Vision Zero Lawn Signs

Lawn Signs now available for pickup. In Fort Sask, we look out for each other, especially on the roads.

Pick yours up for free at the Protective Services Building (200 Town Crest Road, Fort Saskatchewan).

Fort Saskatchewan is a Vision Zero community. Our goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Grab a sign, place it on private property (not on the boulevard), and help remind drivers to slow down. Our kids and communities are counting on it! 

Bikes are Back

Bikes are back on Fort Saskatchewan roads, and so is our shared responsibility to keep each other safe.

Drivers: check your blind spots, signal early, and give riders space.

Riders: stay visible, follow speed limits, and ride responsibly.

In Fort Sask, we look out for each other.
