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.

Rosetown RCMP Investigating Spree of Break and Enters
Rosetown RCMP are searching for a suspect involved in multiple break and enters in Rosetown. On November 3, 2025, Rosetown RCMP received several reports of break and enters that occurred overnight.
Investigators determined an individual broke into two buildings on Main Street in Rosetown. A municipal building was forcibly entered, damaging two of the building’s doors. The building was rummaged through, and a tote bag was reported as stolen. A church was also broken into and damaged, and a sum of money was reportedly stolen.
Continued investigation determined two buildings, a business and a town maintenance building, on Highway #4 in Rosetown were also broken into. Tools and a sum of money were reported as stolen from the business, and a vehicle was stolen from the town maintenance building’s property. The vehicle has since been recovered by Rosetown RCMP.
Rosetown RCMP also received a report of an attempted break-in at a municipal building off Highway #4 in Rosetown. A door was damaged, but the individual did not gain access to the building.
Rosetown RCMP determined the string of break-ins occurred between 1:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on November 3.
Investigation to date has determined the suspect is a male. At the time of the incident, he was wearing dark-coloured clothing, red gloves, and a face covering.
Rosetown RCMP are requesting dash camera footage from anyone who drove through the areas of the break-ins in the early morning on November 3. Officers are also asking the community to check their home security cameras and doorbell cameras. If your device captured images or videos of suspicious activity, or if you witnessed suspicious activity on the morning of November 3, please report it to police.
Information and evidence can be reported to Rosetown RCMP by calling 310RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
Martensville Fire Department Shows Support for MADD’s Project Red Ribbon Campaign
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
The Martensville Fire Department (MFD) is once again showing its commitment to community safety by supporting MADD Canada’s Project Red Ribbon, an annual campaign promoting sober driving throughout the holiday season. Now in its 38th year, the campaign encourages Canadians to display red ribbons as a visible reminder to never drive impaired.
The MFD has joined forces with several other supporters of the campaign, including Saskatoon Fire Department, Medavie Health Services West, Corman Police, Dalmeny Police, and the Saskatchewan RCMP, and will be showing their support by typing red ribbons to all the fire apparatus at the Martensville Fire Hall.
“Impaired driving is not accident. It’s a choice. We remind everyone to make the right choice today, this holiday season, and every day, to stop impaired driving,” the MFD stated.
Project Red Ribbon runs each year from November 1 to early January, coinciding with the holiday season, which sadly is a time when impaired driving incidents traditionally increase.
“The campaign raises awareness during the high-risk holiday season, reminding Canadians that impaired-driving deaths and injuries are preventable. The red ribbon encourages everyone to never drive impaired, plan safe transportation, and call 911 to report suspected impaired drivers,” Deputy Fire Chief James Taylor, explained.
Help support this campaign and if you are planning to consume alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs, plan a safe ride home using a taxi, Uber, designated driver, or public transport. Don’t drive impaired, or ride with an impaired driver, and report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911.
Despite extensive laws, penalties, and public awareness efforts, impaired driving continues to be a serious concern across the country. On average, nine impaired driving charges or license suspensions are laid every hour in Canada.
Ribbons, as well as a donation box are available at Martensville City Hall and donations can be made online at https://maddchapters.ca/saskatoon/ .

Martensville Fire Department Conducts Annual Ice Rescue Training
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
As temperatures continue to fall and ice begins to form on local lakes and ponds, the Martensville Fire Department (MFD) has been preparing for the winter season with its annual ice rescue training. Firefighters were out participating in handson exercises designed to ensure the team is ready to respond quickly and safely in the event of an ice-related emergency.
The training allows members to practice real-life rescue scenarios, familiarize themselves with specialized equipment, and refine techniques needed to assist individuals who may fall through unstable ice.
MFD is reminding residents to stay off all bodies of ice until the department can confirm safe thickness levels. Conditions can vary widely from one area to another, and early-season ice is often unpredictable and dangerous.
The public is encouraged to watch for updates on ice thickness and winter safety tips on the Martensville Fire Department Facebook page in the coming weeks.

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
A&W Martensville is once again showing their support for the community through their Teen Burger Days campaign, which is held to help raise funds and awareness for KidSport Martensville, a local organization that helps ensure all children are given the opportunity to participate in organized sports.
On Saturday, November 22nd and Sunday, November 23rd, $2.00 from every Teen Burger sold will go towards supporting Martensville/Warman KidSport. This money will help local children aged 5 to 18 receive funding to access sports programs and registration fees that they might not otherwise be able to afford. The initiative not only boosted awareness of KidSport’s mission but also highlighted the important role local businesses play in strengthening community programs. Through the program, families can apply for individual grants of up to $750 per calendar year to help cover the costs of organized sports. Applications can be submitted online through KidSport Saskatchewan, and paper forms are available at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) for those who prefer to apply in person.
Community members can also play a direct role in supporting KidSport Martensville. Residents are encouraged to get involved by purchasing raffle tickets, attending local fundraising events, buying KidSport cutouts, or making a donation online. Donations over $25 are eligible for a tax receipt, making it easier for individuals and businesses to contribute to local youth.
The need for support continues to grow each year. So far this year, KidSport Martensville has received over 40 applications, providing more than $20,000 in assistance to help local children stay active and connected through sport.

