stands right now, there is currently no legislation in Saskatche-
wan revolving around the capture of greenhouse gas emissions
produced from landfills. Almost every province in Canada has
a mandate that says gases emitted must be captured. As they
look toward the future, the City of Saskatoon has taken it upon
themselves to put this initiative into action.
An intricate part of the city’s development plan is waste reduc-
tion and diversion, which is reflected in each of the projects.
With this level of proficiency, anything is possible. The City of
Saskatoon is constantly looking for alternative sources of rev-
enue in hopes of reducing the tax burden on its residents. These
projects aim to do just that. The unique approach that the City
of Saskatoon is proposing may just be the answer to all of their
energy needs.
“We do a lot of school tours at our facility. We
always show it as one of the things Saskatoon is
doing to reduce our footprint.”
