Veterans, diplomats, members of the Armed Forces and political leaders gathered Thursday at events across Canada commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.

"Nearly every family knows somebody who suffered from the effect of war," said Fraser McKee, a 100-year-old veteran who helped to lay a wreath at the Toronto ceremony.

"This is to remember people that will have to go to war, as well as remembering those that went and didn’t come back."

The East Central Red Sox AAA 18U squad started the season off on the right foot with a convincing 12-2 win over the Saskatoon Giants. 

Cade Armstrong and Graydn Wilson led the way at the plate, both players picking up a pair of hits and knocking in three runs each.  

Blake Morelli also had two hits for the night.  

A new pope has been elected following the death of Pope Francis. White smoke began billowing from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, signalling the decision by the College of Cardinals.

A large crowd in the thousands erupted into cheers as the words “Habemus Papam” ("We have a pope") rang out in St. Peter's Square, about an hour after the smoke first poured out. The new pope then came out onto the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and greeted the crowd.

The first round of the Western Hockey League’s Prospects Draft unfolded on Wednesday night and Lanigan’s Kash Elke was selected in the first round (18th overall) by the Moose Jaw Warriors. 

This past season, Elke was the captain of the U15 AA Humboldt Broncos, leading the team in goals (33) and in points (66).  

He also played six games with the Tisdale Trojans of the Sask. U18 AAA Hockey League and picked up four points (2G-2A) and appeared in a pair of playoff games. 

The City of Humboldt has proclaimed May 4-10 as Naturopathic Medicine Week to mark the event sponsored by the provincial association.  

Messaging on the Saskatchewan Association of Naturopathic Doctors reveals that Naturopathic Medicine Week was created in 2000 to advocate on behalf of the naturopathic medical profession and to promote the health benefits of the practices to Canadians. 

A new venture for Watson’s Town Council had people gathered inside the Civic Centre visiting, meeting representatives of the town’s clubs and organizations, and sharing a delicious smokie supper.  

The Welcome to Watson BBQ/Meet and Greet was hosted by the Town of Watson, and it gathered many community members and a dozen or so clubs and service agencies, all with members ready and willing to talk about their programming and welcoming new members into the fold.  

With the summer heat blazing, the Humboldt Broncos began the preparation for the 2025-26 season as they held their spring camp on the weekend at the Elgar Petersen Arena.  

Over 130 players attended the camp, travelling as far as British Columbia and the United States as they all try to make an impression on the Broncos coaching and scouting staff.
