Humboldt

It was a light show across the prairie sky last night, and the Humboldt area was near the centre of it all.  

A couple of days of warm and humid weather came to a head with plenty of activity in the sky. 

Environment Canada Meteorologist Crawford Luke says the combination of a low pressure from northern Saskatchewan and another one from Montana and North Dakota created the severe thunderstorm event last night.  

Humboldt’s downtown area will come alive on Saturday as Streetfest fills the day with non-stop entertainment on stage. 

Before the grand finale with the Street Dance in the evening, the Cultural Stage sponsored by the Prairie Gateway Settlement Services will be filled with both local and international performances on stage.

Even though the  Marysburg Royals season came to an end earlier this week, players from the squad will be playing in Regina this weekend in the Men's National Baseball Championships.

Six members of the Royals have joined Team Saskatchewan: Curtis Strueby, Dylan Smith, Brent Puetz, Nick Anderson, Joel Bauml, and Tom Hooker.

Two players are joining the host Regina Trappers squad for weekend in Cole Bauml and Thomas Lessmeister

The National Championships got underway on Wednesday night with the Opening Ceremonies and Home Run Derby.

Team Saskatchewan's Women's Baseball team is 3-0 at the Canada Summer Games in St. John's. 

 It was a pair of convincing wins on Wednesday.  First, they hammered PEI 22-0, scoring 13 runs in the first inning on their way to the win. 

In the second game they beat New Brunswick 12-1.  Camden Suchan scored a run in the win.  

Beginning Wednesday morning, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency started to release the Canadian Armed Forces crew members that have been providing wildfire support.  

SPSA Vice President Steve Roberts says about half or 140 CAF members were released Wednesday, and the rest will be sent home Friday morning. He adds that situation improvement has also allowed Australian crews to return home. The two water bombers from Quebec have done the same. 

Roberts says tremendous progress has been made in the last week and a half when it comes to containing fires.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is meeting in Saskatoon today with Federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald and Cody Blois, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, along with representatives from the canola sector. The focus: responding to China’s steep tariffs on Canadian canola products.

Last week, China announced a 75.8% tariff on Canadian canola seed, adding to the 100% tariffs placed in March on canola meal and oil.
