Holliston is a primarily residential neighbourhood located in the southeast part of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It includes part of the 8th Street business district. Just over half of its dwellings are single detached houses, with a sizeable minority of duplex or apartment-style multiple unit dwellings. As of 2007, the area is home to 3,412 residents. The neighbourhood is considered a middle-income area, with an average family income of $51,674, and a home ownership rate of 62.8%.[1]
The land where Holliston now exists was annexed in the period between 1911 and 1919. On a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, the land was divided into several parcels, with names such as Nutana Hill, University Homes, Nutana Park and University Park.[2] The area was not actively developed until after World War II, with home construction at its peak from 1946 until 1970. Holliston School was built in 1956.[3] The Edmund Heights low-income property was developed in the 1950s as one of several limited dividend housing projects constructed in Saskatoon.[4]
Holliston exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon—Grasswood. It is currently represented by Kevin Waugh of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 2015.
Provincially, the area is divided by Louise Avenue and Isabella Street into the constituencies of Saskatoon Churchill-Wildwood and Saskatoon Eastview. Saskatoon Churchill-Wildwood is currently represented by Lisa Lambert of the Saskatchewan Party since 2016. Saskatoon Eastview is currently represented by Matt Love of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party since 2020.
In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Holliston lies within ward 6. It is represented by Councillor Cynthia Block, first elected in 2016.

Recently, the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division is talking about building a new Cree bilingual school on the site of the old St. Charles/Sion Middle School to alleviate the congestion at St. Frances School. The old building was demolished in fall 2021 in anticipation of a new facility to be built on the site.[9]
George Ward Pool is a public swimming pool that operates during the summer months.[10] It opened on July 29, 1965[11] and was named after George Ward, a longtime administrator, official and organizer of sport programs in Saskatchewan.[12]

Holliston's northern border is part of the 8th Street business district. 46 home-based businesses exist in the neighbourhood.
Holliston is located within the Nutana Suburban Development Area. It is bounded by 8th Street to the north, Preston Avenue to the east, Isabella and Adelaide Streets to the south, and Wiggins and Cumberland Avenues to the west. Louise Avenue, a collector road, roughly bisects the neighbourhood from north to south. Taylor Street, an arterial road, divides the neighbourhood into a northern two-thirds part and southern one-third part. Streets are laid out in both traditional grid and modern curved patterns. Streets are named after early pioneers from the Saskatoon area.
