Back Lane and General Cleanup Program –Starting in September
The City of Martensville’s Fall Lane and General Cleanup program is back this September, giving residents the opportunity to dispose of items that are not accepted during regular garbage pick-ups. Our Public Works department, in collaboration with the Urban Camp, will collect eligible items on specific dates, which are listed below. This program helps reduce the amount of trash and debris left in back lanes, at the City Yard Waste Depot, and in business/contractor dumpsters.
Residents are responsible for ensuring their waste meets the criteria for collection. Any items not collected or not accepted under the guidelines must be properly disposed of through approved means to avoid penalties under the Waste Bylaw. Please note: This program is designed for residential yard cleanup waste only and is not intended for commercial or industrial waste.
2025 Collection Schedule
Residents that live North of Main Street will have their items picked up the week of September 8th - 12th. All items will need to be out by September 8th - 8:00 AM.
Residents that live South of Main Street will have their items pick up the week of September 15th - 19th. All items will need to be out by September 15th - 8:00 AM.
Please note that the City will be making one pass only. When can I place items out for collection? All residents with back lanes shall not place any items out in the lane until one week prior to pick-up each year. All residents without back lanes shall not place any items curbside until one day before pickup. Please ensure that the items placed in the lanes and curbside are not restrictive to traffic, and that lanes and curbs do not contain any items that you do not want removed. The City will not be responsible for anything left in the back lanes by residents. Please kindly keep the lane bordering your property maintained to ensure a safe and quick collection.

Congratulations to Deputy Chief Jason Marshall on this well-deserved promotion.
Martensville Gears Up for Culture Days 2025
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Culture Days is just around the corner, and Martensville is once again joining communities across Saskatchewan in celebrating arts, culture, and creativity. The annual month-long event kicks off in September and runs through October, offering residents the chance to participate in free, engaging activities suited to all ages and abilities.
According to the Saskatchewan Culture Days website, since its launch within the province in 2010, Culture Days has encouraged people across the province to try new cultural experiences, from Métis jigging and mandolin lessons to tipi-raisings, printmaking, and much more. Martensville has proudly been a part of the celebration for the past 10 years, bringing workshops, performances, and cultural experiences to the community.
This year’s Culture Days in Martensville promises something new and exciting. On September 21st, Lions Park will host the inaugural Filipino Festival, running from 8:00am to 8:00pm. The daylong celebration will feature food trucks, traditional dances, live performances, music, and more. The event is free to attend, with food available for purchase, and organizers are hopeful it will become an annual tradition.
Another highlight is an American Sign Language (ASL) workshop on October 2nd at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion. Running from 6:00pm to 7:30pm, the session will give participants the opportunity to learn about Deaf culture, communication, and basic signs.
“Learning and participating in the celebration of other cultures is a big part of who we are as Canadians. We are a multicultural society. Learning from each other also allows room for more acceptance, understanding, and is a fun starting point for becoming closer as a community,” Jamie McCulloch, Recreation Program Coordinator II, said.
Planning the event takes creativity, patience, and collaboration. Local groups, such as the Filipino Bayanihan Group in Martensville, along with grants from Culture Days, make it possible to bring these programs to life. Volunteers also play a big role in helping ensure each year’s celebration is a success.
Looking ahead, organizers are excited by the growth of Culture Days in Martensville. With the addition of the Filipino Festival and the hope of more cultural programming in the years to come, the future of the event looks bright.
Best of all, there’s no need to register, area residents are encouraged to simply come out and take part.
“Culture Days is about trying something new, meeting your neighbours, and celebrating what makes our community special,” McCulloch added. “We hope to see everyone there to celebrate Culture Days 2025!”

The Maddogs minor football team held their season opener on Sunday, September 7th with the Pee Wee team starting at 1 pm and the Bantams at 3pm at Warman High School Field.
SPORTS Maddogs Start the Season
This tackle football team in the Kinsmen Football League (KFL), operates under the umbrella of the Saskatoon Minor Football Association. There are two age groups of males and females in the KFL: the Hilltop age group is for Grade 6 & 7 players, while the Huskies age group is for Grade 8 & 9 players. The Hilltops league is Canadian 9-aside football rules, and the Huskies league is Canadian 12-aside football rules.
The program saw some new changes this year as they are playing on a new home field and adopted a new logo as they merged with Warman earlier this year.
