The question is no longer if the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation will take job action, but when. Last Friday, the results from the vote by the members of the STF were announced - 90 percent of the members cast a ballot, and 95 percent of those were in favour of sanctions. 

The Central Cyclones managed to put the first points on the board in the Rural South Football League championship game Saturday afternoon, but the Weyburn Comprehensive School Eagles would be the ones soaring by the end of the game, winning 28-8. The win is the third consecutive league title for the Eagles. 

Eagles quarterback Conner Kerr went 8-for-13 through the air, throwing three touchdowns, including a 95-yard strike to Nolan Uhren in the first quarter. Isaiah Sanderson also had two touchdown receptions, including a 42-yard reception and a five-yard major. 

"Yes, the number of fatal collisions increased exponentially in recent weeks, and yes, we are concerned."

Those words are from the officer in charge of the Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services, Superintendent Grant St. Germaine, as the RCMP reported 22 fatal collisions in their jurisdiction from September 1st to October 25th. This averaged out to a fatal collision every 2.5 days. In the time period from January 1st to August 31st - eight months - there were 36 fatal collisions. 

With hunting season underway in Saskatchewan, a study is also underway looking at what happens after the hunt.

The members of the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation overwhelmingly support job sanctions. In a vote held this week, 95 percent of teachers voted in favour of the sanctions, which will be left to the executive of the STF to determine what those will look like, and when they will take effect.
