Family Matters: Kindergarten learning expansion for Saskatoon Public Schools
Pearl Bayda, early learning consultant with SPS, said they are excited to expand their full day, every day English programming.

She said this could mean some schools could end up with more than one program.
City Coun. Troy Davies talks e-scooters and art galleries
Ward 4 Coun. Troy Davies said the Remai Modern art gallery was $8.2 million over budget but noted that won’t be coming out of taxpayer pockets.
“We have those dollars in our reserves to make sure to make sure that’s covered.
Davies said he was looking forward to trying the new e-scooters in Saskatoon, noting it’s a pilot program for two years.
Ravioli, the world’s friendliest cat, steals the show on Adopt a Pet
Sheila Gibbons with the Saskatoon SPCA said Ravioli is not an aloof cat that will just pass you in the hallway.
“He is in your face, he wants pets, he wants attention, he wants cuddles, and he is ready for a forever home.”
Gibbons also talked about the 50/50 raffle with the grand prize draw on June 1, noting they were almost up to $50,000.
