A group of Humboldt residents representing several community organizations invites the public from in and around Humboldt to an important meeting on a future multipurpose complex for arts, sports and wellness. The Future Community Facilities Open House is slated for Tuesday, May 13 at the Humboldt Uniplex Convention Centre Meeting Rooms. The meeting begins at 7:00 pm.  

May 4-10 has been proclaimed as Emergency Preparedness Week by the Government of Saskatchewan. This year’s theme is “Know Your Risks,” an invitation for everyone to learn about your environment and prepare for actions to protect yourself and property.  

It’s been nearly five decades since the production “Paper Wheat” first saw the stage lights. At the time, the Saskatchewan born musical became a cultural phenomenon, first in its home province, and later right across the country.

For example, in Saskatoon, 99 per cent of the flow from the South Saskatchewan River is coming from Alberta and 80 per cent of that is from the Rockies. Pomeroy states that what happens in the Rockies doesn’t stay in the Rockies. Its flows through our river system.

The Government of Saskatchewan will launch a new funding program this fall aimed at helping schools across the province build or upgrade playground equipment.

Beginning in fall 2025, the province will invest $3.75 million annually into the School Playground Equipment Grant program, which will provide up to $50,000 in matched funding per project.

Spring is in full swing now, and it's not just the weather that is heating up—so is the job market. With the onset of warmer temperatures comes employment opportunities for a considerable number of people in the province. 

In 2024 Saskatchewan averaged 11,000 seasonal workers per month, approximately two per cent of our total workforce. Anne McRorie is the executive director of policy with the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, and she said that the busiest time for seasonal employees will soon begin. 

King Charles will visit Ottawa to deliver the speech from the throne at the end of this month in a show of support for Canadian sovereignty, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.

The news came in his first press conference since leading the Liberals to a fourth straight mandate in Monday's election, where he laid out the priorities for his first few months, promising to "embark on the biggest transformation of our economy since the end of the Second World War."
