Carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent, deadly gas that can seep into homes without warning. With no colour, smell, or taste, it poses a constant threat, especially during winter when heating systems are in full use. By taking simple precautions, you can keep your family safe from this invisible hazard.

CO is produced by devices like hot water heaters and furnaces that burn natural gas. Redvers Fire Chief Brad Hutton reminds homeowners to keep vents clear, as snowbanks can block air intake and exhaust.

Three games. 

That's how long it's been since the Eagle Sky Estevan Bruins posted a win, with the last one being against their Highway 39 rival Weyburn Red Wings. This weekend, the boys will look to turn things around as they get set for a home-and-home stretch against the Melville Millionaires. 

This weekend on the Canadian Country Showcase, we’re bringing you even more holiday cheer with festive music from our special guests!

We’ll also catch up with Zach McPhee, who’s putting his spin on "Merry Christmas Baby."

Plus, we’ll take a trip back to this week in 2021 to celebrate a chart-topping #1 hit from Jade Eagleson and Dean Brody.

Temperatures in the southeast are swinging like a pendulum as we approach the official first day of winter on December 21st. Last weekend saw highs of up to plus seven while last night’s low neared minus 30. Now Saturday is expected to bring warmer temperatures again, meteorologist Danielle Desjardins with Environment Canada says the back-and-forth temperatures bring physical and psychological effects.  

Federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon says he is "calling a timeout" in the Canada Post strike, and asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to send about 55,000 employees back to work.

Mackinnon says the Crown corporation and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are at an impasse after a nearly month-long work stoppage, and negotiations are actually going in the wrong direction.

He says if the board agrees the two sides are at an impasse, it has been asked to order union members to return to work until May.

Canada has told the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal it can't say when it will work through a backlog of some 140,000 cases related to First Nations child services.

That has led to a prominent child welfare advocate and First Nations leaders in Manitoba warning about an escalating crisis caused by Canada's inaction.

With Christmas just around the corner and decorations going up, it’s crucial to keep safety in mind. Brad Hutton, fire chief of Redvers, is reminding residents to follow key safety tips for trees, lights, and decorations to ensure a safe and festive holiday season.
