The City of Saskatoon is responding to the province instituting Step 1 of the Re-Opening Roadmap.
Outdoor public gathering size limits have gone from 10 to 150 people in spaces such as parks. To request use of outdoor civic space for an event, organizers are encouraged to submit application forms to the City well in advance of the event to allow plenty of time for review and approval.
An additional approval may be required from the Government of Saskatchewan’s Business Response Team to ensure the event is permitted to operate under the restrictions.
Adult and youth league play is now permitted and can resume at the outdoor sports fields; however, tournaments are not permitted at this time.
The limit of 8 participants in a class has been removed for land fitness programs. Within Step 1 guidelines, capacity is now based upon the ability to provide 3 metres of physical distance between participants during class and in the change rooms, which has allowed for a slight increase to drop-in fitness program class sizes at the City’s Leisure Centres.
All health and safety protocols such as wearing a mask and physical distancing must still be followed by all visitors to Leisure Centres, including those who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.

Participants and spectators are reminded of the following guidelines for outdoor sports activities:
• Each playing surface or game area must follow the outdoor gathering limit of 150 people.
• Masks are not required outdoors, however, they may still be worn if participants and spectators are more comfortable with an additional layer of protection.
• Spectators not from the same household should maintain 2 metres of physical distance.
• Players should avoid physical contact such as shaking hands or high fives.
• Individual and protective equipment should not be shared. Bats, helmets and other shared equipment should be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
• Leagues and sports organizations may have additional protocols in place for play.
