Weyburn

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. 

With less than a year to go until the 2026 World Cup, political tensions and U.S. policy threaten to pose problems as Canada, the United States and Mexico prepare to co-host the tournament.

Next year’s FIFA World Cup will be the biggest ever, with the three countries hosting a record 48 teams. Between June 11 and July 19, they will play 104 matches, most of them in the U.S.

Avery Shenfeld doesn't think the Bank of Canada will cut its benchmark interest rate at its decision on Wednesday, but if it does, he said it will be a "pleasant surprise."

"There's always a chance that they'll surprise with the rate cut," the chief economist of CIBC said.

Most economists are also expecting the Bank of Canada will hold its policy rate steady at 2.75 per cent for a third consecutive decision later this week.

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency's (SPSA) latest update shows that they're now looking for help from national sources to deal with the ongoing wildfires. 

The most recent update detailed that 56 active wildfires are burning in Saskatchewan, 14 of which are contained, 18 are under ongoing assessment, and firefighters are working to protect values in another 18. Four fires are considered contained.

Here's a look at some of the photographs captured by the Discover Weyburn staff and submitted by community members throughout the week:

The Canadian Nurses Association says it hopes the new "united Team Canada" approach at the Council of the Federation will lead to harmonization of nurses' licences across the country.

The association was among a number of health-care advocacy groups at the recent annual meeting of Canada's premiers.

While health care tends to take centre stage when the premiers meet, this year's gathering with Prime Minister Mark Carney was dominated by discussion of U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade war.

Most Canadians believe the country is making good progress on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, a new poll from Leger suggests.

"The extent to which people feel progress on reconciliation is being made or not has an important bearing on how they feel about the country," said Jack Jedwab, president and CEO of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the poll.

The survey of 1,580 respondents was conducted between June 20 and 22. A margin of error cannot be associated to the survey because online polls are not considered to be truly random samples.
