 AgraCity - a generic crop input supplier - sending out an important notice yesterday to its clients thanking them for their patience while they work through their operational restructuring after experiencing cash flow problems.

Members of the Weyburn Police Service last week charged four people for breaching their release conditions in separate incidents.

Deputy Chief Shane St. John explained it's one of the jobs of police officers to watch community members who are on conditions.

"Sometimes they're caught out past a curfew or caught with someone maybe they shouldn't be with, and no other criminal activity had occurred," he noted. "Or it's they're with the co-accused, people they were in trouble with. [They] can't be in a place you can buy alcohol or drugs, like a weed shop or the bar."

The City of Weyburn's Fire Pit Bylaw requires anyone using a fire pit in their yard to have a permit from City Hall. However, there are also a few safety rules to keep in mind to ensure only happy memories are made during fire pit season.

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Wolk said the fire pit should be placed far enough away from anything combustible in your yard, such as your trees, your fence, or your house. 

A lawyer for one of two leaders of the Freedom Convoy facing sentencing told an Ottawa court Wednesday her client should not be left with a criminal record.

Crown prosecutor Siobhain Wetscher said Wednesday she is seeking stiff sentences for convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber because of the broad community harm caused by the three-week 2022 protest in Ottawa's downtown core.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrapped three days of meetings with his fellow premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday with a message he admitted he wouldn't have sent over the past decade.

"We can be proud of the work our federal government is doing, in fairness," Moe said.

Moe has been one of the federal Liberal government's most vocal critics in recent years — and criticism of Ottawa is usually guaranteed when provincial leaders gather.
