Marching bands, horses, clowns, floats that aren’t the ice-cream kind – that’s what you’ll find in downtown Saskatoon Tuesday to kick off the Saskatoon Ex.
The parade route is basically the same as past years with one change.
Prairieland Park marketing manager Kristy Rempel says there had to be one tweak because of ongoing roadwork, so the southbound portion of the parade will be on 4th Avenue instead of 3rd Avenue.
It begins at its usual location at Spadina and 24th Street, heading west on 24th and then turning left onto 4th Avenue and traveling south until 20th Street, then east on 20th and turning left again and heading north on Spadina up to 24th.
The parade starts at 10 and the Saskatoon Ex opens at noon.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
