It appears that the 2025 edition of the Summer Sizzler was a smash hit.  

Partnering up with Living Skies in the final weekend of June, it was a big crowd at the Uniplex grounds.  

Around 3,000 people attended the festivities of the Summer Sizzler throughout the weekend, which is an increase from the prior year. The attendance numbers don’t include the spectators at the Living Skies Festival. 

The Humboldt Golf Club is preparing to host one of the most significant amateur golf events in Saskatchewan this summer, as 156 of the province’s top golfers descend on the city from July 15 to 17, with a final playoff round on July 18. 

“This is a really big event for us at HGC,” said Dave Hill, Vice-President of the Humboldt Golf Club. “We’ll have 156 of the best golfers in the province competing in the provincial championships here.” 

It was a close one last night in Muenster, but in the end, the East Central 15U AAA Dodgers edged out the Saskatoon Expos 10-9. 

Sam Jenkins drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh. Jenkins led the Dodgers at the plate with three hits and drove in four runs.  

The Expos opened the scoring in the top of the first inning with three runs. The Dodgers replied with two runs in the bottom of the third inning.  

There’s nothing like a spot of tea on a lovely summer day, especially when you can gather outside.  

St. Peter’s Library welcomes everyone to attend a special Tea Party on Tuesday, July 15 from 2 – 4 pm at St. Peter’s College, 100 College Drive in Muenster.  

If the weather permits, the gathering will be outside Michael Hall. If the weather is less agreeable, the event will move into the library. 

A rash of break and enters has Watrous and Craik RCMP detachments working together, and they are asking for the public’s help.  

On the Morning of July 9, 2025, between the hours of 2:00 am and 4:30 am, the town of Imperial was targeted by a series of break and enters. The thieves targeted garages and vehicles that were left unlocked. The RCMP is asking if anyone has surveillance footage in and around the area of Imperial during the hours when the crimes were committed. 

Saskatchewan’s New Democrats continue to accuse the Sask Party Government of fostering a healthcare environment in rural communities that is “unreliable and dangerous.”

Ottawa says it will work to align its flight security regulations with those in the U.S. after Washington dropped a rule that required passengers to remove their shoes during security screenings.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday that passengers at American airports no longer need to remove their shoes because officials have found other ways to keep travellers safe.

Canada does not require passengers flying domestically or to non-U.S. destinations to take off their shoes for screening, unless a security officer decides it's necessary.
