Name That Tune today was classic 90's and early 2000's.

Leanne was our contestant today and she played it safe. 

Listen to our conversation below. 

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.

With the August long weekend signifying the midpoint of summer, many residents in Saskatchewan will be hitting the road over the next few days, visiting lakes, golf courses and other summer destinations in the province.  

Regardless of what vehicle you’re operating this weekend, SGI is reminding the public whether it be of a boat, an ATV, an e-scooter or a golf cart—ensure you’re sober. Being impaired and driving is a potentially deadly combination.  

Dry conditions in the Humboldt region allowed producers to make significant progress with haying this week, while cooler temperatures provided some relief for flowering crops. However, with a stretch of heat looming, producers are hoping for rain soon to support crop yields, encourage hayland regrowth, and improve pastures for livestock. 

A disturbing trend has been escalating on rural roads in the province. 

Saskatchewan RCMP officers responded to 77 fatal collisions that resulted in 88 deaths last year. 

Injuries resulting from collisions also increased as there were 271 collisions involving serious injuries in 2024, up 43 per cent from the previous year. These collisions resulted in 321 people seriously injured, up 48 per cent from the previous year. 

The town of Bruno once again sets out to prove that big things come in cherry-sized packages as it hosts its much-loved Bruno Cherry Sunday on August 10. The annual event draws visitors from across the Prairies for a day of sweet indulgence, vibrant entertainment, and heartfelt community spirit. 

If you walk along Main Street’s west walkway, just south of 6th Avenue, you will encounter a colourful and interesting object nestled in the doorway to a small business complex. Anyone familiar with the concept of a “Little Library,” the birdhouse shaped condominium for books that neighbourhood walkers can take and replace with a new one, might mistake this little domicile. 

It’s Humboldt’s first “Little Art Gallery,” where art aficionados can pick out a tiny art curio and leave one in its place.

Unionized workers at Canada Post are entering their final day to vote on the Crown corporation's latest contract offer.

Voting is set to wrap up today at 5 p.m., with results expected to be shared shortly after.

The offer includes wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years but also adds part-time workers that Canada Post has said are necessary to keep the postal service afloat.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has urged the roughly 55,000 postal service workers it represents to reject the proposal.

Canada was hit with 35 per cent tariffs on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on his threat to increase the duties if Ottawa didn't make a trade deal.

The White House has said the tariffs would not affect goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, commonly known as CUSMA.

Prime Minister Mark Carney had tempered expectations of an agreement by Friday, saying Ottawa will only agree to a deal "if there's one on the table that is in the best interests of Canadians."

In an effort to protect properties in high-risk flood zones, the government is changing the flood risk evaluations. The provincial government announced on July 31, 2025, they are adopting a one-in-200-year flood standard which aligns with the regulations of ‘The Planning and Development Act of 2007’.

This alignment is to ensure Saskatchewan communities can build and grow in a sustainable way especially where flood risk is high.
