A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.

"This is a huge area, and there's a whole lot of nothing," said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk. "There's a lot of places people can hide."

Her comments come as police continue to search for 30-year-old Myles Sanderson. Police say he may be injured, is considered dangerous and should not be approached.

With summer behind us, it is time to focus on back to school and safety tips for students and adults alike.

OPP Detachment Commander, Inspector Jeff Duggan offers tips for the first day back.

A fugitive wanted in a deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan has a nearly two-decade-long criminal record and a propensity for violence when intoxicated, a parole board document says.

The Parole Board of Canada document from February says Myles Sanderson told the board that regular use of drugs and hard alcohol would make him "lose (his) mind" and get angry.

“Your criminal history is very concerning, including the use of violence and weapons-related to your index offences, and your history of domestic violence,” said the document obtained by The Canadian Press.

Many of the vegetables we grow in our gardens produce seeds, which, if harvested and stored correctly, have the potential to grace us with free plants. And late summer is the perfect time to start collecting them.

A few notes: Make sure the plants from which you’re collecting seeds are heirloom, or open-pollinated, varieties. These are plants in their original forms whose seeds will produce plants with the same qualities as their parent.

Investigators continued their "relentless" manhunt Monday for two suspects accused in a series of stabbings that left 10 people dead and at least 15 others injured in rural Saskatchewan a day earlier.

The men were still on the lam 24 hours after officials first issued an emergency alert warning residents of the rampage on the James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon, Regina Police Chief Evan Bray said in a video posted to Twitter early Monday morning.

Flags at provincial government buildings in Saskatchewan are at half-mast as the manhunt continues for two suspects in a stabbing rampage on a First Nation and in a nearby village that left 10 people dead and 15 others injured.

An 85-year-old mine in the Kenora area could be reactivated to help supply North America’s electric vehicle industry with nickel and copper.

But it’ll cost them $133 million to revive the mine.

Grand Council Treaty #3 and Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation say they are not in support of storing any used nuclear waste in northwestern Ontario, but they are working with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization in order to protect their territory.

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization has been working to identify a site for a $23 billion deep-geological nuclear waste storage facility that would hold used nuclear waste for 150 years in a 500-metre underground facility since 2010. It would be one of the first of its kind ever created.
