Lanigan’s Kayden Stroeder has been selected to represent Team Saskatchewan at the 2024 WHL Cup in Red Deer next month.  

The WHL Cup features the best 2009-born hockey players in western Canada, with teams from Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia, giving the players to showcase their skills in front of scouts.  

Rainfall over the last week caused some farmers a slight delay in harvest activity, but it's a welcome sight for areas that have been fairly dry.

Crop Extension Specialist Tyce Masich says it's not ideal to see rain in the middle of harvest, but the moisture has been a relief for dry areas.

Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty presented the King Charles III Coronation Medals to worthy individuals, including a pair of well-known local recipients, Reverend Al Hingley of Humboldt and Lanigan’s Brad Wilderman.  

Hingley is a retired United Church minister and tireless volunteer with various community organizations, not the least of which is the Legion Museum in downtown Humboldt. His passion for history has made him an invaluable resource in aspects of both local and national history.  

There’s still time to get in one more car bingo before the snow flies.  

Head to the Uniplex parking lot on Friday night for the Humboldt Broncos Car Bingo. The gate opens at 5:30 pm with the games starting at 6:15 sharp.  

The first 100 people out will receive a ticket to the home opener game on Saturday night against the Notre Dame Hounds. The 2024/2025 Bronco squad will be on hand for a meet and greet leading up to their big opening night of the regular season.  

At the start of a new term for the Four Winds Learning Centre in Punnichy, students and staff gathered for a celebration and traditional learnings revolving around a central feature of traditional indigenous life – the tipi. 

On Wednesday morning, September 18, everyone gathered under the ornate mural in the commons area of the Centre to listen to the teachings of Elder Ed Bitternose. The intent had been to erect a tipi on the grounds while Ed shared his knowledge, but a rainy morning put the construction on hold. 

Week 3 of high school football across the region gets underway on Thursday.  

In a game that you can listen to Bolt FM, Wakaw will host Shellbrook.  

Wakaw has started strong in 2024, picking up a pair of wins in their first two games with a pair of convincing wins. Shellbrook is 0-2, but were involved in a pair of close games, losing to Creighton by two, and were defeated by Hague by seven points.
