The BKT World Men’s Curling Championship is a homecoming of sorts for Team Canada lead Ben Hebert. 

Although his team curls out of Alberta, Hebert originally hails from Regina, and in his younger days, you wouldn’t have been surprised to see his face in Moose Jaw curling clubs. 

Former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is urging trade diversification in the face of American uncertainty.

While a lot of focus in the federal election campaign has been on dealings with U.S. President Donald Trump, Wall doesn't know if anyone is really prepared for Trump's approach.

"Either are going to be as able as the other one to deal with the President," Wall said. "It changes every day. I'm not sure if there's anybody including people in the President's own administration who are ready for that kind of volatility and the changes we've seen.

The Saskatchewan Junior Female Hockey League released a pair of All-Star teams for the 2024-25 season last week. A trio of Outlook Ice Hawks made the cut, alongside one Western Prairie Junior Klipper. 

It's no surprise that league leading scorer Haley Braun was on All Star Team 1. Braun had 65 points (42 goals, 23 assists) to lead the league this season as a rookie. 

The Saskatchewan government is investing $156.1 million in the 2025-26 budget to expand its Health Human Resources (HHR) Action Plan, aiming to strengthen the province’s health care system through recruitment, training, incentives, and retention strategies.

To mark Dig Safe Month, the SCGA is hosting 23 free breakfasts across the province, including an event in Rosetown on April 30.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders solidifed a key piece of their trenches on Monday, inking offensive lineman Logan Ferland to a two-year contract extension to keep the Saskatchewan born player in green and white through the 2027 season.

Ferland hasn't missed a game the last two seasons, playing each position of the offensive line as a versatile and consistent piece for the Roughriders. Multiple accolades during the 2024 season helped him earn his first all-star selection, and the West Division nominee for Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman.
