The man who was charged in the death of an RCMP officer in 2021 has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.  

Alphonse Stanley Traverse, a 43-year-old originally from Winnipeg, was originally charged with manslaughter in the death of Constable Shelby Patton in Wolseley in June of 2021.

The specimen had been collected during a BioBlitz near Grassland National Park in 2013 but was cataloged and confirmed as being the rare species this summer.

As technology changes and advances, it will oftentimes be incorporated into the classrooms. The advent of computers, and the access to them, has grown leaps and bounds in the past 40 years. Smartphones have revolutionized ways in which classroom materials can be delivered, or even how assignments can be submitted.  

With autumn officially starting on Saturday, the temperatures in the southeast so far this month have been decidedly un-autumn-like. The average daytime high for the month has been nearly five degrees warmer than the 30-year average.  

With El Nino, the weather phenomenon known for causing milder than average winters in the prairies, starting earlier than normal this year, there were many wondering if it would have an earlier impact on the weather for southeast Saskatchewan.  

Saskatchewan residents could be seeing a bit of a break on their SaskEnergy bills starting next month. The provincial government has approved a rate decrease request from SaskEnergy.  

The decrease, which will take effect on October 1st, will see the commodity rate for natural gas go from $4.20 per gigajoule to $3.20 per gigajoule, a 24.5 percent decrease. There will be a slight increase, though, in the delivery service rate, as it will be increasing by five percent.
