Workplaces will no longer be able to ban poppies after the province tables a bill in the coming weeks.

That's being put into place sometime in the coming weeks after it was a key piece in the province's throne speech last week.

"I would say the industry is doing very well with US exchange, Canadian exchange, or seeing an uptick in our exported products. So prices are very good and netbacks coming out of the field are very good."

With fall well on its way leaves are falling and are likely blocking up people's eavestroughs.

That'll need to be sorted soon, as winter approaches which would freeze those leaves into place.

While that wouldn't be much of a problem during the winter, any debris caught in those eavestroughs during the spring melt could spell trouble for your home.

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan is warning people of rental scams that have been popping up around the province.

In most rental scams, fraudsters have been posing as landlords by targeting prospective renters through fake listings.

The landlord typically doesn't own the property, with photos downloaded from advertisements on legitimate real estate sites.

The fraudster will then ask the renter to sign a fake lease agreement and send payment for the first month of rent and a securtiy deposit.
