SASKATOON At the start of the pandemic, the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo closed down to the public for several months but reopened in July. The Zoo is now seeing a steady flow of visitors from families and school trips from the generally good weather. “You know even on a day like this, which is a beautiful day, we’ll be very crowded,” zoo manager Jeff Mitchell told CTV News. “People will come out and we’ve got wide, wide paths and so people can socially distance appropriately and still have an opportunity to come out.” While the 60-acre zoo is mostly outdoors, visitors must wear masks inside buildings like the meerkat house.

SASKATOON Spying on the urban wildlife sneaking around Saskatoon, a University of Saskatchewan graduate student has captured incredible images from 30 trail cameras across the city. “It’s very much like there is this second world that is layered on top of us and it’s a world that not a lot of us get to interact with,” said Katie Harris, animal science student at the U of S. Since September, Harris’ trail cameras, donated by Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo, have captured images of a beaver taking a tree down, coyotes chasing a deer into a slough, mule deers roaming around freely and Red Foxes traversing through the natural and residential developments of the city.
