U of S and City partner in street banner project
Starting this week, the University of Saskatchewan and the City of Saskatoon
are raising street banners on all street lights along College Drive between
Clarence and Preston Avenues.
The key words on the banners emphasize the university's adherence to
international standards in all it activities - excellence, vision,
leadership, and innovation - and feature well-known U of S buildings: CLS,
Innovation Place, the College Building, and the Thorvaldson Building.
University President Peter MacKinnon said: "These brightly colored banners
will contribute to the nationally recognized beauty of Saskatoon while also
emphasizing the major economic, social and cultural role the University of
Saskatchewan plays in the city."
Mayor Jim Maddin said: "These banners will help to promote the University,
the City of Saskatoon, and the mutually beneficial relationship we have
shared for nearly 100 years."
This partnership between the University and the City will see the banners
changed every year, culminating in 2007, the University's Centennial.
