council consider disallowing bicycles within the fenced dog park area. They also asked for clarification on signage at Hyde Park related to whether bikes are permitted in certain areas. In addition, they proposed the addition of perimeter fencing at the dog park, along with the creation of separate fenced areas for large and small dogs.
Council also heard a presentation from Access Communications, which provided an overview of the organization’s role and involvement in the Martensville community. The presentation was delivered by Martin Smith, Regional Manager, and Wade Petersen, Senior Manager of Technical Operations, and included a slide presentation outlining Access Communications’ services and community contributions.
Following the delegations, City Manager Tanya Garost presented a report to council related to the review and housekeeping of council-approved policies. Garost noted that the policy review was first introduced at the May 13, 2025 Committee of the Whole meeting, at which time council requested access to the City’s policies for review. The policies were subsequently posted on the City of Martensville’s public website for viewing.
Administration brought the report back to council on January 13th for consideration of delegating authority over administrative policies to the City Manager, as well as rescinding and removing four policies that are no longer required.
Council was informed that the City of Martensville currently has 82 councilapproved policies covering a wide range of topics, from community governance to staff administration. Administration recommended dividing these policies into two distinct categories with separate approval processes. The first category would consist of council policies, which relate to governance, the mayor and council, or legislative matters, and would continue to require council approval at a regular meeting following a review period. The second category would consist of administrative policies related to staffing and internal organizational functions, which would be approved by the City Manager or designate following an internal review process.
POLICE BEAT RCMP Release Top 911 Calls That “Missed The Mark” For 2025
Saskatchewan RCMP Operational Communication Centre employees provide a critical service within the RCMP by supporting both public and officer safety. In 2025, calls ranged from misdials and false alarms to serious incidents regarding matters of public safety.
“We release our annual list to remind people that misusing 911 can delay emergency responders from reaching someone in a life-threatening situation,” says Jocelyn James, manager of the Saskatchewan RCMP OCC. “Saskatchewan RCMP 911 call-takers and dispatchers answered 422,378 calls this year – an increase of 15 per cent compared to 2024. Every moment that we’re spending speaking with someone who is complaining about their family member’s loud snoring is a moment that could have been used helping someone in a serious emergency.”
Here are the top 10 calls that "missed the mark" in 2025:
10. End of the roll: A frustrated individual called to complain that they were out of toilet paper.
9. Rocky road: 911 dispatchers received a call from an individual that was upset because they had to drive their expensive vehicle through a construction zone.
8. Are you there? A caller advised that they called 911 because the TV show they were watching inadvertently triggered their phone to place the call.
7. This isn’t an aisle: An individual called to complain that someone left a shopping cart in their driveway.
6. Where to next: A frustrated individual called looking for a phone number for a taxi service.
5. Don’t get into a spin: 911 dispatchers received a call from a concerned individual about their neighbours not following the rules of laundry day.
4. Order up: An individual called to complain that a restaurant was taking too long to make their lunch.
3. Zzzzzz’s: 911 dispatchers received a call from an individual because their family member’s loud snoring was keeping them awake.
2. How dare you: A frustrated individual called because their friend cooked their pork chop without permission.
1. Can you send a pin? 911 dispatchers received a call from an individual saying they had lost their phone and were wondering if an officer could give the phone a call so they could hear it. (Read that again…)
Please remember: whether you’re out of toilet paper, upset about your late lunch, or you’ve lost your phone – these are not reasons to call 911. Doing so must be reserved for life-threatening emergencies and crimes in progress.
Saskatchewan RCMP would like to remind the public that there are ramifications for those who misuse 911. Not only is there a chance of preventing someone with a lifethreatening emergency from getting help, there is also a summary offence charge under the Emergency 911 Systems Act with fines up to $2,000.
Saskatoon Police Conclude Third Retail Crime Blitz of 2025
The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) has concluded its third retail crime enforcement initiative of 2025, following a multi-day blitz conducted throughout December.
Known as Project Shield, the operation took place on six separate days at predetermined retail locations across Saskatoon. The initiative was led by members of the SPS Community Mobilization, Alternative Response, and Bike Units, who worked in close collaboration with store loss prevention officers and private security personnel.
The focus of Project Shield was to identify and arrest prolific and violent offenders involved in retail-related crimes. As a result of the blitz, police made 30 arrests, including 15 repeat offenders and 10 individuals classified as violent. In total, 42 charges were laid, and more than $2,600 worth of stolen merchandise was recovered.
During the operation, police also shared updates related to ongoing investigations in both Saskatoon and Edmonton that were advanced as a direct result of arrests made during Project Shield.
The December enforcement initiative followed a continued increase in theft and violence across Saskatoon’s retail landscape. With holiday shopping contributing to busier stores and higher activity levels, police emphasized the importance of ensuring safety in retail environments.
“As holiday activity increases in our city and retail spaces become busier, it’s important that every community member feels safe,” said Inspector Doug McNeil of the SPS Community Engagement Division in a prior release. “By strengthening enforcement and collaboration with our retail partners, Project Shield is a commitment to ensuring retail spaces remain welcoming and retail crime offenders are held accountable.”
In addition to enforcement, education was provided to less-prolific offenders under certain circumstances, as part of the initiative’s broader approach to reducing repeat offences.
