Spring is when Saskatchewan’s wildlife is most active near our province’s roadways, and while we are on the tail end of the busy season, we’re not out of the woods yet. 

The province has seen just shy of 3,000 incidents involving vehicles and wildlife—2,930 to be exact—in the past three months and each year, SGI reports that there are an average of 400 injuries and at least one fatality in the province due to wildlife collisions.

Several days of clear sky and high temperatures are in the forecast in the southeast, and with the weekend on the horizon, there's no doubt that we are all going to get our fair share of sunshine.

Dr. Jasmine Hasselback, chair of Sun Smart Saskatchewan, sheds some light on the questions people have when the UV index soars.

The May Long Weekend will be here in no time, and odds are that you’re looking to get out of town and see the sights, perhaps do a little camping, or just take a nice long drive. 

Your bags are packed, the destination has been chosen, and everything seems to be in order; there’s just one thing to consider: how much is the drive going to cost? 

It’s no secret that hunting, trapping and sport shooting are part of our country’s heritage, as Canada itself is a nation carved out of the wilderness. This is especially true out west, and in Saskatchewan itself, as hunters and trappers were among the first Europeans to make contact with the First Nations peoples in the region and ultimately explore the province and beyond. 

Spring is in full swing now, and it's not just the weather that is heating up—so is the job market. With the onset of warmer temperatures comes employment opportunities for a considerable number of people in the province. 

In 2024 Saskatchewan averaged 11,000 seasonal workers per month, approximately two per cent of our total workforce. Anne McRorie is the executive director of policy with the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, and she said that the busiest time for seasonal employees will soon begin. 

“Canadians have spoken, and I would take this opportunity to congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney on his election win. Canadians have provided him and your party and your government a new mandate,” Premier Scott Moe said during his post-election press conference yesterday.

Reports of measles are swirling across the province, with warnings of possible exposure coming out of Swift Current, and most recently, two locations last week in Regina. 

The Government of Saskatchewan has confirmed six such cases in the province as of April 10, 2025, and while that raises concern for many, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate the risk to you and your loved ones.
