Even with the province’s plan to reopen Saskatchewan, the City of Saskatoon warns not much will change anytime soon. “We are still under a provincial state of emergency, that has not changed,” said Pamela Goulden-McLeod, director of emergency management for the city, during a Zoom press conference Friday afternoon.
The city is reminding residents to keep practicing social distancing, continue to wash their hands and follow the province’s public health order.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left the city facing a few potential deficits, from $20.2 million to just under $43 million for 2020, according to a city report published Friday.
