Humboldt

My husband, Murray, spent a lot of time on the golf course. He loved playing golf and improving his game, but he also loved to interact with people there and had many conversations that went a lot deeper than how to hit a golf ball.

The Humboldt Broncos will return to home ice as they entertain the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Tuesday night.

Josephine Sindani’s first memory of using a food bank is a happy one. 

She was eight years old and still adjusting to the shock of an Ottawa winter after recently moving from Halifax, where she and her mom arrived in Canada from Sudan about two years earlier. One day she saw her pregnant mother approaching their home, trudging through snow and carrying a “big bag of toys.”

The Bloc Québécois is poised to begin talks with other parties to bring down the minority Liberal government, which has not met its deadline to pass two key bills.

Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet set the deadline last month, putting the Liberals on notice that to avoid an election "before Christmas" they must adopt a pair of private member's bills.

One of the Bloc bills aimed at safeguarding supply management in trade negotiations has the support of the government and is being studied by the Senate.

After months of campaigning and 28 days after the writ was dropped, the results of the 2024 Saskatchewan provincial election are in.  

The Saskatchewan Party will be returning to government with a slightly smaller mandate. When the counting was done Monday night, they were leading in 35 of the 61 seats and captured just slightly more than half of the popular vote. The 35 seats are the fewest captured by the Saskatchewan Party since the 2003 election when they won 28.  

As results from rural areas begin to come in early in the evening, it became evident that in the Humboldt-Watrous constituency, electors had chosen the Sask Party and welcomed a new MLA, Racquel Hilbert. 

Hilbert captured the nomination this summer when long serving MLA, Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Donna Harpauer chose to step down. Before the campaign was official, Hilbert stepped into the candidacy with seeming ease, guided by one of the strongest political mentors one could wish for in Harpauer. 

The newly realigned Kelvington-Wadena constituency left Sask party candidate Chris Beaudry miles to travel to connect with his constituents, but he proved up to the challenge as roughly an hour after the polls closed, the St. Front farmer was declared elected.
