Another edition of the Summer Reading Club with the Reid Thompson Library ended on Thursday. 

 To celebrate, there was a petting zoo set up inside Civic Park, giving the children a chance to interact up close with a variety of animals including a llama, goats, bunnies, turkeys, chickens, and much more.  

Librarian Crystal Clarke was happy with the participation over the last two months.  

The passion for wakeboarding has been with Braden Stumborg for over 25 years and now the excitement for the sport has been passed on to his 15-year-old son Hunter. 

This past weekend, both Braden and Hunter competed at nationals in Saskatoon. 

Braden finished second in his age category while Hunter had an impressive showing at Saskatoon finishing 7th as he competed mostly against experienced 18-year-olds.   

Saskatchewan (5-4-1) will try and snap their four-game winless skid when they head to Toronto to meet the Argonauts (5-4). 

Last week, the Roughriders suffered a heartbreaking 27-24 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. In his first game back from a six-game absence, QB Trevor Harris had 355 passing yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. For his efforts, Harris was named to the CFL’s Week 11 Honour Roll, earning the top grade (93.9) from Pro Football Focus.  

It has been over a month since Brayden Klimosko was named the new Head Coach and General Manager of the Humboldt Broncos, but the feeling still hasn’t sunk in quite yet for the local product. 

With training camp set to open next weekend, a whirlwind summer will soon end for Klimosko, one that has found himself back in the place where he grew up.

The Humboldt Broncos have added a veteran presence in their crease.

Today, the green and gold announced the signing of 2004-born goaltender Edouard Gauthier.

Just because summer is winding down, that doesn't mean the weather is doing the same. 

Thunderstorm activity transpired throughout Saskatchewan on Monday night, with the east central section affected by heavy winds.  

Some of the wind damage included a tree falling on a power line near Fishing Lake.
