ICYMI: Free parking, closed libraries: Saskatoon on holiday Monday

While there’s plenty to do on the August long weekend for Saskatoon residents, the city is reminding everyone of adjusted hours and closures of public services for the holiday Monday.

Getting around

Drivers won’t be required to pay for municipal parking on Monday, though the city said posted time limits would still be enforced.

Saskatoon Transit is operating on their holiday schedule, while Access Transit will run their normal Monday service.

Closed

City Hall, all Saskatoon Public Library locations, Cosmo Civic Centre and the Terry Fox Track at SaskTel Sports Centre are all closed to the public.

The municipal impound lot will also be closed, meaning any vehicles seized can’t be claimed until Tuesday.