Due to low numbers, the decision to merge the two teams made the organization able to continue. Practices will continue in both Martensville and Warman, with all games being held at Warman High School Field. There will also be a classroom available in Warman to review video footage of games.
“The PeeWee team (Hilltop Maddogs) played a tough game against the Ledingham Steelers but lost out 44-18. Our Bantam team (Huskie Maddogs) played a strong game against the Ledingham Steelers and came out on top with a win of 27 –19,” said Sandra Stabner, Treasurer for the Maddogs.
Come out and cheer the Maddogs at their next home game against the Tinkler Raiders this Sunday, September 14th.
Celebrating the Life of Mike Smith

Ottenbreit, Martensville Messenger
On Saturday, September 6th, friends and family held a one-day Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament at the Martensville diamonds in memory of Mike Smith.
Smith died in May 2023 after an illness with cancer. A celebration of life and a ball tournament took place at the Slo-Pitch Diamonds to mark his passing. Friends organized an annual tournament, scheduled every September, in his memory.
Smith was a devoted family man and respected community member, known for his service as a volunteer firefighter and hockey coach. This annual tournament, created by friends in his honour, donates all proceeds to local causes and those in need.
The event was a success again because of the generosity of the sponsors and the strong support demonstrated by many community members.
The Caesar Mill and Martensville & District Kinsmen Club sponsored the tournament prize which was a $250 gift card to Caesar Mill. Them, along with HyTech Drilling provided door prizes. Other volunteers included the Seniors from the New Horizon Center and the fire department who helped organize and work the bar.
‘Mike’s Hit Crew’, which is Smith’s ball team, all sported a t-shirt with a caricature of Mike in a race car. They also were once again the winners of the tournament followed by ‘Sports’ and ‘I’ll Sit’.
“It was a perfect day, filled with so much fun, laughter, and love. Everyone came together to raise funds for the community that was close to his heart, and it’s truly special to see the support and joy that filled the air. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, better company, or a better way to celebrate his memory. This event is a testament to the lasting impact he had on all of us, and we are already looking forward to next year," said Mike’s wife Kristen.
Once the final tally is complete, they plan to help support the ‘Teacher’s Fund’ organized by the Martensville Kinettes & Kinsmen which will help provide teachers with educational materials that aren’t provided by the schools, as well as Kidsport.

Saskatchewan Recognizes Living Organ Donation Week
The Government of Saskatchewan has designated the week of September 7-13 to be Living Organ Donation Week in Saskatchewan to celebrate living donors and recipients and inspire more people to consider becoming donors.
"Saskatchewan's commitment to organ and tissue donation reflects our dedication to enhancing and extending the lives of those who are in dire need of a donation," Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. "We are proud to showcase these incredibly selfless acts of generosity that have transformed the lives of residents in our province."
To raise awareness, a province-wide advertising campaign will be launching this week featuring living organ donors and recipients from Saskatchewan on social media channels, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. There will also be digital billboard ads shown in doctor's offices, airports, cineplex movie theatres and on city buses in Regina and Saskatoon.
Brent Kruger is one of the living organ donors featured in the campaign who donated his kidney to a stranger in February of 2023. He decided to become a donor after seeing a news story about a woman in Saskatoon who used her car to publicly call for help in finding a kidney donor who matches her blood type.
"My blood type matched and it was almost like a light-bulb moment," Kruger said. "I knew I had to at least give the number a call just to see what the process was like."
"If it weren't for the scars on my abdomen, I wouldn't know that I gave a kidney, because I feel amazing. There was a little bit of pain and discomfort after the surgery, but every time I see Debbie, my recipient, I just say, it was all worth it to give her a second chance at life. I wouldn't change that for the world. You don't have to donate to just friends and family or someone you know. I donated to somebody that I know now, but I think that the people that donate to people that they may never meetthat's next level."
Living organ donation is part of a broader effort to increase organ and tissue donation rates in Saskatchewan, which is crucial for reducing wait times for patients needing a transplant procedure. As of July 2025, there are 107 adult patients waiting to receive a kidney in Saskatchewan.
