The Town of Lampman is issuing a boil water advisory for residents which will last for an undetermined amount of time.

Teresa Biller, the town administrator, says the order is precautionary due to some recent issues.

"We've had some issues with our water treatment plant. So as a result, we have a precautionary drinking water advisory in effect from now until it is cancelled and residents will know when it is cancelled."

National Farmers Union (NFU) president Jenn Pfenning says Canadian farmers need greater support for domestic food production as uncertainty over tariffs continues to disrupt trade. 

"We in Canada have focused a lot of our efforts in agriculture around export markets. Successive governments have pushed Canadian farmers to scale up to meet export demand, largely outside our borders." 

That focus, she says, has increased reliance on imported food, leaving the country vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.

Pat King, one of the organizers of the 2022 convoy protest in Ottawa, is set to be sentenced in an Ottawa courtroom today.

Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland found King guilty on five counts in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order.

King was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police.

The Crown is seeking a sentence of 10 years for King — the maximum penalty. 

Delays at Toronto's Pearson airport may continue today as investigators work to determine what caused Monday's fiery crash landing of a Delta Air Lines plane with 80 people on board. 

Investigators with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Tuesday they've recovered the plane's black box and sent it off for analysis, but it's too soon to say what led to the crash.

Airport authorities said the wreckage of the aircraft was expected to remain on the runway for about 48 hours until the investigators finish their work. 

Cattle producers are seeing a strong 2025 in what could be a good year to see prices rise and cattle herds repopulate following years of harsh conditions.

That was the focus of a recent look that Farm Credit Canada took for the cattle industry in Canada and what it has to contend with in 2025.

Leigh Anderson, a senior economist with the FCC, talks about his optimism for the industry for the year.

The southeast continue to be mired in a cold snap, with temperatures dropping as low as -39° without the wind, and feeling even colder than that when factoring in the windchill. While many may want to stay indoors as much as possible, for those who do need to venture outdoors dressing properly is recommended.

If you were on the fence about grabbing a fishing license in 2025, perhaps the recent ‘Free Fishing Weekend’ changed your mind. Having had a taste of what Saskatchewan’s fishing is like, those looking to continue their angling adventures this year should be aware that licenses expire this year on March 31st as the current season comes to a close. 

Fisheries Biologist, Mitchell Thorarinson, says that it is rather simple to acquire a license of your own, and they can be purchased both online and in-person. 

After extreme cold has buffeted the southeast we'll see a return to very unseasonable warmth over the next few days.

Conditions will still be cold on Wednesday, and potentially record-breaking, but after that we're likely to see a warming system move in.
