The remaining $1 million will be distributed to the food banks next month to agencies based on the population and average food bank usage of the communities they serve.   

Team Saskatchewan held their official kickoff on Monday with the announcement of all the athletes that will be competing in the upcoming Canada Summer Games in St. John’s Newfoundland.

Get set for a special up close and personal concert experience with Saskatchewan’s own guitar virtuoso Jack Semple. Semple will be performing a solo show on Stage at the Little Manitou Art Gallery this Saturday, August 2 as a benefit for the Gallery.  

“It’s a wonderful gallery,” Semple notes. “It’s a seasonal business, so in the summertime there are customers, but in the winter, not as many. I just love all the artwork there, so I want to support it.” 

The curtain has come down on the 2025 season for the East Centra 18U AAA Red Sox as they bowed out of the provincial championship tournament on Saturday.
