Fall is a wonderful time of the year and the City has many opportunities for people to get active, creative, have fun and be safe all at the same time!
September starts tonight (Wednesday) with the final concert in the highly successful Drive-In Series at the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts featuring W3apons. Also there are many registrations on-going for fall activities and sports.
The Frank J. Dunn Pool will fire up this month for another season of swimming lessons, parties and activities.
It also is a great time of year for a walk in one of our great city parks, the Rotary Trail or Little Red River Park.

W3APONS is a Canadian Rock trio from Saskatoon. The band’s debut single “Off the Top of My Heart” reached #11 on the Canadian Active Rock Charts completely independently in 2019, and has received over 700,000 streams on Spotify. This pattern would continue for the band’s next three releases, all of which independently went Top 30 in Canada, including their first Top 10 “Bye Baby Gone”. W3APONS’s independent charting successes and relentless touring in 2019 resulted in them being handpicked by Theory of a Deadman to accompany them for all 21 Canadian dates of their Say Nothing 2020 World Tour.
