Construction season is well underway in Saskatchewan, and that means drivers need to be on alert as they encounter these zones on both highways and city streets.

This week the province is recognizing National AccessAbility Week in Saskatchewan alongside other provinces across Canada.

It runs from May 28 until June 3.

In a release, the province said the week recognizes the leadership, impact, and voices of Canadians living with disabilities, and is an opportunity to highlight the work being done to remove barriers for people with disabilities and foster a more inclusive country.

An exciting new project is underway at the Regina Airport.

The Regina Airport Authority announced Monday that it has started a major airfield revitalization project worth $26 million. Construction has started and will continue until September.

The airport said the main runway will be closed as it's worked on, while the secondary runway will remain operational.

Last week, Grade 10 students from Arcola School attended the Soaring Conference in Edmonton, which focused on youth empowerment through an Indigenous lens.

"It's to encourage our Indigenous youth to finish their education, and then all of the opportunities that they have available to them," said the students' teacher Jacquie Walbaum, who teaches Grade 7-12 at Arcola School. "Basically financial options and courses, and just to get them excited about their future."

Walbaum said many of the students gained new interests from the experience.

Saskatchewan RCMP are highlighting Missing Persons Week in the province this week, which runs May 1-7.

The week is "organized by the Saskatchewan Missing Persons Partnership, a group that includes Indigenous groups, police, the provincial government and community agencies from across the province," reads a release from the RCMP.

"Its goal is to raise awareness about missing persons, and to promote services and supports available to families of missing persons in Saskatchewan."

Twenty-one new infrastructure projects are coming to Saskatchewan, thanks to joint funding from the provincial and federal governments.

“The investments we are making will improve the quality of life of residents across Saskatchewan,” said Dominic LeBlanc, the federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities. "We will continue working with our partners to invest in community infrastructure and build a better future for all Saskatchewanians."

The provincial government is warning investors of an online entity known as Atomic Trade Limited.

"Saskatchewan residents who are considering retail and DIY investment opportunities should make sure that they are dealing with legitimate entities by checking their registration status," Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority Executive Director Dean Murrison said. "It only takes a few minutes to confirm that an investment seller is appropriately registered, and it can prevent someone from falling victim to illegitimate operators."

Regina International Airport is anticipating a hectic Easter holiday weekend and spring break as people try to get away for one last family visit or vacation before the summer season arrives.

Justin Reves, the manager of customer experience and marketing with the airport, said he expects the busy trend from Christmas and Family Day Weekend to continue on Easter weekend.

"What we've seen in the last couple of holidays, including Christmas and the Family Day long weekend...things got very, very busy with basically every flight being full," Reves said.
