Saskatchewan’s Opposition NDP expressed its concerns over the Sask Party government’s budget which dropped Wednesday afternoon. NDP Leader Carla Beck called the budget shortsighted and not meeting the province’s current challenges. 

“Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are asleep at the wheel,” said Carla Beck, Saskatchewan NDP Leader. “They can’t just close their eyes and hope our problems magically go away.  

The reactions continue from the Provincial Budget released by the Saskatchewan Government on Wednesday.  

Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) President Samantha Becotte said in a news release that the budget is a step in the direction towards investment in education.  

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) announced the winners of the regular season awards on Wednesday.  

The big winner was Flin Flon Bombers Goalie Matthew Kieper who was named the SJHL Most Valuable Player and the Goalie of the Year.  

Kieper ended the season with a 23-2-1-1 record with a 1.80 GAA and a .935 SV%/.  

The road less traveled may be unconventional, yet it has the potential to lead to the most sought-after destinations. 

For Dayne Beuker, the path to a career in hockey is a long winding one, that’s drawing closer to glory.  

After learning how to skate overseas in Germany, Beuker began his hockey career in Humboldt and progressed through the Humboldt Minor Hockey program.  

Saskatchewan’s government says it will ride a strong economy to a projected razor-thin surplus in next year’s budget, but turbulent headwinds of tariffs could ultimately blow a billion-dollar hole in the spending plan.

Finance Minister Jim Reiter tabled the 2025-26 budget on Wednesday. It projects a $12-million surplus this fiscal year and even larger surpluses in the years that follow.

However, it doesn't put aside money to offset potential massive losses, as Canada fights an ongoing trade war with the United States and faces one with China starting this week.

The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed March 16 - 22, 2025, as Agricultural Safety Week, emphasizing the importance of protecting agricultural workers and strengthening safety practices across the province. 

Saskatchewan is set to table its budget today outlining the province's plans to boost spending on health care, education and crime reduction. 

Premier Scott Moe has said increased investment in those areas is meant to reduce surgical wait times, improve Grade 3 reading levels and make communities safer. 

Moe has also pledged to freeze the education property tax while providing more money to municipalities. 

This is the Saskatchewan Party government's first budget since Moe was re-elected premier last fall.

A generation of elders that made its way on farms and towns solely with horse drawn power has all but vanished. That transition to motorized travel is the focus of the latest exhibit at the Humboldt and District Museum.  

Exit the Horse: The Early Years of Canadian Motoring is a travelling exhibit that has motored on over to Humboldt from the Canadian Automotive Museum thanks to funding from the Government of Canada.
