The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings announced earlier this week their search for a new Assistant Coach is over. Bailey Montieth will be the new Assistant Coach for the Weyburn Red Wings this upcoming year as they look to repeat their successes of last year, making the SJHL finals for the first time since 2012. A Kamloops, B.C. native, Monteith talks about his time growing up and falling in love with the game of hockey. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will be gearing up for a new season shortly, but a few things to take care of beforehand, including their annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, August 13. The Red Wings will take this time to review the great season they had last year, including financial statements, and look ahead to the 2025-2026 year. Ryder Burns, sales and marketing coordinator with the Red Wings, says although this isn’t his first AGM, it will be a new experience but shouldn’t have too many changes. 

With August now underway and summer heading towards its back-half, people will start looking for activities for their kids to do in the fall or winter months. For those with a more creative side, they may undertake activities such as arts, dance, drama, etc. However, the costs of some of these cultural programs can be challenging for families; that’s where Creative Kids Saskatchewan can help. Shawn Bauche, program consultant for Creative Kids Saskatchewan, explains what they’re all about. 

Although the weather in southeast Saskatchewan is rarely co-operative and rain is expected this weekend, that’s not going to stop the Special Olympics Weyburn from hosting a fun day helping kids with intellectual disabilities from trying sports with their first-ever Try It Day since 2019. Tara Meier, youth and health coordinator with Special Olympics, explains the fun happening this weekend.  

Most teenage girls would spend their summer months hanging out with friends, socializing or maybe playing one sport or a hobby. Very few would be spending their time travelling all over Canada playing a variety of sports; however, Weyburn’s Ella Schenher is far from ordinary. Schenher wrapped up the end of July in Calgary for her third and final year of U18 Women’s National Football Championship, quarterbacking the Saskatchewan team.

Due to a rainy forecast, the Weyburn Canoe and Kayak Club's Glow and Row Night has been canceled. Updates will be provided as they become available.

It will be a magical night under the stars with glowsticks on Nickle Lake Regional Park on Saturday, August 9th, as the

Media Relations Director with the WCKC, Lindsay Sterling,  said it’ll be a beautiful night on the water. 

With the calendar month flipping over to August and the sun starting to set a little earlier and rise a little later, people are looking to get as much fun in the sun this summer as possible. It’s been a full summer of fun for those out at Oungre Memorial Regional Park (OMRP).  

Although most people probably aren’t thinking about the hockey season here in July. For the Weyburn Red Wings, hockey and community are always top of mind. As the Red Wings prepare for their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 13th and the start date of the regular season less than two months away, they’re looking to partner up with non-profit organizations here in Weyburn. Ryder Burns, sales and marketing director for the Red Wings, says they’ve had tons of success in the past and want to do more this 2025-2026 season. 

Sixty kilometers south of Weyburn on Highway 35 is the hamlet of Oungre. According to the 2021 Census of Population, the hamlet of Oungre is home to 10 people. However, a lot more than ten people enjoy the amenities of the Oungre Memorial Regional Park (OMRP), located just north of town.  

Two days of fastball action came to a close last night at Tom Laing Park, even if the ending was a bit delayed. Due to rain last night that ended up postponing the matchup on the other diamond between the Weyburn Beavers and the Saskatoon Berries, the final matchup of the 62nd annual Borderline Men's Fastball tournament had to be halted after the first few innings. The Gladmar Braves had the jump on the Weyburn Renegades 3-0 in the championship final before the rain started to fall.
