Humboldt

The fate of Humboldt’s airport (aka aerodrome) was up for debate at the regular meeting of Humboldt City Council on Monday, May 28.  

In a brief prepared for council, the City’s Public Works Director Peter Bergquist notes that prioritizing funding to sustain public operation of the aerodrome has been a challenge over the last decade. The current condition demands an infusion of dollars to bring it up to expected standards for public use.  

The Liberals have won their fourth mandate this time under the leadership of leader Mark Carney.

When Mark Carney formed government as Canada's 24th Prime Minister on March 14, 2025, he selected 34-year-old Kody Blois from the Kings-Hants riding in Nova Scotia as the Federal Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Rural Economic Development.

Blois is heading back to Parliament after winning his riding last night. Expectations are that Carney could keep him in that role, but that will be determined when he announces his new cabinet in the days ahead.

Consultant and speaker Eddie Lemoine delivered an eye opening and inspirational address to the Humboldt and area business community at this year’s Mark of Excellence Awards on Friday, April 25. Lemoine was hosted by the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce at the annual event. 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not have a seat in the next Parliament, after a stunning upset by Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in the riding of Carleton. 

Poilievre's loss raises a host of questions about his ability to continue with the Conservative party leadership, and the role he will play as the House of Commons reconvenes. 

In his concession speech on election night, Poilievre pledged that Conservatives will "do our constitutional duty of holding government to account and proposing better alternatives." 

Fraser Tolmie has been re-elected as the member of Parliament for Moose Jaw–Lake Centre–Lanigan in a decisive victory.

This will be Tolmie’s second term as an MP, and he will be joined in Ottawa by 12 other Conservative MPs from Saskatchewan.

Following his re-election, Tolmie spoke with Discover Moose Jaw and thanked the four other candidates he ran against.

“It’s a courageous step. They have a value system and a belief system that’s important to them and they want to be heard,” said Tolmie, acknowledging that campaigning can be challenging at times.

Incumbent Kelly Block, running for the Conservative Party in Carlton Trail – Eagle Creek scored another decisive victory on Monday night garnering 77.6 percent of the vote in her riding as of Tuesday morning.  

Block and her campaign workers, supporters and family gathered in Saskatoon at a watch event with her Saskatoon riding colleagues. 

During the winter months, skating and curling rinks are the hubs of activity in Saskatchewan. 

To help ensure these facilities remain up to standard, the Community Rink Affordability Grant, which is administrated by the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) is available to communities.  

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to unite the country and govern for all after Canadians handed the Liberals a fourth consecutive mandate in Monday's federal election.

"Who is ready," he shouted to cheers and applause and people chanting his name in a crowded hockey arena in Ottawa in the wee hours of the morning. "Who is ready? Who is ready to stand up for Canada with me? And who is ready to build Canada strong?"

Prime Minister Mark Carney will lead a minority government after a very close general election race that left the Liberals just three seats shy of a majority. 

Just before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Elections Canada showed the Liberals projected to win 169 ridings after flipping one riding in Quebec from the Bloc Québécois earlier in the day. 

The Conservatives won 144 seats and will form the official Opposition again. The Bloc Québécois followed with 22 seats, the NDP with seven projected seats and the Green Party with one seat.

Jagmeet Singh says he will step down as the leader of the NDP as soon as a new interim leader is chosen.

Singh conceded defeat in his British Columbia riding of Burnaby Central and the party is at risk of losing official party status.

With the NDP at risk of losing official party status — and after losing his own riding — Singh said he'd be stepping down as leader once the party selects an interim replacement.

"We may lose sometimes and those losses hurt," Singh said, fighting emotion as he stood beside his wife on a stage in Burnaby, B.C.
