Humboldt City Council contended with a discretionary use permit for a new liquor outlet, as it acknowledged that not all residents within its immediate area are happy with the notion. 

At the regular council meeting on Monday, June 23, Council addressed an application for the operation of a liquor store in two eastern most units of Humboldt Commons on 8th Avenue. The immediate business district already houses a vape store, a cannabis store and a hotel with an off-sale liquor outlet. 

The public was invited to a walking visit at the Original Humboldt site just west of the city on Monday, June 23 to see, for the first time, an intricate and evocative large scale metal sculpture created by local artist Tyler Dies.  

The sculpture rests on top of a small knoll at the site as a last tribute to the land, all people who settled on it, and the spirit of Reconciliation that is ongoing in the country.  

Boldt Con, Humboldt’s own comics and related media convention, has remained a popular part of the Humboldt Summer Sizzler. This year promises another great display of Canadian and international comics goodness, along with a cast of pop culture curio creators and the ever-popular cos players with new and stunning characters and getup to marvel at.  

A top federal official said fixing the payroll problems caused by Phoenix cost taxpayers more than $5 billion — and they'll keep paying extra to run two public service payroll platforms at once as Ottawa weans itself off the problem-plagued system.

Alex Benay, associate deputy minister at Public Services and Procurement Canada, said the alternative to running the Phoenix system in tandem with its replacement, Dayforce, would have been worse.

"The unfortunate situation is there's no easy path," he said. "This is the one that's going to impact employees the least."

Saskatchewan's Crown corporations are reporting consolidated net earnings of $510 million for this year, slightly lower than last year.

Among the province's largest money-makers was Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan, bringing in $223 million.

Saskatchewan's big four — SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskEnergy and SGI Canada — raised $291 million before adjustments.

Consolidated net earnings were $578 million last year.

This year, the corporations will pay $240 million in dividends to the province's general revenue fund.

Camps are a popular summer destination for children during the two-month break from school. Big Brothers and Big Sisters (BBBS) Humboldt is offering a camp for kids that will give them a chance to identify with themselves.  

There will be two series of camp I.G.N.I.T.E (Inspire Growth Nourish Imagine Thrive Empower) that will help inspire children from 10-14.  

A survivor of a rockfall last week in Banff National Park is remembering his 33-year-old roommate, who didn't make it out alive from under the rubble, as a kind and generous friend.

Khaled Elgamal says Hamza Benhilal of Surrey, B.C., was one of two people who died after a slab of mountain gave way Thursday, raining rock down on hikers at Bow Glacier Falls, about 200 kilometres northwest of Calgary.
