We took our final delivery of the seeding season out to Elizabeth Walkeden and her family with our Great Plains Ford Seed N Feed! They were able to enjoy a delicious Boston Pizza lunch in great spirits beside having seeding halted with the rain!  

The Walkeden family farms out near Tribune and have made great progress with seeding before being stopped, with Elizabeth saying, “Well, we've been stopped for a week now, but we were getting close to done, maybe two or three days left. So, we were getting close.” 

Seeding has ground to a halt for pretty much every farmer in Saskatchewan with the rain over the last week, and the Van De Sype family is no different. Despite the rain delay, we were able to brighten up their day with some delicious Boston Pizza thanks to our Great Plains Ford Seed N Feed!

Steven Van De Sype and his family farm out near the Radville area. They're very close to the end of the seeding season, stating that they're "Only 2 or 3 days left, if it ever stops raining!" 

With spring in full effect in Weyburn and the ice out of Crescent Point Place, not too much goes on for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings. They’re looking to change that and keep the spirit of sport going with their first ever Pickleball tournament at the end of the month.  

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports around, thanks to its accessibility for all ages and minimal equipment requirements. Ryder Burns, sales and marketing director for the Red Wings, comments on the reasoning behind the brand-new tournament. 

Rain or shine, farmers are always on the grind! We were able to take some delicious Boston Pizza out to Jesse Watson and his family with our Great Plains Ford Feed N Seed! 

Watson and his family are working hard in the field seeding canola out near Yellow Grass trying to beat the rain and possibly snow incoming this May long weekend. They farm roughly 9000 acres of durum, canola, and red lentils. 

Southeast College has been busy over the last few weeks, informing those interested in the college and providing information on the courses they offer. They held their 50th anniversary career fair and open house at the end of April and are getting ready for an information night later this month. 

The 2025 Weybex Awards took place at McKenna Hall on Friday night, celebrating the businesses that impact the community of Weyburn. Hosted by the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce, they handed out six different awards throughout a variety of categories, ranging from a New or Expanding Business Award for the young businesses all the way to the Business Hall of Fame recognizing those who've pioneered business in Weyburn. Monica Osborn, executive director with the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce, comments on the fantastic night. 

Today, we took Classroom of the Month presented by Canadian Tire to Mrs. Gilmore's class over at St. Michael's School!

They were tons of fun to hang out with as we were able to treat them to a pizza party thanks to Boston Pizza and some goodies thanks to our friends at Old Fashioned Foods, Stranger Danger Candy Co. and Edge Safety and Supply!

Check out the video below and nominate your class for their chance to win our next Canadian Tire Classroom of the Month!
