The results are in from the HCAA Track & Field District Championship held on Tuesday, May 28 at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex in Saskatoon.  

Almost 700 athletes took part in 5 age groups. The combined school finishes as of Tuesday have HCI in top spot with Wynyard Comp taking second and Strasbourg tallying third. 

Ten new marks were established, with Holdfast’s Hailee Woodhouse leading the way with four new records.  

The Government of Saskatchewan was named in a lawsuit revolving around the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash, and lawyers for a group of families are in court to make sure the province remains named in the suit.  

The claim, made by five Broncos families involved in the suit, is that the government knew that the intersection where the crash occurred had sightline problems, but the province failed to do anything about it.  

The human remains discovered on Railway Avenue in Canora have been identified as William Neuman, who was reported missing to Canora RCMP on December 20, 2023.

His family has been notified and victim services made available to them.
