Community leaders in Saskatoon are hoping everyone follows the rules this Christmas to help bend the COVID-19 curve.
“Saskatoon, in this holiday season, the biggest gift we can give our loved ones is their health,” Mayor Charlie Clark said in a media release.
“The new provincial guidelines are tough. I hear people struggling with this and looking for ways to get around the gathering rules. Please, don’t do that. This year will be different, and difficult, but there are ways that we can celebrate the holidays together, and worship together.”
Dr. Jasmine Hasselback, Saskatoon’s medical health officer, says it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate Christmas; it will just be different this year. That could include holding a virtual dinner.

Saskatoon mayor Charlie Clark is urging city residents to keep to their household bubbles over the holidays.
Clark acknowledged it s hard not seeing loved ones, but said everyone will be safer if public health orders are followed. Stay home. Let s work together. That has been what has helped our community as much as possible, said Clark during an online conference call Friday that included civic and faith leaders in the community. Let s focus on rallying to keep people alive, not telling people to break public health orders.
