Canada's premiers are heading into to a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saskatoon Monday armed with their wish lists for major "nation-building" projects that could buttress the economy in the face of a U.S. trade war.

Carney asked the premiers to each pass on five suggestions for national infrastructure projects, and Monday's meeting will aim to identify the ones that will make the final cut to be fast tracked using legislation Ottawa may introduce as early as this week.

Canada Post has rejected a request from the union representing about 55,000 of its workers to send their ongoing labour dispute to binding arbitration.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers made the request in a statement Saturday, saying it was inviting Canada Post to a fair, final and binding arbitration process to resolve negotiations that have dragged on for months without producing a new collective agreement. 

This summer is shaping up to be a hot one that could be even hotter if wildfires continue to spread throughout the province. The Weather Network recently released its summer forecast, with Saskatchewan not being spared from the incoming heat.

Matthew Grinter, a meteorologist with The Weather Network, talks about what they're seeing for the province.

Spring is when Saskatchewan’s wildlife is most active near our province’s roadways, and while we are on the tail end of the busy season, we’re not out of the woods yet. 

The province has seen just shy of 3,000 incidents involving vehicles and wildlife—2,930 to be exact—in the past three months and each year, SGI reports that there are an average of 400 injuries and at least one fatality in the province due to wildlife collisions.

As Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argues the government's plan to speed up key infrastructure projects doesn't go far enough, some Indigenous leaders are accusing Ottawa of not giving them enough time to weigh in.

The government is developing a bill to fast-track what it calls nation-building projects with a streamlined regulatory approval process as a substitute for reviews under the Impact Assessment Act, also known as C-69.

While the federal government and cities across Canada are making strides on expanding the housing supply, the provinces still need to get serious about building quality homes, a new report released Thursday argues.

No province earned a grade higher than C+ in the report assembled by the Task Force for Housing and Climate, a non-governmental body that was struck in 2023 with backing from the philanthropic Clean Economy Fund.

The task force's "report card" evaluated governments based on their policies for building homes quickly and sustainably.

Country artist Aaron Goodvin is getting ready to take the stage at the Living Skies Music Festival in Humboldt.

He is bringing with him a deep passion for performance, a powerful personal story, and a brand-new EP that’s as heartfelt as it is honest.

Goodvin reflected on his musical journey.

“I would be doing this no matter what level I was at. You know, I just feel like music is a part of my life. I'm so grateful that I've been able to make a career.”

Last week, the provincial government, in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, announced the launch of a new Young Entrepreneur Bursary program, which will provide bursaries of up to $5,000 to 57 young entrepreneurs across the province.