"Living kidney donation offers patients a shorter wait time, better long-term outcomes, and the chance to avoid dialysis, giving them the best opportunity for a healthy life," Transplant Nephrologist and Living Kidney Donation Program Lead Dr. Rahul Mainra said. "Living kidney donors make an extraordinary gift by transforming lives, reducing the transplant waitlist, and providing hope for patients in need. The Saskatchewan Transplant Program is proud to help living donors and recipients achieve these great outcomes."
Any person 18 -years or older can contact the Saskatchewan Transplant Program to inquire about living organ donation by calling 1-844-RENAL2U or 306-766-6475. While only kidney donations are accepted and only kidney transplant procedures are performed in Saskatchewan at St. Paul's Hospital in Saskatoon, the Transplant Program works with other provinces and physicians that facilitate transplants for other organs.
"I would like to thank all of the amazing organ donors in our province who have allowed patients in Saskatchewan and other provinces to live longer, healthier lives," Cockrill said. "Without these donors and our incredible community of physicians, surgeons and health care teams, these life-changing, and often times, life-saving procedures, would not be possible."

Committee of the Whole Recaps RCMP Statistics, Food Waste Presentation, and Key Bylaw Discussions
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
At the Tuesday, September 9th Committee of the Whole meeting, council heard two presentations before moving on to a short agenda of discussion items.
First, there was a delegation by Maddy From, who was in attendance representing Food Cycle Science, and shared details to Council on how FoodCyclers can be used as a municipal food waste tool. FoodCyclers are countertop appliances that break down food scraps into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. In just a few hours, they reduce kitchen waste by up to 90%, helping divert food waste from landfills and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The company is looking to run a pilot program that would see FoodCyclers available through their municipal office at a subsidized rate.
Next on the agenda was a presentation by the RCMP, who shared their monthly statistics for August, comparing numbers from 2024 and 2025. Total offences saw a decrease from 214 to 204, with a significant drop in personal offences (18 in 2024 to 7 in 2025), a slight increase in property offences (26 in 2024 and 30 in 2025), an increase in provincial traffic offences (97 in 2024 to 110 in 2025) and a decrease in non-offence codes (61 in 2024 and 47 in 2025). RCMP noted that there has been an increase in theft at Martensville’s Canadian Tire location, and they will be meeting with the owners to discuss options to increase security.
The first item up for discussion was a draft bylaw to regulate private fire hydrants, which are typically located on larger commercial or multi-family properties. A recent review found that five of the city’s 30 private hydrants required significant repairs or replacement. The new bylaw aims to clarify the responsibility of property owners to provide maintenance, inspections, and annual testing of these hydrants.
Council then discussed the proposed first reading of an amendment to the District Official Community Plan, focused on refining the Regional Community Services Node between Martensville and Warman. ISL Engineering was contracted in 2023 by the cities of Martensville and Warman, along with the RM of Corman Park, to determine the node’s location, which was finalized in 2024.
The selected location is currently zoned as Green Area Network and Future Residential. The proposed amendment covers two quarter sections of land between Grid Road 3051/Thompson Road, north of Main Street/384. Developments such as the proposed joint-use high school, recreation facilities, a joint RCMP facility, and an urgent care centre would be included within the node. Since these facilities would not occupy the full 320 acres, the remaining lands would be retained for future urban residential development.
Council will meet again on Tuesday, September 16th for their final Regular Council meeting of the month. You can view the agenda, and find more information about Council at Martensville.ca.
Saskatchewan Continues Groundbreaking Research in Vaccine Technologies
On Monday, September 8th, Saskatchewan's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) signed a partnership extension with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), based in South Korea. The partnership focuses on post-pandemic global health.
Minister of Trade and Export Development and Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Warren Kaeding witnessed the signing as part of his trade mission to South Korea.
"This renewed partnership reflects Saskatchewan's commitment to being a global leader in science and innovation and highlights the success of our investments into VIDO," Kaeding said. "By working with international partners like the IVI, we help ensure that our expertise continues to have worldwide impact, and underscores Saskatchewan's Research Strategy released earlier this year."
The Government of Saskatchewan provides key operational funding to VIDO through Innovation Saskatchewan, ensuring the organization has the resources to advance world-class research and respond to emerging global health challenges. In addition to providing annual operating support, the Government of Saskatchewan has committed more than $19 million to support the development of Canada's Centre for Pandemic Research, positioning VIDO as a global leader in infectious disease research and vaccine development for humans and animals.
