Environment and Climate Change Canada data show that temperatures in the province last month trended towards the cooler side. 

“The further north you went, the cooler it was with respect to average temperature,” explained Terri Lang, meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.  

In the north, Key Lake reported a mean temperature of 10.5 degrees. That’s 2.8 degrees colder than normal, marking their coldest June in 48 years.  

July is statistically the month with the highest number of impaired driving deaths in Saskatchewan. 

SGI is reminding residents to find a safe ride this summer, whether that be calling a friend or family member, getting a taxi, or staying the night at someone’s house.

The previous job sanction mandate expires on June 30, 2024.

Did you miss the filing deadline for your personal taxes? 

Most Canadians should have filed their taxes with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by midnight on April 30. 

An exception to the deadline does exist for those who are self-employed or who have a spouse or common law partner who is self-employed, who have until June 17, though they still have to have paid any balance owing by April 30.  

Teachers will be voting on the offer given by the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC) on May 8 and May 9. 

Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) President, Samantha Becotte, held a press conference this morning, saying that the GTBC referred to the offer as a “final offer” many times during two days of negotiations.
