The Humboldt Good Neighbour Store is celebrating another successful year of giving back to the community. The store, now in its 32nd year of operation, distributed a total of $463,000 to 61 local organizations in 2024, bringing its total donations since its inception to an impressive $5 million. This accomplishment is a reflection of the continued dedication of the store’s volunteers, community donors, and supporters. 

One of the first acts STARS air ambulance service will undertake in the new year is to welcome a new president and CEO. STARS has announced that Dr. John Froh will be stepping into the role of president and CEO of STARS effective Jan. 20, 2025. 

With the holiday season underway, the Saskatchewan RCMP is urging the public to make responsible choices before getting behind the wheel.

Change is a constant in the world of business, and that’s how it’s been at the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce this year. Through it all, the Chamber has been there supporting its members, the board has been fostering innovative programs, and it continues to have its eyes firmly planted on the future.

The Humboldt Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) has had a remarkable year in 2024, successfully promoting local businesses and focusing attention on the downtown core. Among the year’s standout achievements were the return of Street Fest to its pre-pandemic form and a refreshed take on the popular Moonlight Madness event. Both events were met with overwhelmingly positive responses from the community and participants alike.

I want to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year from everyone here at the Saskatchewan NDP Caucus.

No matter how you celebrate this holiday season, I hope you get to spend time with your loved ones and close friends as 2024 comes to an end. 

Like many of you, this is my favourite time of the year.

What makes it special to me are the traditions we build and look forward to every year.

Faith... Hope... Love!

In a world that seems ever more chaotic, these are the things that we should seek... first in ourselves... and in others.

Faith in the people around us... faith that the people we encounter are fundamentally good. 

I know we are all so very busy this holiday season...

But let us all take a minute... and pause to see the good in those that we meet.
