Our listeners certainly got "Up(!)" for the Shania Twain "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under" concert promotion earlier this June. 

Pictured above, Kindersley’s Irene Rissling was the lucky winner of two tickets to the upcoming show in Moose Jaw from Temple Gardens Centre on July 7.

To carry out the contest Nick Cooper, took the Country 104 morning show on the road to different Mainline Automotive Group locations in Kindersley and Rosetown.

May inflation figures showed marginal improvements in some of the Bank of Canada's closely watched price figures — a step in the right direction, some economists say, but likely not enough to convince the central bank to cut interest rates.

The annual pace of inflation held steady at 1.7 per cent last month as cooling shelter costs helped tame price pressures, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.

SaskPower announced before the weekend that the Town of Kindersley has a power outage set for Tuesday.

The Liberal government will table a bill this fall introducing stricter bail conditions and sentencing for some crimes, particularly those involving organized crime, human trafficking, home invasion and car theft, Justice Minister Sean Fraser said in an interview.

"It's perhaps obvious, given the tenor around the criminal justice system, that reforms are in order," Fraser told The Canadian Press.

A few construction projects are currently taking place in the West Central region as we head towards the end of June. One is nearly complete; another will stretch into the start of July.

A Saskatchewan MLA took the stand this week in a human trafficking trial in Rosetown.

The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $1.1 million to support 29 teacher-led projects through the Teacher Innovation and Support Fund, Education Minister Everett Hindley announced Tuesday.

The funding is aimed at enhancing student and teacher experiences through locally developed initiatives in areas such as STEM, student wellbeing, academic support, and culture or land-based learning. Projects were selected from applications submitted by teachers and backed by their school divisions earlier this spring.

The Canadian Meat Council is warning that the Liberal government’s legislation to ease the movement of goods and services within Canada could actually undermine red meat exports.

Lauren Martin, senior director of public affairs for the organization, says the bill is raising questions about whether it could lead the federal government to recognize provincial rules for inspecting meat processing facilities as equal to federal standards.

While the recent rainfall is more than welcome across the province, it's been putting a solid dent in first pitch plans for local baseball teams.

One of those teams in particular, the WCBL's Saskatoon Berries, played a doubleheader over the weekend against the Energy City Cactus Rats. After their Saturday game at Cairns Field was rained out, in Ernie Banks fashion on Sunday it was a great chance to play two, and the Berries walked away with a pair of wins 4-3 and 4-0 to send fans home happy after a long day at the ballpark.