Police thanked retail partners and community members for their cooperation and assistance throughout the blitz. Residents are encouraged to continue reporting crime or suspicious activity in retail spaces by calling 306-975-8300, or 9-1-1 in an emergency.
Saskatoon Police Investigate Break And Enter With Firearm on Pendygrasse Road
Saskatoon Police are investigating a break and enter to a residence involving a firearm. At approximately 2:30 a.m., January 13, 2026, patrol officers responded to an unknown problem at an apartment in the 400 block of Pendygrasse Road. Upon arrival, police learned a male had allegedly entered a second floor apartment via the balcony and threatened the female occupant with a firearm before fleeing with several items. Further investigation located an imitation firearm and one round of ammunition outside of the apartment building. The 23-year-old victim was not physically injured. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Saskatoon Police at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Supports 80 New Projects Across Saskatchewan
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Eighty new traffic and pedestrian safety projects in communities across Saskatchewan are moving forward thanks to the latest round of funding from the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund.
A total of $2,050,729 has been awarded to 80 projects in 78 Saskatchewan communities, with individual grants ranging from $1,232 to $100,000. Funded improvements include initiatives such as speed bump installations, speed display signage, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and emergency warning systems.
“The Government of Saskatchewan and SGI remain dedicated to making our roads safer for everyone,” said Jeremy Harrison, Minister Responsible for SGI. “Through $2 million in provincial grants, 78 municipalities and First Nations across Saskatchewan will be able to implement important traffic safety improvements in their communities.”
Examples of projects funded in this round include speed bump installation in the Village of Pelly, speed display signs on the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation, and emergency warning stop lights at the fire hall in the City of Warman.
Several larger allocations were also approved, including $100,000 for the Town of Biggar to complete Phase 4 of its walking and bike path project. The Village of Dundurn received $75,478 for pathway development and solar-powered lighting to support vulnerable road users, while the City of Humboldt was awarded $88,725 for Highway 5 trail paving. The City of Saskatoon received $67,000 to install a pedestrian crossing device at 33rd Street and Avenue B.
Provincial Traffic Safety Fund grants are awarded twice each year and are funded through proceeds from photo speed enforcement, including speed cameras such as those installed on Circle Drive in Saskatoon. Since the program was established in 2019, $16.6 million has been distributed to 998 projects throughout Saskatchewan.
Eligible projects must address one or more traffic safety priorities, including speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, occupant protection, intersection safety, aggressive driving, vulnerable road users, or medically at-risk drivers.
Applications for the next round of funding are now being accepted, with a deadline of March 31, 2026. Applications are reviewed by a committee made up of representatives from the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Prince Albert Grand Council, the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Highways, and SGI.

The announcement took place at the Innovation Saskatchewan Research and Technology (R+T) Park in Regina and featured Greenwave Innovations, a 2024 and 2021 SAIF recipient. Since launching Greensense, its AI-powered energy and asset management platform, the company has continued to grow by helping organizations reduce energy waste and operating costs.
"Through the support provided by the SAIF program, Greenwave has been able to significantly enhance and accelerate the development of Greensense," Greenwave Innovations President and CEO Dean Clark said. "Heading into 2026, we are very well positioned to execute on our geographical expansion plans as we deploy our industryleading energy management technology within buildings across Canada and beyond. Greenwave wishes the nine new recipients great success as we continue to grow the thriving entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem here in Saskatchewan!"

Saskatchewan Adds Over 15,000 Jobs In 2025
Statistics Canada recently released their annual labour force numbers which demonstrate that Saskatchewan's labour market experienced another strong year with continued low unemployment and consistent job growth.
In 2025, Saskatchewan's economy created 15,200 jobs. The province also had the lowest annual unemployment rate among provinces at 5.2 per cent, well below the national average of 6.8 per cent. Saskatchewan was the only province to record a decline in unemployment rate compared to 2024.
"In 2025, Saskatchewan continued to experience strong job growth and low unemployment rates, this is the direct result of the strength of industry and employers, and the increasing opportunities available in Saskatchewan," Immigration and Career Training Minister Eric Schmalz said. "Our government is committed to ensuring this growth continues into 2026 and that Saskatchewan remains the best province in Canada to live, work, and raise a family."
In 2025 Saskatchewan saw all time historical highs with:
• 510,600 people in full-time employment;
• 617,400 people employed; and
• 651,200 people in the labour force.
Saskatchewan had the highest employment rate at 63.9 per cent and the second highest labour force participation amongst provinces at 67.4 per cent. Saskatchewan's two biggest cities also saw growth this year. Compared to 2024, Saskatoon's employment was up 4,000, an increase of 2.0 per cent, and Regina's employment was up 6,500, an increase of 4.5 per cent.
Industries that saw the largest job gains from 2024 were health care and social assistance up 9,000, construction which increased by 5,000, and agriculture increased by 1,600.
The province continues to see economic growth in other areas. In 2025 Saskatchewan ranked first amongst provinces for growth in urban housing starts (January to November) and second in the value of building permits and new motor vehicle sales (January to October).
This economic growth is backed by the Government of Saskatchewan's Building the Workforce for a Growing Economy: The Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy, a roadmap to build the workforce needed to support Saskatchewan's strong and growing economy, and Securing the Next Decade of Growth: Saskatchewan's Investment Attraction Strategy, a plan to increase investment in the province and to further advancing Saskatchewan's Growth plan goal of $16 billion in private capital investment annually.
