Leaving the province is proving to be a challenge with grounded flights in Regina and Saskatoon. 

Last week, Sunwing announced that due to extenuating circumstances, flights from Saskatoon and Regina airports would be suspended until February 3. 

The suspended flights created a scene of chaos and unanswered questions for those that found themselves at Regina airport on December 27, according to one southwest resident. 

It has been 36 years since the tragic bus crash that took the lives of four young Broncos.

The devastating bus crash will never be forgotten, something that the Swift Current Broncos have helped to ensure, with their annual four Broncos memorial game. 

Broadcast and Community Relations Manager for the Broncos, Craig Beauchemin, said that each year, it is a very important game in their schedule. 

2022 has been filled with memorable and impactful stories.

Freezing rain on Tuesday caused chaos on Saskatchewan highways for much of Tuesday and Wednesday with many highways in the province still not recommended for travel. 

The Saskatchewan RCMP stated that in less than 24 hours, their Operational Communication Centre received 59 reports of motor vehicle collisions and 37 non collision reports related to weather, such as traffic hazards and vehicles in the ditch. 

Due to unsafe and undesirable weather and snow, Canada Post has issued a red delivery service alert for Swift Current.

Effective immediately, the alert means that deliveries for the remainder of the day are being suspended and Canada Post will not be sending delivery agents out or recalling them.

The remainder of Saskatchewan had been issued a yellow alert as a result of the poor conditions.

Yellow alerts signal that delivery drivers will be doing their best to fulfill deliveries, however, there may be delays.
