We are into a very important two days for emergency care in the province.

The Saskatchewan Critical Care on the Air Radiothon for STARS runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday across many radio stations in Saskatchewan, including Golden West's.

You can tune in to hear stories from people impacted by the air-rescue service, perspectives from staff, and messages from supporters.

STARS flew over 1,000 missions from their Saskatoon and Regina bases during the 2021-22 fiscal year. You can find the breakdown of locations here:

Winter Storm Warnings continue Tuesday across the Red River Valley and Southeastern Manitoba ahead of the arrival of a significant late season Colorado Low that will bring 15 to 25 cm of heavy snow, strong winds and blowing snow to the region.

Four people who are alive thanks largely to STARS are sharing their stories so others will also have access to that same level of emergency care, if it's needed.

The Saskatchewan Critical Care on the Air Radiothon for STARS runs Tuesday and Wednesday, with Golden West Radio stations across the province taking part.

It was a slippery start to the Monday morning commute with only some students and staff returning from Spring break.

The Trans-Canada highway was closed from Austin to Saskatchewan and a small piece of Highway 2 in Western Manitoba was also shut down. Both roads have since reopened. Despite the fact traffic is moving again in those areas, many schools decided to extend spring break by a day and closed up shop for the safety of staff and students. Pine Creek, Prairie Rose, and Beautiful Plains divisions closed all schools for the day.

Updated Monday, April 3rd at 4:45 p.m. - Environment Canada has upgraded the severe weather alert for much of Southern Manitoba to a Winter Storm Warning. Late Monday afternoon the upgraded alert was issued for the Red River Valley and all of Southeastern Manitoba including the Morden, Carman, Winkler, Altona, Emerson, Morris, Vita and Sprague regions.

A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for the Killarney, Pilot Mound and Manitou areas.

Updated at 5:45 p.m. Sunday, April 2nd - Stormy, and feeling very much like winter weather, is on the forecast agenda for the next three of four days.

UPDATE: 1:00 PM Friday, March 31, 2023

As a result of continued investigation by Rosetown RCMP into the report of a threat directed at Rosetown Central High School, a youth was arrested on March 30th and charged with two counts Uttering Threats, contrary to Section 264.1(1)(a) of the Criminal Code. The youth is scheduled to appear in court on May 5, 2023, in Rosetown. The youth cannot be named or identified in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy is doing a series of discussions on Governing Sustainable Municipalities, and 'A Sustainable Future' will be the topic during Thursday's presentation at the Credit Union Sparks Centre in Weyburn.

The school's executive-in-residence, Dan Florizone, said municipalities are essential in working toward a sustainable future.

Spring is here, and thousands of students are not on their way to school this morning, and won't be this week. There will be a lot of families traveling this week, and it seems every year there’s some sort of storm over Spring Break. Is that in the weather cards for 2023?

CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner agrees with that sentiment, that there always seems to be some sort of storm over that final week of March.

Your input on living in a community equipped for the effects of climate change is what a Saskatchewan grad school professor is hoping to tap into next week in Swift Current.

The Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy's Governing Sustainable Municipalities project is running presentations in four Saskatchewan communities.
