The most notable incident in the report had to do with a situation involving two adults, that resulted in a pair of assault charges. 

"A 31-year-old female and male have both been charged with assault on each other and placed on conditions of no contact to try and dilute their toxic issues. Both will once again appear in Biggar Provincial court on Nov 5th."

Early harvested crops are seeing strong results, but overall progress is lagging behind notably with the 10 per cent mark well behind the five-year average of 43 per cent and 10-year average of 34 per cent.
