During a special meeting scheduled for Wednesday morning, City Council will discuss whether to call on the premier and health minister to introduce limits on gathering sizes in the Saskatoon area.
City administration is asking Mayor Charlie Clark to write a letter on behalf of council to ask for a limit of 15 people at private gatherings in Saskatoon, including household gatherings.
The Saskatoon area is the province's COVID-19 hotspot, with more than 1,167 active cases as of Tuesday's provincial update.
Administration is also recommending a limit of 150 people at bingo halls, event centres, theatres, casinos, art galleries, libraries and recreational facilities or one-third of current capacity, whichever is less.
Under the proposal, similar limits would be in place for public and private indoor gatherings and public outdoor gatherings.
