Saskatoon Must Get Back To Basics
What is the job of a municipal government?
Many residents in Saskatoon are asking this very question.
A recent water main break that led to extended water restrictions in Calgary has put core services into the spotlight around the country.
People are questioning whether something similar could happen here, and whether the City is making good use of our tax dollars.
Despite rising property taxes, complaints about services like snow removal, pothole repairs, basic maintenance, and infrastructure persist.
Now, campaigning has started for the next municipal election in November - and with so few incumbents, there will be a lot of new faces on Council.
At Common Sense Saskatoon, one of our goals is to ensure that City Hall prioritizes core services.
We'll be bringing you important election information throughout the campaign, and we're hoping that the candidates prioritize core services too.
Let's let the candidates know that we're here, that we're watching, and that we'll be holding them accountable in November!
The residents of Saskatoon deserve reliable, efficient, and uninterrupted access to essential services that support their daily lives.
Prioritizing the maintenance and improvement of core infrastructure and services, such as water, sanitation, and roads, is the essential job of City Hall.
In fact, it should be the only job of City Hall.
Core services form the backbone of a functional and thriving city.
We must ensure that future budgets are free of non-essential projects that don’t directly benefit the majority of residents.
Our resources should be allocated where they are needed most, ensuring every dollar spent makes a real difference in our community.
Residents deserve to know their taxes are being used effectively and responsibly, with a clear focus on only the necessities.
No pet projects.
No misplaced priorities.
Let's make sure City Hall focuses on basics.
Join us in demanding City Hall accept that Saskatoon Must Get Back To Basics.
