As we head into the first week of August, the northern wildfires are showing no signs of slowing down in Saskatchewan.  

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) issued an update on the wildfires on Tuesday. 

In Loving Memory of
Vernon Scott

Age: 63 Years 

Of: Quill Lake, SK

Passed Away: Tuesday, July 29, 2025

Vern was an adored husband who will be loved and deeply missed forever.

He was an adored and greatly loved son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great uncle, godfather, cat and dog uncle, and we can’t forget that he was an “All star grain cart driver.”

There has been no sophomore jinx with the Saskatoon Berries in the Western Canadian Baseball League in 2025. 

This past weekend, the Berries completed the regular season establishing a new record for regular season, finishing off with a 46-9 record. Saskatoon finished 12 games ahead of Medicine Hat to claim the Eastern Division. 

A trio of local players were on the Berries roster this past season. 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders earned their bye week on Saturday after a dominating 34-6 win over the Montreal Alouettes.  

Fresh off being named the top player in the Canadian Football League in the month of July, quarterback Trevor Harris had an impressive outing with a pair of touchdown passes with 289 yards and was over 70 per cent in passing attempts going 19/27.

On August 4, 2025, Canora RCMP received a report of a missing 82-year-old male, Roland “Rollie” Wilcox.

A group of intrepid travelers spent Saskatchewan Day exploring some of the province’s hidden gems — though they didn’t know they were heading to Saskatchewan until the moment they arrived at the airport. 

A slow-moving weather system is making its way across central and southern Saskatchewan this week, bringing with it the potential for significant rainfall and thunderstorms, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. 

Luke Crawford, a meteorologist with the federal agency, said the system is progressing slowly eastward, which could lead to prolonged periods of heavy rain in affected areas.

There was no provincial glory for a couple of local teams in this past weekend's provincial runs, but there was a strong season ending showing for one. For the other, more challenges await with their league finals this coming weekend.  

In provincial baseball action this past weekend, a trio of rock-solid wins for the East Central 15U AAA Dodgers set them in position for a Sunday showdown with the Yorkton Cardinals at the Tier 2 Championship tournament in Regina.
