If there’s a road that you think is in poor condition, CAA Saskatchewan wants to hear from you. 

Once again, CAA Saskatchewan has launched their Worst Roads Campaign.  

Over the next four weeks, individuals are encouraged to submit their nomination for the that they feel are a safety concern for motorists.  

Between April 8-29, you can nominate and vote for the worst road.  

The Saskatchewan government alongside the Saskatchewan Healthcare Recruitment Agency (SHRA) have launched a digital campaign aimed at recruiting physicians from the United States to consider working in Saskatchewan.

President of the Humboldt Downtown BID Alyssa Hergott says they’re beginning to look for vendors for this year’s event. Soon they will be searching for volunteers and musical entertainment for the summer celebration.  

At the end of the week, the packed mountains of snow should melt into a flowing river, but it might be a good idea to keep the snow shovel handy.

The glitz and glamour you would see on Broadway will be present in Leroy tonight as the Leroy School presents Aladdin Jr.  

A lot of work has gone into the production, says Director Danielle Bilodeau who teaches at Leroy School. She says after a decision was made to go ahead with the performance in September, inside of the PAA (Practical Applied Art) classes, students would spend an hour every second day working on set design, costume design, practicing choreography and music.
