As 2024 draws to an end, the town of Bruno has reflected on its accomplishments, celebrating strong community spirit and continued growth in recreational and civic projects. With the leadership of the town council and the dedication of local volunteers, the town has seen numerous events and developments that brought residents together and strengthened its services.

Welcome to February 2024, where we were still in the grips of winter, but there was no snow slow down on the news front. Enjoy a look back at the best of the month. 

The Humboldt and District Food Bank is experiencing an uptick in demand, as recent statistics show a significant rise in the number of individuals relying on its services. From January to October of this year, the food bank saw an increase of 22 households, representing 91 people, a trend that has taken staff by surprise. 

RCMP and Humboldt First responders attended a collision incident at 12:30 pm yesterday on Highway 5, approximately 2 km west of Muenster. 

A semi-truck and two vehicles were involved in a collision that shut down the highway for a period of time. Fire crews attended to deal with a blaze at the site. Traffic was diverted via grid roads through Muenster while the Highway was cleared. 

One occupant was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.

As 2024 comes to a close, the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation (HDHF) is looking back on a year of significant advancements and strategic planning aimed at improving healthcare services for the community. 

"2024 has been a strategic planning year for us," said Executive Director Lorrie Bunko. "We need to work with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and managers on site to determine the needs of the facility. From now, for about a three-year span, because that then helps us plan and budget accordingly." 

Welcome to the first entry in our Top Stories of 2024 as we look back at the events covered in Discover Humboldt through the month of January. 

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Humboldt has experienced a year of change, with new personnel and the continuation of its vital programs. Despite the shifts, the organization has stayed committed to its mission of supporting youth, while introducing exciting new initiatives. 

Arts Humboldt (AH!), an organization dedicated to promoting the performing arts in Humboldt and surrounding areas, had a somewhat quieter year in 2024, but President Brian Grest remains optimistic about the future. 

As AH! works to fully recover from the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Grest noted that 2024 served as a year of rebuilding. However, the organization still managed to bring several key events to the community.
