While the Weyburn Kin Club was in attendance for TeleMiracle 49 earlier this month, they are already raising funds for TeleMiracle 50, being held in 2026.

Club member Adrian Prybylski said they're doing this with their 4th annual Grillin' 'n Chillin' Raffle. 

Candidates are looking to get their names out there as the federal election is underway, with one new party popping up in the southeast.

Lyndon Dayman, the candidate for the Canadian Future Party, is a retired heavy equipment operator and small business owner, and is currently an Emergency Management Officer for the area around Kipling.

He was also active with the Conservative Party of Canada on their board of directors before making the switch to the Canadian Future Party, feeling that the party had lost touch with their grassroots membership.

Weyburn and the surrounding area could see some April showers this weekend. However, it could be a little more than just showers by the time the system moves past the region.  

Stephen Berg, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, says a weather system moving into the region beginning Saturday night is expected to bring a much-needed boost to moisture levels. 

An ever-popular yearly event will be taking place this Saturday at the Weyburn Agricultural Society’s Exhibition Hall.  

“It’s the annual Fred Garner Memorial Banquet and fundraising event,” explained Dale Paslawski with the Weyburn Wildlife Federation. The banquet, which is more commonly known for the presentation of awards for the largest deer of the season, or the biggest fish, among other things, is also a social event.  

The Souris-Moose Mountain Conservative Candidate, Steven Bonk held a meet and greet event Thursday evening at the Weyburn Travelodge.

Card-carrying party member Jay Stewart said he's not sure who else is running since this is the most conservative riding in the country.

"He's probably gonna get 75 to 80 percent of the popular vote in this riding. It doesn't matter. Wish we could take about 8,000 of our votes and put them in Ontario, but that's not how the election works."

Melissa Dawn White, late of Weyburn, SK passed away on April 9, 2025 at the age of 49 years.

She was predeceased by her father, Philip Kradovill; maternal grandparents, Cedric and
Margaret Thompson; paternal grandparents, Malcolm and Dagny Kradovill and Clifford
and Phyllis McLennan.

The big event is coming up tomorrow night at the Weyburn Legion for the Soo Line Boxing Club as they celebrate 75 years in the community.

"It starts at 6 p.m. and the doors are open at 5. There will be pre-show sparring also around 5:30 if you want to come out and check out that it's just guys that are coming to spar because they don't have a bout, so we have people that will be available to get in there with them and do some work and get some experience," Head Coach Clint Ducharme said. 

Weyburn will have strong representation at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) Convention, which gets underway in Saskatoon on Sunday. Running through to Wednesday, the annual event brings together municipal leaders from across the province to network, learn, and advocate for their communities — and for first-time attendee Councillor Kellie Sidloski, it’s a highly anticipated opportunity. 

The City of Weyburn Accessibility Committee is launching a survey early next week, a crucial part of the development of a community Accessibility Plan.

In early February, Weyburn City Council approved the development and implementation of an accessibility plan. This is part of the provincial standard set in the Accessible Saskatchewan Act, requiring public sector bodies to create accessibility plans by December 3, 2025..
