Holly Kelleher City Council Ward 7

Downtown Saskatoon has so much to offer residents, business and visitors alike. From the stunning Meewasin valley to the architectural capital to the many festivals and events hosted along the river bank each year, Downtown Saskatoon is the heartbeat of the City. I am honoured to be serving on the Board of DTNYXE and excited to make a contribution to ensure Downtown remains vibrant and a preferred location from the more than 1,200 businesses located within the area.

Lyndon Laprairie Buckwold Western Ltd.
To me it is important to support downtown and encourage investment in vibrant streets, unique shops, and the people who make Saskatoon feel like home. Whether it’s grabbing coffee from a local café, attending a street festival, or walking along the riverbank, every moment spent downtown helps build a stronger, more resilient city.
Steve Seiferling Seiferling Law

Saskatoon has one of the nicest Downtown areas in Canada, with the South Saskatchewan River creating a wonderful skyline. Everything I need as a lawyer is walkable from my office, even in the cold of winter, and we have some amazing restaurants and businesses to keep me, and my clients fed. Saskatoon has many character buildings, including the Arthur Cook building, where my office is located. This provides Downtown with architectural character, while still having interior options that match a modern feel.

With the support of DTNYXE, our Downtown keeps growing and evolving — creating unforgettable experiences for all who work, invest, live, and visit.

Mike Velonas Meewasin Valley Authority

Downtown Saskatoon, including the beautiful Meewasin Valley, is the heart and soul of our city. Downtown is my favourite place to shop, visit museums, stroll, and enjoy the nightlife. A vibrant Downtown makes for a healthy city, and I am thrilled to be involved with DTNYXE.
