With the looming threats of tariffs from the United States, the Saskatchewan NDP have begun an interactive campaign focusing on the local economy. 

Carla Beck was in Saskatoon on Wednesday to launch the “Shop Local Shop Sask” campaign.  

With the injuries beginning to pile up recently, the Humboldt Broncos are limping towards the finish line of the regular season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). The good news is that the team could potentially cross a major checkpoint as soon as tonight. 

The Town of Wynyard recently announced their intention to build a new aquatic facility in the community. 

Last year, a major leak in the paddling pool forced the closure of the facility during the summer. After consulting with technicians, the town was told it would cost a minimum of $50,000 and that no crew would be available to work on the repairs until 2026. Following the repairs, a new liner would cost approximately $ 40,000.  

The Saskatchewan Government has introduced their latest measures to combat illicit fentanyl and methamphetamine production, transportation, trafficking and street use within the province.  

In a news release, the provincial government says these measures will provide tools to remove fentanyl and methamphetamine in communities along with prevention of street-level use to protect all residents.

Humboldt RCMP located Yeo at residence in Humboldt on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old will be making an appearance in Melfort Provincial Court tomorrow (February 27).

Melfort RCMP is asking the public’s assistance on the whereabouts of 30-year-old Tyrell Yeo.  

Just before the start of Saturday night’s Humboldt Broncos game, forward Brayden Skogstad was named the team’s RBC Community Ambassador.  

Players selected as RBC Community Ambassadors are recognized for making a difference and giving back to the community that they live in. Along with the honour, a $1,000 donation will be made to a school in the community. 

With the possibility of tariffs imposed by the United States becoming closer to a reality, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will lead a delegation of businesses and organizations to Washington D.C. The delegation will be meeting with business leaders and decision makers of the U.S. 

The delegation will include representatives from Cameco, Evraz, Arizona Lithium, Cenovus, Whitecap Resources, Enbridge, North American Helium and the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. 

Provincials 

It was a strong start for the Leroy Braves in Provincial ‘A’ action on Sunday as they beat the Kyle Elks 7-3 to take a 1-0 lead in the best of three series. The series will move back to Leroy this weekend. Game two is Saturday night in Leroy. If a game three is needed, it will be on Sunday afternoon in Leroy. 

With an eye towards the future, the Humboldt Broncos announced the commitment of 2007-born forward Kayson Christian for the upcoming 2025-26 season.  

The Lethbridge AB product is currently in his third season Lethbridge Hurricanes U18 AAA program where he serves as the team’s captain and has 41 points (18G-23A) in 36 games.  

Listed at 6’0 and 170 lbs, Christian has been playing U18 AAA since he was 15.  

One of the top rivalries in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) is back on the ice tonight as the Humboldt Broncos head to Melfort to meet the Mustangs.  

The teams will finish off their season series tomorrow in Humboldt.  

Melfort is the lone SJHL squad the Broncos have been unable to register a victory against this season. The Mustangs swept the previous home-and-home set back in December.
