Status Update - November 2021

The South East Concept Plan (SECP) is just over halfway done. Urban Systems continues to work with Corman Park and Saskatoon on servicing and land use opportunities.

To date, two workshops were facilitated by Urban Systems; one in April and one in May to discuss servicing and land use goals, particularly in identified urban growth areas. The first workshop was administrations from Corman Park and Saskatoon. The second workshop was with the Steering Committee which includes representatives from English River First Nation, Cowessess First Nation, Ministry of Highways, Water Security Agency, etc. 

A final draft of the Natural Area Screening (NAS) was completed by the consultant in June 2021 which provided a high-level review of environmental features in the study area, identifying wetlands, plant and animal species and soil capabilities. Further assessment and consideration for conservation is recommended. These recommendations and when they should be completed will be considered in the final SECP.  The final Natural Area Screening Report is attached under Key Links.

The next stage involves Urban Systems continuing providing recommended servicing and land use strategies. These strategies will be shared in 2022 to obtain feedback from landowners, rights holders and stakeholders to help inform the outcome of the SECP. Both in-person and virtual engagement/communication are anticipated which will remain flexible and responsive to evolving public health guidance.

 Stay tuned for your opportunity to provide feedback!
