As spring turns into summer in Saskatchewan, it’s becoming increasingly common for residents to spot young animals alone in nature. But despite their apparent vulnerability, the best thing people can do is keep their distance, according to Conservation Officer Ted Glass. 

“The real short answer is just to leave it alone,” said Glass. “There’s reasons why that animal is there, and very likely mum has put that animal there and told her kid to stay there. Don’t move. And they’ll be back.” 

Seeding is nearly three-quarters complete, with producers across the province reporting 72 per cent of crops in the ground, according to the latest crop report from the Ministry of Agriculture. 

That marks an increase of 23 per cent from the previous week. However, progress was slowed by rain in the southern and eastern regions of the province. 

Seeding remains well ahead of the five-year average of 60 per cent and the 10-year average of 64 per cent.

It's time for the best from the best on Facebook Friday.

We'll start with this one, "How my wife apologizes: I'm sorry for the mean, hurtful, accurate things I said."

I like this, "Forget about the past. You can't change it. Forget about the future. You can't predict it. And, forget about the present. I didn't get you one."

Here's a thought, "Your ex asking you to still be friends after you break up is like kidnappers asking you to stay in touch after they let you go."

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to even-up the NHL's Western Conference final tonight in Dallas with the Stars up one-game-to-none.

The Florida Panthers took a two-games-to-none lead in the Eastern Conference final with a 5-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night. 

Canada's OUT of the World Men's Hockey Championship. Denmark came from behind to beat Canada 2-1 yesterday in quarter-final action. The Danes tied it up in the final minutes and scored the winner with just 49 seconds left.

With the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) set to go on strike Friday, the potential loss of mailing services could put a financial squeeze on local businesses that rely on affordable shipping. 

Postal workers initially walked off the job on Nov. 15, 2024, before suspending job action on Dec. 17. The union has now signalled plans to resume strike activity on Friday. 

Kimberly Lewis, owner of Seven Stones by Kimberly in Moose Jaw, said the timing of the initial strike was devastating for her business. 

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) is planning a busy Opening Reception next Friday, May 30th, at 5:30 p.m., including opening two new exhibitions, introducing its first Indigenous Artist-in-Residence, plus two artists who will work out of new studio spaces for a five-month period, and participating in PRIDE Week.
