Even though the  Marysburg Royals season came to an end earlier this week, players from the squad will be playing in Regina this weekend in the Men's National Baseball Championships.

Six members of the Royals have joined Team Saskatchewan: Curtis Strueby, Dylan Smith, Brent Puetz, Nick Anderson, Joel Bauml, and Tom Hooker.

Two players are joining the host Regina Trappers squad for weekend in Cole Bauml and Thomas Lessmeister

The National Championships got underway on Wednesday night with the Opening Ceremonies and Home Run Derby.

Team Saskatchewan's Women's Baseball team is 3-0 at the Canada Summer Games in St. John's. 

 It was a pair of convincing wins on Wednesday.  First, they hammered PEI 22-0, scoring 13 runs in the first inning on their way to the win. 

In the second game they beat New Brunswick 12-1.  Camden Suchan scored a run in the win.  

Beginning Wednesday morning, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency started to release the Canadian Armed Forces crew members that have been providing wildfire support.  

SPSA Vice President Steve Roberts says about half or 140 CAF members were released Wednesday, and the rest will be sent home Friday morning. He adds that situation improvement has also allowed Australian crews to return home. The two water bombers from Quebec have done the same. 

Roberts says tremendous progress has been made in the last week and a half when it comes to containing fires.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is meeting in Saskatoon today with Federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald and Cody Blois, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, along with representatives from the canola sector. The focus: responding to China’s steep tariffs on Canadian canola products.

Last week, China announced a 75.8% tariff on Canadian canola seed, adding to the 100% tariffs placed in March on canola meal and oil.

A press conference is scheduled following the discussion. 

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is set to have her first official meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington today amid ongoing tensions in the bilateral relationship.

Anand and Rubio have previously spoken by phone, including in June ahead of the G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc cycled through Washington in July looking for a tariff offramp but instead U.S. President Donald Trump boosted duties on Canada to 35 per cent.

Agriculture Canada modelling expects above average yields for most crops

 Agriculture Canada is predicting solid yields for most crops on the Prairies, based on computer modelling that was done at the end of July.

“At the national level, the CCYF (Canadian Crop Yield Forecaster) model predicts above-average yields per unit area for 11 of the 12 spring-planted crops compared to the average yields of 2020-24,” says an executive summary of the Agriculture Canada predictions, published on a website called Canadian Crop Metrics.

World Humanitarian Day is designated as day to honour people who risk everything to do good.

Being a humanitarian should be the world’s safest job, instead, it has become one of the most dangerous.

From conflict zones to disaster-stricken regions, aid workers face increasing threats, including violence, abduction, and harassment. According to the Aid Worker Security Database, 265 aid workers have died this year so far increasing the likelihood that 2025 will surpass 2024 as the deadliest year on record (383 deaths) for humanitarian workers.
