The Saskatchewan Roughriders are in Toronto getting prepared for a 'Friday Night Football' matchup against the 0-2 Argonauts, kickoff set for 5:30 PM.

The Riders haven't lost this season. The first two weeks saw the green and white beat Ottawa in the home opener, and then Hamilton in Week 2 in Saskatchewan's first game on the road this season. Now the Roughriders will be looking to complete the early season eastern sweep this week against the defending champion Argos and move to 3-0.

Kyle RCMP responded to a range of calls across the region between June 12 and 19, including a family dispute, a missing person report and a vehicle collision with a deer.

The 2025 CanAm Bowl taking place July 1 in Rosetown is a great option, a 7:00 PM kickoff under the lights offering a great game on the field, and then a firework finale afterwards to light up the night sky above the field.

Even better, you can get in for free courtesy the set of 10 tickets we have at the station supplied by Rosetown Royals football coach Mitch Wintonyk. Regular admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids ages 6-18, free for any kids under 6 years old.

A potent low-pressure system rolling up from Wyoming is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to parts of west-central Saskatchewan beginning Saturday, with meteorologists warning of localized flooding and wind damage through the weekend.

Forecasters say the system, aided by a deep upper-level trough crossing the Rockies and enhanced moisture from the south, is expected to stall over southern Saskatchewan, unleashing widespread rain and cooler-than-average temperatures. The storm will push eastward through the province overnight Saturday into Sunday.

Rosetown RCMP responded to a range of calls between June 12 and June 19, including threats, theft, break and enter, and a series of traffic complaints across the region.

The week began with officers investigating a report of uttering threats in Elrose on June 12. RCMP spoke with the person involved, and no further action was required. Later that day, members conducted a well-being check in the RM of St. Andrews, again determining no further intervention was needed.

The Swift Current Rural RCMP are asking for help in locating a stolen pick-up truck.