"Infectious diseases know no borders," VIDO Director and CEO Dr. Volker Gerdts said. "By continuing this partnership, we strengthen our ability to respond quickly and collaboratively to emerging threats that impact us all."
Based at the University of Saskatchewan, VIDO has collaborated with IVI for more than 20 years. The previous memorandum of understanding signing between VIDO and IVI was also witnessed by the Premier.
"VIDO's standing as Canada's Centre for Pandemic Research underscores the University of Saskatchewan's dedication to advancing science that matters - not only for our province and country, but for people and animals around the globe," University of Saskatchewan President Peter Stoicheff said.
IVI is an international nonprofit that develops and delivers vaccines globally. They have offices around the world, with headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.
"Today's global health challenges demand collaborative, sustained partnerships," Director General of IVI Dr Jerome H. Kim said. "Our collaboration with VIDO exemplifies how scientific innovation and shared expertise can accelerate progress toward safe, effective, and affordable vaccines worldwide."
Earlier this year, Saskatchewan released Accelerating Innovation, Advancing Industry: Saskatchewan's Research Strategy. This strategy aims to support the province's vision of global impact and help build a strong and prosperous Saskatchewan.

Medical Residency Expansion in Northeast Saskatchewan
The Government of Saskatchewan, in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine, is expanding physician training opportunities across the province. Beginning with the 2026 Canadian Residency Match System (CaRMS), the Department of Academic Family Medicine will add new family medicine core residency training seats, including one in Yorkton, with further seats to be announced in other communities.
"We are very pleased to be able to provide additional training opportunities for medical residents here in the province," Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. "This expansion will help to address health care needs in rural Saskatchewan, and we encourage new residents to consider building their practice here in the future."
This expansion builds on the success of the most recent South-East expansion which introduced residency training seats in Moosomin, Humboldt and Weyburn in 2022.
Training opportunities in family medicine are expanding across the province, with the College of Medicine offering 68 seats in the 2026 CaRMS match - an increase of 20 seats over the past five years.
“Where learners train strongly impacts where they practice,” said Dr. Sarah Forgie (MD) Dean of the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine. “Continuing to grow training opportunities across the province is a priority for our college, and these new resident doctor positions will strengthen health care supports for people in the area.”
In the 2025 CaRMS match earlier this year, 54 of the 147 residents who matched in Saskatchewan were local graduates from the U of S College of Medicine.
“This announcement is about building a stronger health care system for Yorkton and the region,” Yorkton Mayor Aaron Kienle said. “We thank the provincial government for bringing this residency position to our city. This opportunity allows a medical student to complete their residency training here, while also increasing the likelihood that they will choose to establish their career in our region. It is an important investment and we look forward to seeing this program grow.”
“Yorkton is a growing regional hub, and the addition of a new residency seat here will make a real difference in supporting local health care,” Yorkton MLA David Chan said. “Training future physicians in Yorkton helps meet the needs of families in our region today, while also encouraging doctors to stay and practice in our community for years to come.”
New Funding To Enhance Maternal Mental Health Support In Saskatchewan
The Government of Saskatchewan is providing $100,000 in new annual funding to the Saskatchewan Perinatal Health Network to develop and deliver a province-wide maternal mental health support program. The program will provide free in-person and virtual peer support services for new and expecting parents across Saskatchewan.
"This investment helps ensure that families across Saskatchewan have more access to mental health support during the life-changing experience of pregnancy and the birth of a baby," Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr said. "We want expecting and new parents to know that free, compassionate support is available in a safe environment, where they can connect and share with other parents."
The Saskatchewan Perinatal Health Network (SaskPHN), formerly the Regina Perinatal Health Network (RPHN), supports women and their partners who experience or are at risk of developing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder.
The new funding from the provincial government will enable the network to expand its peer support outreach to communities outside Regina, introduce an online booking platform and increase virtual appointments.
"As a community-based organization, our goal has always been to address the feelings of social isolation many expecting and new parents face, and to connect families with trauma-informed perinatal mental health support," Perinatal Health Network Program Coordinator Lin Carr said. "This funding will help us coordinate care across multiple agencies, ensuring families receive quality mental health support from prenatal stages through the first few years postpartum."
Those who need help can visit www.saskphn.ca to learn more or book an appointment.
