A significant winter storm that swept through Saskatchewan on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, has caused major disruptions to the print delivery service of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix.
Delivery Efforts Continue Despite Challenges
The newspaper has announced that crews are working diligently to complete home delivery and single-copy delivery to the best of their abilities despite the severe weather conditions. The storm, which blanketed Saskatoon in heavy snow, created hazardous driving conditions visible in scenes from downtown, such as on 1st Avenue North.
Subscribers in rural areas should expect to receive their copies of the newspaper on Friday, December 19, as delivery teams navigate the challenging aftermath of the storm.
Digital Access Remains Uninterrupted
For readers unable to receive their physical paper, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix reminds subscribers that full digital access is available. An electronic replica of the print edition, the ePaper, can be accessed by clicking the 'ePaper' link near the top of the newspaper's website.
Furthermore, the publication encourages readers to subscribe to its Afternoon Headlines newsletter for daily updates on vital news. With some online platforms restricting access to local journalism, the StarPhoenix website and its newsletters are highlighted as essential, up-to-the-minute sources for the community.
Staying Informed During Severe Weather
This service disruption underscores the impact of extreme weather on daily operations and the importance of having reliable digital news sources. The Saskatoon StarPhoenix is committed to keeping its audience informed through all available channels while its print distribution network recovers from the winter blast.
