Welcome spring with a homemade macrame wreath on your front door!

On Wednesday, April 9, Karen Ehry will be teaching us how to make a macrame wreath using a half square knot. Finish your homemade wreath with a little floral embellishment!

Spring thaw brings about the resumption of a busy excavating season for farmers, contractors, developers and a host of infrastructure providers. That’s a big part of the inertia for a series of breakfast gatherings across the province hosted by the Saskatchewan Common Ground Alliance (SCGA).

According to Canadian Foodgrains Bank, nearly 25 million people in Sudan are facing acute hunger since the outbreak of civil war in April 2023. That makes up more than half the population. As many as 640,000 people are already experiencing famine-like conditions in five identified areas.

Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are set to hear a verdict today in the joint trial over their roles in the mass protest against pandemic health measures that rolled into Ottawa more than three years ago.

Their trial wrapped up in September after hearing 45 days of evidence and legal arguments.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will address reporters shortly after the White House declared both Canada and Mexico exempt from new reciprocal tariffs announced today by U.S. President Donald Trump.

A fact sheet from Trump's office says goods imported under the existing continental trade deal, known as CUSMA, will not face tariffs, while those outside the deal will see a 10 per cent tariff.

Canada was left off a lengthy list Trump unveiled this afternoon showing the tariff levels most other countries will face starting Thursday.

Winter has held on long enough, so get ready for a spring sized warm up coming next week courtesy of a big Pacific airflow. That’s the latest from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
