Humboldt

This year's wildfire season in Canada is shaping up to be the second-worst on record and federal officials are warning of a dangerous summer in parts of British Columbia.

Officials with several government departments held a technical briefing Thursday in Ottawa with an update on the state of multiple wildfires and its forecast for the coming months.

Saskatchewan's generosity was on full display Thursday for the Day of Caring radiothon in support of wildfire evacuees. 

The Canadian Red Cross reported receiving $643,156.30 by 5:50 p.m., with donations still flowing in and being accepted until Monday, when the final total will be revealed. The federal government's matching portion will then be added to the total.

Nutrien Ag Solutions matched donations up to $100,000 during the morning portion, and by the end of the day, up its support to $300,000.

It was the middle of the day, but the stars were still shining in Humboldt as the Futuristic Industries All-Star Choir and Ray Whitton performed outside of the Museum on 6th Avenue during lunch hour on Thursday.  

Along with the music, the sweet summertime scent of burgers on the grill helped draw a crowd for the Humboldt & District Museum’s concert and BBQ. 

Financial support for wildfire evacuees in Saskatchewan is flowing in for the Saskatchewan Day of Caring radiothon.

The Canadian Red Cross reported at 11:50 a.m. that they have collected $222,879.50 in donations from the radiothon to aid those impacted by the wildfires across the province. This total includes a $100,000 matching sponsor from Nutrien Ag and a $25,000 donation from Saskatoon Co-op.

The federal government is matching all donations from the radiothon, but this is not included in the total raised.

Physiological Leaf Spot is suspected in a number of winter wheat fields in Southern Alberta.

Physiological leaf spot (PLS) appears as round or oval lesions that may be yellow or bleached white to gray in color. Lesions may also have a dark center with a narrow chlorotic (yellow) halos and tend to be more numerous toward the tip of the leaf blade. PLS lesions are often found in the upper canopy, and missing or rare on lower leaves.

Three Factors Favoring Physiological Leaf Spot (PLS):

The Canadian citizen believed to be on an Air India flight that crashed shortly after takeoff is a dentist from Mississauga, Ont., her family has confirmed.

The husband of Nirali Sureshkumar Patel said she was on board the London-bound flight that crashed Thursday, killing at least 240 people.

Patel's dental clinic referred The Canadian Press to the husband, who said that he was in the process of booking travel to India for himself and the couple's one-year-old child.

The East Central 15U AAA Dodgers emerged victorious Wednesday night with a 4-1 win over the Saskatoon Brewers.

History, artistry and the natural world combine at the Original Humboldt site with the latest upcoming event. 

“Original Humboldt is 80 acres of grass trails that lead through the natural landscape to sculptures and storyboards that share the history of First Nations, Métis and settler people in this region,” says City of Humboldt Cultural Services Director Jennifer Fitzpatrick.
