Carlyle Fire and Rescue has donated $25,000 to Carnduff Fire and Rescue as a thank-you for their support during this year’s northern wildfire response.

Carnduff firefighters Mike Pirie and Randy Spencer joined Carlyle’s team up north for a week, stepping in when Carlyle could not fully staff their unit.

"We were short guys and couldn’t put a full crew together, so Carnduff stepped up and ran our truck for us," said Carlyle Deputy Fire Chief Rob Klassen. "That was the whole reason for the donation."

The Souris Valley Antique Association (SVAA) is preparing for the 59th Annual Heritage Threshing Days in Midale, taking place this long weekend.  

President of the SVAA Glenn McGregor says the weekend will feature events attendees look forward to every year, including the Threshermen’s Parade and live threshing demonstration, with the addition of some new buildings to the Heritage Village as well.  

“We have a few new additions in there this year that we're working on. They're not all going to be ready, but we're definitely working towards getting them there.” 

With profound sadness, we announce the sudden death of Patrick “Pat” James Dean.

Pat was born in Calgary Alberta, on May 10th,1957 and raised in Drayton Valley Alberta. He travelled all over Saskatchewan as an RCMP and would eventually retire in Weyburn Saskatchewan. Pat died on July 20th, 2025, in Kennedy Saskatchewan.

Two suspects were reportedly arrested after a string of incidents in Midale on the weekend. 

In a Crime Watch Advisory issued by the Weyburn RCMP detachment Saturday morning, they advised they had received reports of suspects who were breaking into vehicles and stealing items. It was reported that there were possibly two men and one woman involved. The Advisory stated they had been stranded in Midale as their vehicle was abandoned.  

Summer exhibitions at the Weyburn Art Gallery are still drawing crowds, but work is well underway for the fall exhibition, and the Weyburn Arts Council will be looking at some big events as well. From an immersive new installation at the gallery to a nearly month-long celebration of culture, and a call for artists for one of the most popular events in the winter, the local arts scene is going to be busy for the coming months.  

With scaffolding in place and crews busy at work, a lot is happening outside the Weyburn Courthouse. This isn’t just routine maintenance, however. The work is part of a crucial project to maintain one of Weyburn’s most significant heritage buildings in pristine condition for generations to come.  

Proven Seed is expanding its portfolio with the launch of three new LibertyLink canola hybrids and a cutting-edge TruFlex variety, giving farmers more disease resistance, improved harvest management, and greater flexibility in straight cutting.

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed a request to hear an appeal from Achter Land and Cattle regarding an earlier court decision that found a thumbs-up emoji served as an agreement to a grain contract. South West Terminal launched a claim for damages after Achter Land and Cattle failed to deliver on the contract.

Drivers are reminded that a section of Souris Avenue remains closed this morning due to watermain infrastructure work 

The project extended to the intersection of 4th Street and Souris Avenue last Friday. As a result, Souris Avenue from 4th Street to 5th Street, including both intersections, was closed through the weekend. 

Visitors to the Weyburn Art Gallery this summer can experience two completely different worlds of art, with a showcase of local potters running alongside a powerful exhibition from northern Saskatchewan artists. The combination of "The Great Weyburn Pottery Throwdown" and "Atim Maskikhiy (Dog Medicine)" highlights both local talent and creators from across the province. 

The Atim Maskikhiy exhibit explores the deep and historical relationship between Indigenous peoples and dogs.