This initiative enhances capacity to provide timely and accessible services as part of a new provincial approach to maternal mental health to better support the well-being of mothers, their children and their families throughout the course of pregnancy and after childbirth.
The provincial government also provides funding for the Wellbeing Course for New and Expecting Parents offered through the University of Regina's Online Therapy Unit. A NonBirthing Parents Resource is available as well through the program and will continue to be enhanced in 2025-26.
The province has also boosted annual funding to HealthLine 811 by $6.6 million in 2025-26. HealthLine 811 supports nurse and counsellor positions for mental health, addictions and maternal mental health calls. The Ministry of Health is also working with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to establish a maternal mental health coordinator position at 811.

With over 100,000 bodies of water across the province, Saskatchewan RCMP want everyone to be prepared if you find yourself in a sinking or submerged vehicle. “Drivers and passengers are at significant risk when a vehicle enters the water. Water can pour in through windows and doors causing entrapment, and the situation can quickly become life threatening. Knowing and practicing an escape plan with your family can prepare you for this kind of emergency,” says Cpl. Jamie Diemert, Saskatchewan RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT) Coordinator.
Saskatchewan RCMP’s URT urges drivers not to panic, and to practice these life saving tips for exiting a sinking vehicle:
S - Seatbelts off W - Windows open
O - Out immediately
C - Children first
The life saving acronym ‘SWOC’ was named by Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, a leading cold water and drowning physiologist, and professor emeritus from the University of Manitoba. Saskatchewan RCMP URT team members took part in vehicle immersion training informed by Dr. Giesbrecht earlier this summer. “No one ever plans for an accident, but we know they happen. Our police divers have responded to calls with vehicles in dugouts, sloughs, rivers and even lakes,” says Cpl. Diemert.
Since May 2025, Saskatchewan RCMP’s URT has responded to three calls involving submerged vehicles. Thankfully, no drownings resulted.
Make sure you know what to do if you’re in a vehicle that suddenly becomes submerged in water by remembering ‘SWOC’.
In the event of an emergency, call 911 once you’ve safely exited the vehicle.
Impaired Driver Arrested on Highway 12 with Children in Vehicle
On the evening of September 4, 2025, at approximately 10:20 p.m., Corman Park Police Service (CPPS) conducted a traffic stop on a northbound vehicle along Highway 12 near Township Road 382 after observing it being driven without taillights.
During the stop, officers noted signs of impairment in the driver. A roadside screening test was administered, resulting in a “FAIL.” The driver was subsequently arrested and transported to the Martensville RCMP detachment, where further testing confirmed blood alcohol levels of 140 mg% and 130 mg%, well above the legal limit.
At the time of the arrest, two children, ages 7 and 12, were inside the vehicle.
The driver was released on an Appearance Notice and is scheduled to appear in court in October.
CPPS emphasized there is no issue with people enjoying themselves responsibly with alcohol or cannabis, but driving impaired, especially with children in the vehicle, puts lives at risk. CPPS strongly urges the public to make safe choices, noting there are always alternatives to impaired driving.
“There are unlimited options to avoid driving impaired. Please, can we stop putting other road users, and especially our children, at risk,” CPPS stated.
Fatal Rollover at Emma Lake Under Investigation
On September 7, 2025, at approximately 11:20 a.m., Prince Albert RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle rollover on Highway #953 in Emma Lake. Officers responded along with local fire and EMS. The sole occupant of the vehicle was declared deceased by EMS at the scene. He has been identified as a 55-yearold male from Christopher Lake, SK. His family has been notified. Prince Albert RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.
Impaired Driver Crashes into Home
Corman Park Police Service shared a photo of a truck that had crashed into the basement of a home, destroying the power box. The driver of the vehicle was impaired, and will appear in court to face impaired driving charges. Thankfully no injuries were reported. (CPPS)
Be Safe! Wear a Helmet!
There’s nothing cooler than playing safe, and an ice-cold treat to beat the heat. Why not “be cool” this summer.
The Warman and Martensville RCMP have teamed up with 7-Eleven and CO-OP to help you “be cool”. We are on the lookout to reward kids who are practicing safety on the road, wearing helmets, and having fun while on bikes, scooters, and skateboards, etc.
So “be cool”, wear a helmet, and we will see you out there waiting with a sweet ticket with your name on it.
