Your City Hall is putting on a show, Saskatoon!

Your City Hall loves putting on a show!

Saskatoon — seven bridges, two rivers, and something happening you haven't heard about yet. My darlings, this past week at City Hall? A whole Nollywood production, from beginning to end!

Okay, so this is actually wild. We started with the drama around that big real estate development near Riversdale, you know the one I'm talking about. Everyone had an opinion, like we were all on a WhatsApp group chat discussing the latest family gossip. The back-and-forth was something else, almost as good as when they debate if we should rename the Broadway Bridge.

Then, just when you thought things might calm down, boom! Another plot twist, this time with some *very* passionate discussions about city planning and how we're going to grow. Saskatoon is a city that will invite you to a farm-to-table dinner and then make you defend the concept of a city for twenty minutes, so this isn't exactly new.

* The Riversdale real estate project had everyone talking.

* City planning debates were as lively as ever.

* It felt like a continuous mini-series of opinions and proposals.

It’s never a dull moment when your council gets together. They always give us a show, eh?
