Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark says relief could be coming for city residents as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. A special meeting of city council is being held on Thursday, and the measures being discussed include relief for utility bills and property taxes. “I expect passing a measure so that people will not face any late payment charges until Sept.
30 if they can’t pay their water bills or their power bills,” Clark told Global News. “We will not be disconnecting any water or electrical services to any houses in the face of arrears that people have on their bills.” Clark said city council is also looking at extending the time for people to file their property tax notices by three months.
