No one was injured following a collision on Wednesday morning between a train and a semi-truck. 

The crash happened just before 7:30 a.m. on Highway 23, at Road 18 East near Dufrost in the RM of DeSalaberry.

RCMP say a semi-truck travelling west on Highway 23 attempted to stop from a train crossing but was not able to do so on time. The driver swerved into a ditch, avoiding a collision with the train. The driver, a 57-year-old male from the RM of Montcalm, was transported to hospital for precautionary measures. 

Farmer Bill Prybylski says China’s planned tariff on canola seed wasn’t factored into his business equations this year.

The president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan says the 75.8 per cent preliminary duty, announced Tuesday, has already caused canola prices to fall by $1 per bushel.

That translates to a loss of about $200,000 for his farm. 

“That’s a pretty significant financial hit,” said Prybylski, who farms northeast of Regina near Yorkton.

It's the second week of Folkorama, and the CHVN Cruiser continues its global exploration and visitation of different cultures.

The Cruiser was at the Polish Pavilion and the Brazilian Pavilion on Wednesday evening at the RBC Convention Centre, 375 York Avenue.

The Polish Pavilion had various dances and costumes from different regions in Poland. The Pavilion taught the audience the deep and rich history behind the patterns of the costumes and their symbolism.

There was also a traditional singing performance in Polish.
