With the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) beginning a work-to-rule on Monday, June 10, the Horizon School Division is asking for the community for volunteers to support with noon hour supervision.  

With the vision of the Humboldt Broncos Memorial continuing to evolve, the committee have made slight alterations to its membership. 

A motion was passed at the recent City Council meeting on May 27, that will see two positions changed from members of the Public Arts Commitee to a pair of members at large. 

The paths for a trio of Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) Mohawk football players are about to branch off. Last month they enjoyed one final experience as teammates as members of the North squad in Football Saskatchewan’s Senior Bowl.    

Easton Ottmann (running back), Matt Schuett (defensive line), and Mason Bunko (offensive line) were the three representatives from Humboldt that took part in the annual All-Star game.      

SaskPower has announced there will be a planned power outage in Manitou Beach for Thursday, June 6 Between 8:00 am until 4:00 pm 

This outage will affect customers east of Albert Street. 

SaskPower thanks customers for their cooperation and understanding. 

Beginning today, 4th Avenue will be closed between 10th Street and 14th Street to allow for road improvements.

The first phase of the project involves rebuilding and regrading the road. The work is expected to last for about three weeks.

Additional road closures will follow shortly after to install new curbing and paving the of 4th Avenue between 10th Street and 14th Street.  

A few steps will go a long way this weekend.   

The St. Mary’s Villa Foundation will hold its second annual ‘Build A Home’ Walk on Sunday, beginning with the walk at 11:00, involving residents, family members, and friends.   

Executive Director Donna Muench says the walk began to raise funds for equipment for a new long-term care home.   

The 50th anniversary was a special one for Carlton Trail College.   

Last week, the year-long festivities ended with the unveiling of a pair of new additions, a mural, and a metal structure from two artists that will help create a unique impression for years to come.  

The mural called “Empowerment Ring” was designed by Kayla Hanson. Meanwhile, the metal structure was created by Murray Cook, a long-time welding instructor. A time capsule was also incorporated into the metal structure.   

The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation announced negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement will resume on Wednesday.  

An invitation was extended by the Teachers Bargaining Committee (TBC) was accepted by the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee. 

The TBC extended the invitation following the teachers rejected a tentative provincial collective agreement last week.  

The Humboldt Broncos made a trade on the weekend, picking up 2004-born forward Gabriel Filion from the Estevan Bruins in exchange for a player development fee.  

Filion collected 23 points (9G-14A) in 52 games last season. He was acquired by Estevan midway through the 2022-23 campaign and ended up with 19 points (11G-8A) in 30 games for the Bruins.  

The Northern Lights Movement for Kids 111 km Challenge is back for another year.    

During June, participants are encouraged to move by land or water, such as walking, running, biking, canoeing, kayaking, or swimming, to accumulate 111 km within 30 days.

You can participate as an individual, as part of a group, or by donating.
