The Humboldt & District Gallery is excited to share the opening of our next exhibit, ᑌᐸᑯᐦᑊ/Tepakohp/7, on Thursday, May 2, 2024.

Parks, Culture and Sport, Minister Laura Ross, proclaimed May as KidSport Month in Saskatchewan. The month-long celebration of the children's charity, which will feature events, fundraisers and celebrations, will begin May 1. 

In his own mirthful and irreverent fashion, SGI manager of media relations Tyler McMurchy lays down some tracks on May’s Traffic Safety Spotlight.  

“In 1998, the Spice Girls released one of their timeless hits “Stop,” containing pearls of wisdom like: ‘Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're goin’! Sure, the Spice Girls weren’t specifically singing about traffic safety, but the advice is still relevant, since 10 per cent of collisions in Saskatchewan involve failure to yield to the driver with the right of way.” 

SaskPower is preparing for a pair of planned outages in the area. 

The first is planned for Wednesday, May 1 from 10:00am to 11:00am affecting customers southeast of Humboldt including 0 Block of Pape Dr.

The second is slated for May 2 10:00am to 1:00pm affecting customers from north of Young to John Folke Rd, east & west of Hwy #2.

SaskPower thanks customers for their cooperation. 

Another monster hit for the Muenster Elks with their annual Steak Supper on Saturday, April 27. The combination of 12 oz strip loin steaks, perfectly roasted potatoes with all manners of toppings, the signature mushrooms, a healthy side of garlic toast and a dessert table that wouldn’t quit were the perfect culinary clarion call to welcome spring.
