Hello, I'm Agnes!

I'm an older girl at 11 years old. I'm a very sweet and loving girl, and just love to get all the pets I can!

I deserve a nice retirement home at my age, don't you think? My only request is that it is a quiet home, with no cats!

If you're interested in meeting me, give the shelter a call or stop by to say hi!

The lead singer and formative member of the Saskatoon rock group, ‘League of Wolves’, explained that after the pandemic hit, he took the opportunity to redirect his passion back into his solo music career.

The government of Saskatchewan recently announced that for the second year in a row, monthly benefits for seniors in the province will be increasing. 

The maximum monthly payment, provided through the Seniors Income Plan (SIP), will increase by 30 dollars a month. 

Social Services Minister, Gene Makowsky, said that the increase will allow for a substantial number of seniors in the province to better afford the cost of living. 

The Saskatchewan prairies are a gold mine for farmers, accounting for more than 40 per cent of Canada's cultivated farmland.  

With such a high portion of the province working in the farming industry, it is essential that support be readily and easily available for farmers in need.
