A healthy local economy is about more than what happens at the till. On Broadway, it is also built in all the little ways people show up for each other.

It can look like a business donating food to a community event, a volunteer giving up a Saturday afternoon, an organization lending tables or equipment, an artist bringing something unexpected to the district, or a neighbour simply making room for someone else at the table.

Not every kind of value comes with a receipt. Sometimes value looks like a conversation between strangers. Sometimes it is a meal shared with someone who might not otherwise have one. Sometimes it is a local business saying, “We can help with that.” Sometimes it is people choosing to spend their time, energy and money close to home. That sense of reciprocity is part of what makes Broadway feel like Broadway.

We are proud to be a business district full of independent shops, restaurants, artists, organizations, gathering spaces, patios, performances and people who care deeply about this neighbourhood. Supporting a strong local economy means supporting all of those connections too.

The Broadway Community Table is one small example of that in action.

Businesses, community organizations, volunteers and neighbours contribute in different ways, and everyone is invited to come together over a shared meal. There is no requirement to buy anything, bring anything or give anything back. Just come as you are and take a seat.

Our next Broadway Community Table is September 26 at Grace-Westminster United Church. Because sometimes building a stronger business district starts with something as simple as sharing a table.

👃🐾 SDDA Competitors, mark your calendars!

The Saskatoon SPCA is hosting our first-ever SDDA Scent Detection Trial, and we are thrilled to welcome Judge Ashley Horan!

📍 Floral Acres Greenhouse
🐕 All levels of competition offered

Entries open:
🔹 September 10 at 7:00 p.m. for registered participants
🔹 September 13 for the general public

Get those noses ready and come join us for a great weekend of scent work, competition, and supporting shelter animals.

Even better, all funds raised through the trial will go directly toward supporting the animals in the care of the Saskatoon SPCA. So every search helps animals while you and your dog work toward your next goal in the scent ring.

We are incredibly excited to bring an SDDA trial to the Saskatoon SPCA for the first time and hope to see lots of familiar scent-dog teams there!

Questions? Please reach out to Trial Chairperson Dawn.
