There are four candidates running in the Batoche constituency in the upcoming provincial election on Monday, October 28.  

Erin Nicole Spencer is the Sask United Party candidate in Batoche.  

Along with her husband and two children, her family resides in Warman after she grew up in Prince Albert.  

The leaves may be falling now, but the daytime temperatures won't be dropping for the next few days. 

We are expecting above normal high temperatures throughout the week. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist Danielle Desjardins explains the warm October trend will continue. 

“We got an upper ridge that is bringing in some unseasonably warm air to most of Saskatchewan but especially to the southern and central parts of the province.” 

For the second straight week, Humboldt Broncos Jacob Strizzi has been named the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) Bourgault Forward of the Week. 

Strizzi is currently on a six-game scoring streak after he found the back of the net in all three Broncos games this past week, including four goals in the back-to-back matchups with the Battlefords North Stars. He ended the week with eight points (5G-3A).  

Another week of high school football is in the books, with some teams now preparing for important playoff games while others have some have one more week of regular season action.  

For the first time since 2021, the Canadian Football League (CFL) playoffs will return to Saskatchewan. The only question that remains is whether it will be the Western Semi-Final or the Western Final.  

The Saskatchewan Roughriders secured the home playoff game with a dominating 39-8 win over the BC Lions in what could shape up to be a playoff preview. 

It was a perfect night weather wise in Watrous for football and it turned out to be a perfect evening on the scoreboard for the Watrous Wildcats as they defeated the Assiniboia Rockets 54-12 in six-man high school football action. 

With the victory, the Wildcats moved into second place in the conference standings and above the .500 mark (3-2).  

The civic election is coming up on Wednesday, November 13. 

There will be ten candidates on the ballot for councillor in Humboldt including Sarah McInnis.  

She is the Executive Director of the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce, currently on a leave of absence.  

The Humboldt Broncos will try shake off a loss earlier this week to the Estevan Bruins as they renew acquaintances with a Nutrien Division rival in the Battlefords North Stars. 

On Friday, the two teams will meet in North Battleford for the first time in the 2024-25 regular season and will face off on Saturday night for a rematch at the Elgar Petersen Arena.  

The Humboldt Broncos three-game point streak was snapped on Wednesday night thanks to a 5-3 loss against the Estevan Bruins.  

It was a tough start for the Broncos that left them trailing 3-0 after the first 20 minutes. Estevan capitalized on a delay game penalty from Humboldt’s Karson Kerbes after he shot the puck into the stands within his own zone. Hayden Pimm scored on the extra-man advantage to give the Bruins the early lead.  

The regular season is beginning to wind for high school football leagues in the area, with playoffs just around the corner.  

In Thursday’s action, the Watrous Wildcats will welcome in the Assiniboia Rockets. The two teams are tied for second spot in the standings at 2-2.  

This will be the second time Watrous and Assiniboia will meet this season, with the Wildcats earning a 77-46 road win against the Rockets back on September 6.