Council Reviews Strategic Plan for 2025-2029; Development Activity; Progress at MRC and more
The November 18th Martensville City Council meeting opened with two public hearings regarding amendments to the Official Community Plan Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw. The proposed change would redesignate Parcels Y, Z and part of Parcel S in Lake Vista from commercial to residential to support new multi-unit housing. Notices were sent to all property owners within 75 metres of the site, and no feedback has been received to date. According to the developer, commercial interest in the area has been lower than expected; however, demand for higher-density housing within Lake Vista continues to grow, shown by existing projects within the area. The land remains under conditional sale pending required approvals. Amending the OCP, The Planning and Development Act, and the Martensville Zoning Bylaw will be required before any development proceeds.
Council then reviewed the draft City of Martensville Strategic Plan for 2025–2029, which centers on five priority areas: effective governance, collaboration and partnerships, public safety, growth, and infrastructure. Some highlights include expanding public engagement efforts, engaging community groups, strengthening regional collaboration, planning for future policing and fire service needs, updating zoning and levy bylaws, preparing sector plans, and continuing major infrastructure work such as wastewater connections, transportation upgrades and long-term asset management.
Work continues on the 2026 budget, with upcoming reviews of the Five-Year Capital Plan on December 2nd and the full Operating and Capital Budget on December 9th, followed by a final budget in the new year.
An update was also provided on Martensville’s water and wastewater connection to Saskatoon. The project will be presented to the RM of Corman Park council on November 25 to give RM officials an opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns.
Council was informed that mold was discovered in the old Zamboni room at the Parks building. Testing showed elevated spore levels, and remediation will be required once the ongoing building condition assessment is complete. In the meantime, a temporary trailer workspace has been set up for Parks staff next to the Public Works building until Council receives a full report with recommendations.
Progress continues at the Martensville Recreation Centre. The City has been working closely with contractors to address remaining deficiencies. The pylon sign is now fully operational, and installation of the north-side banners is planned for spring 2026. Work on outdoor spaces is ongoing, with tender documents expected to be completed throughout winter.
Administration also highlighted development activity throughout the community, including permit issuance for projects on Centennial Drive North, ongoing work toward an indoor storage facility in Meadows Business Park, foundation approval for a future dental office on Mirond Road, and more.
The Martensville Fire Department reported 415 calls to date, up from the previous two years, and outlined ongoing improvements in training, equipment and inspection programs. Statistics showed Saturdays as the busiest day with 87 calls, followed by Wednesdays at 76 and Sundays at 71. July was the quietest month with 29 calls, while August recorded 54, the highest monthly total so far.
Council also received an update on Trilogy Ranch, a major development proposed west of Highway 12 that could bring about 12,000 new residents at full build-out. A non-binding Memorandum of Understanding has been drafted to outline expectations around infrastructure funding and the City’s limited capacity to contribute. The MOU is recommended by administration before the next readings of the concept plan.
Council meets again on Tuesday, December 9th for the Committee of the Whole meeting. More information is available at Martensville.ca.

Saskatchewan Expands Patient Access to Primary Care with 19 Nurse Practitioner Contracts
The Government of Saskatchewan is delivering on its commitment to expand access for patients to primary care by signing 19 Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to contracts to provide publicly funded primary care services. This number is expected to continue to increase over the coming months with up to 30 contracts available.
“These new Nurse Practitioner contracts put patients first by expanding access to publicly funded primary care services, helping more Saskatchewan families to get the care they need sooner and closer to home,” Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. “Our government is committed to improving access to quality care for every patient, no matter where they live.”
This initiative, developed in close partnership with the Saskatchewan Association of Nurse Practitioners (SANP), is part of a broader strategy to ensure that everyone in Saskatchewan has access to a primary health care provider by the end of 2028. NP contracts are helping to deliver on this commitment.
As primary care providers, NPs can provide advanced assessments, diagnose and treat acute and chronic illness, order diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, perform medical procedures and refer patients to specialist services.
“The Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Contract Program opens the door for dedicated funding of NP services and increasing access to health care for Saskatchewan residents,” SANP President Michelle O'Keefe said. “The Saskatchewan Association of Nurse Practitioners is pleased that the initial pilot project has been expanded to offer up to 30 NPs a contract and will continue to work with the Ministry of Health to diversify how funded NP services are delivered within the province.”
Plans were announced in 2024 to create a funding model for independent NPs to provide publicly funded primary care, followed by an Expression of Interest (EOI) in June 2025. Originally, six NP contracts were approved for funding, but due to significant interest, the number was increased to 30.
“This funding model supports long-term, relationship-based practice and allows me to spend time on thorough assessments and thoughtful follow-up,” Nurse Practitioner for NPower+ Health, Hanna Latina said. “For patients, it means timely access to a dedicated provider with no out-of-pocket cost. All of this leads to better, more holistic health outcomes for patients and stronger communities.”
The Ministry of Health will continue working with SANP to implement this initiative, create more opportunities for NPs throughout the health system and improve patient access to primary care services across our province.
This new initiative creates more opportunities for Saskatchewan families to access publicly funded primary care delivered by NPs and is an alternative to private-pay NP services.
