An incident was reported to SaskPower at around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday involving a farm implement coming into contact with a power structure near Riceton, south of Regina.

SaskPower Spokesperson Scott McGregor said the machine had come into contact with one of their transmission structures.

"Thankfully that line in particular doesn't service any of our customers on the distribution side, so there were no outages felt by any of our residential customers, business customers, or anything like that," he reported.

No extracurricular activities will be available to students today at the schools in Estevan due to province-wide job action being taken by members of the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation.

In an announcement coming in over the weekend, there will be rotating full-day strikes tomorrow at specific schools in the province.

However, the South East Cornerstone Public School Division was not named as one of the divisions impacted at this time, which means there will be school for all students on February 27th in SECPSD schools.

Anyone who has been actively working on building and protecting their own mental health has likely become aware of the importance of setting boundaries.

According to Raven Daer, Communications Specialist at Envision Counselling & Support Centre, boundaries are not 'rules' for others, but, in fact, they are more of a guideline for upholding personal standards, for the purpose of self-care.

Whether it's physical, relational, financial, or food-or-time limits, setting boundaries in our life is a big part of being healthy.

Valentine's Day has come and gone, and no matter how much romance was in the air, it doesn't always last, and eventually, couples will be at odds. Even for those who aren't in relationships with significant others, patterns of discord can come up between parents and children, and among friends or co-workers.

Sweeties everywhere are celebrating Valentine's Day with expressions and tokens, date nights and probably some marriage proposals.

Loving relationships are not just chocolate hearts and flowers, and even the best ones take a lot of care. 

So how does anyone know they'll be able to show up for their partner, their family, and their community?

Raven Daer is the Communications Specialist with Envision Counselling and Support Centre. She said self-love is the best way to ensure healthy relationships, and it all begins with self-care.

SGI is reminding drivers, distraction and inattention go beyond what you do with your phone, and while talking, texting, swiping and selfies can take your attention away from the act of driving, of course, if you’re not careful, countless other activities can also make the difference between life or death, or between having disposable income or paying a hefty ticket.

Forty schools across the province will each get their turn for the delivery of rainbow trout eggs soon, as part of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation’s Fish in Schools (FinS) program.
