Roll your way into some fun this Fall by joining Weyburn’s Youth Bowling Club (YBC). Recently announced, the YBC are firing up a youth bowling league and an adult bowling league, keeping the lanes running with excitement into the back half of 2025. Leslie Walliser, program coordinator with the YBC, says it’s a great opportunity to strike up some enjoyment. 

This weekend, Oungre Memorial Regional Park (OMRP) roughly 35 minutes south of Weyburn on Highway 35 will be full of activity as their hosting their annual Halloween in the Park, their Halloween-themed four-person Adult Golf Tournament, and a two-person Youth Golf Tournament.  

The Halloween in the Park will take place later on tonight running from 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm. Trick or treaters will dress up in their favourite costumes and head around the park, trying to fill up their bucket or even a pillowcase.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings held their AGM last night in the conference room at the Ramada by Wyndham, reflecting on last years success and planning for the upcoming year. The meeting started off with Mayor Jeff Richards providing opening remarks, including a review of last years minutes and an overview of the agenda.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings announced earlier this week their search for a new Assistant Coach is over. Bailey Montieth will be the new Assistant Coach for the Weyburn Red Wings this upcoming year as they look to repeat their successes of last year, making the SJHL finals for the first time since 2012. A Kamloops, B.C. native, Monteith talks about his time growing up and falling in love with the game of hockey. 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will be gearing up for a new season shortly, but a few things to take care of beforehand, including their annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, August 13. The Red Wings will take this time to review the great season they had last year, including financial statements, and look ahead to the 2025-2026 year. Ryder Burns, sales and marketing coordinator with the Red Wings, says although this isn’t his first AGM, it will be a new experience but shouldn’t have too many changes. 

With August now underway and summer heading towards its back-half, people will start looking for activities for their kids to do in the fall or winter months. For those with a more creative side, they may undertake activities such as arts, dance, drama, etc. However, the costs of some of these cultural programs can be challenging for families; that’s where Creative Kids Saskatchewan can help. Shawn Bauche, program consultant for Creative Kids Saskatchewan, explains what they’re all about. 

Although the weather in southeast Saskatchewan is rarely co-operative and rain is expected this weekend, that’s not going to stop the Special Olympics Weyburn from hosting a fun day helping kids with intellectual disabilities from trying sports with their first-ever Try It Day since 2019. Tara Meier, youth and health coordinator with Special Olympics, explains the fun happening this weekend.  

Most teenage girls would spend their summer months hanging out with friends, socializing or maybe playing one sport or a hobby. Very few would be spending their time travelling all over Canada playing a variety of sports; however, Weyburn’s Ella Schenher is far from ordinary. Schenher wrapped up the end of July in Calgary for her third and final year of U18 Women’s National Football Championship, quarterbacking the Saskatchewan team.

Due to a rainy forecast, the Weyburn Canoe and Kayak Club's Glow and Row Night has been canceled. Updates will be provided as they become available.

It will be a magical night under the stars with glowsticks on Nickle Lake Regional Park on Saturday, August 9th, as the

Media Relations Director with the WCKC, Lindsay Sterling,  said it’ll be a beautiful night on the water. 

With the calendar month flipping over to August and the sun starting to set a little earlier and rise a little later, people are looking to get as much fun in the sun this summer as possible. It’s been a full summer of fun for those out at Oungre Memorial Regional Park (OMRP).
