Brent McAdam is a Senior Planner with the City of Saskatoon. As project manager for the Downtown Zoning Review, he steered the adoption of a new regulatory framework for Downtown surface parking in 2025. As development applications lead in Saskatoon City Centre, he’s been in the room for many, many conversations on parking.
In 2024, Saskatoon and Regina joined many other Canadian communities to remove minimum parking requirements. In discussion with individuals representing different perspectives, what happened next? Inviting conversation from a wide ranging group including elected officials, bylaw regulators, and developers, we discuss the new environment of development without minimum parking requirements; what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and how has the conversation around development, mobility and transportation changed? We will discuss the parking regulations that have changed in Saskatoon recently and open the discussion up to guest speakers and the audience to learn about the impacts of changes to parking regulation over the past couple of years in Saskatchewan.
