The last weekend of March will serve as the final days for the local senior hockey leagues.  

Fresh off winning the Senior ‘C’ Provincials last weekend in Wilkie, the Foam Lake Flyers will resume the Long Lake Hockey League Championship finals tonight against the Drake Canucks. 

The Water Security Agency is warning residents about thin ice conditions in the province.  

Spring runoff will start to materialize with warmer temperatures, and the WSA is cautioning everyone to be safe around Saskatchewan rivers, lakes and other bodies of water.  

Ice does not melt at a uniform pace and its strength can vary from one area to the next.  

With warm weather hopefully around the corner, many outdoor activities will soon commence. It will also mark the beginning of digging season. 

The Saskatchewan Common Ground Alliance (SCGA) will be hosting free breakfasts for construction workers and those involved in digging projects within the community to help raise awareness about the potential dangers that exist when digging into underground utilities.  

*Update* 

Some roads in the area this morning are closed with most reporting travel not recommended.

If you have an update you can text us when safe to do so. 306-682-0107
