Christmas tree Collection site
The City of Martensville Recreation & Community Services Department has established a Christmas tree collection site located on 3rd Street North , directly south of the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre ( 901 3rd St . N ). The exact location of the collection site is shown in the map below .
Christmas trees will be collected at the site until Saturday , February 4th , 2017 when they will be burnt as part of the bonfire and fireworks display during Winter FunFest .
In order to ensure the safety of our residents and the environment , we ask you to please do the following before dropping off Christmas trees :
• Remove all lights , ornaments , tinsel , string , garland , tree stands and any other decorations
• Do not dispose of artificial trees or other yard and household waste ( only live Christmas trees will be accepted )
• Do not bag or wrap your tree ( including recyclable tree bags )
• Please do not deposit any Christmas trees at the Yard Waste Composting Site ( 10th Ave . S )
• Please do not stack or place trees in a manner which may cause them to easily topple over , or in an area which impedes vehicular or pedestrian traffic
Thank you for your cooperation , and we look forward to seeing you at the Winter FunFest on February 4th , 2017 .
If you have any questions or would like more information about either the Christmas tree collection site or Winter FunFest , please visit the City of Martensville website ( www . martensville . ca ), or contact the City of Martensville Recreation & Community Services Department at ( 306 ) 931-2166 . snow And ice Control Program - What You Need to Know
The program aims to facilitate the handling of emergencies by Police , Fire , and Ambulance services during the winter months , reduce the hazards of icy conditions to motorists and pedestrians , and minimize the economic losses to the community and industry resulting from unsatisfactory winter driving conditions .
Information on general program procedures and the City ’ s Priority Map is available online at Martensville . ca , but here are a few ways you can help our crews keep our streets as clear and safe as possible :
- Do not shovel , blow , or push snow from private property onto the street – this causes snow ridges on your driveway when our plow cleans your street .
- Do not plow or pile snow on streets – this can block access to manholes and water valves and be a safety hazard .
- Clear your driveways in advance of the city ’ s snow clearing operations - this helps our operators clear your street more efficiently .
- Do not park your vehicle in an area where it could obstruct snow removal procedures - this hinders our operations and could result in a snow ridge blocking your vehicle in place .
- Do not leave large piles of snow at the corners of driveways – this snow can be caught by a raised snow-gate blade and topple over into your driveway or the street .
-Prevent snow from piling up on the front of your driveway by moving it near your tree / lawn areas behind your walkway .
-Watch for posted areas for Snow Removal - In case of snow and snow removal , crews need to have roads cleared off of all vehicles on posted streets . If you are going out of the City over a few days , please have your vehicles off City streets . Vehicles left on the street per the traffic bylaw are ticketed and towed ( to a non-posted area ).
Our crews strive to deliver excellent services , however sometimes weather can be unpredictable and snow and ice control activities may vary . Every reasonable effort will be made to remove snow and ice and create safe driving and walking conditions in a timely manner .

Rural Saskatoon Faces an Increase in Water Rates Ciara O ’ Reilly , Martensville Messenger Customers of SaskWater living in surrounding areas of Saskatoon could see a sizable increase in their water bill within the next two years . In fact , SaskWater has released that more than 48,000 users will be affected in the Saskatoon area . More specifically , approximately 37,000 people living in the areas of Warman , Martensville , Allan and the rural Municipality of Corman Park will face the rate increase over the next few years . In these regions , people can expect a 9.5 percent rate increase this year and a rate increase of 9.25 percent in 2018 .
According to CBC ’ s news release , rate adjustments will take effect in May of 2017 and May of 2018 . Saskatoon city council members voted to increase the city ’ s water bills by said amount last year in order to keep pace with rising operating costs and infrastructure management . “ SaskWater is dedicated to ensuring its customers receive safe , reliable and sustainable water services ,” said SaskWater President Doug Matthies . “ The corporation works hard to manage its costs as good water quality is fundamental .”
In addition , estimated costs from that of SaskWater in regards to the average individual household rate are estimated increases of $ 7.32 per month in 2017 and $ 7.53 per month in 2018 . A letter will be sent in order to notify those affected by the rate increase .
