After months of anticipation, the 2025 CanAm Bowl is officially set to kick off on Tuesday night in Rosetown.

Canada Day festivities in Rosetown will be capped off with Tuesday's 8:00 PM kickoff from the field behind Rosetown Central High School. The game represents an all-star showcase between Team Canada (Saskatchewan/Alberta) and Team USA (Montana/Nebraska/Wyoming/Texas) and has been taking place since 1997.

Kindersley Composite School's Law 30 class recently toured the Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert, gaining a unique perspective on the workings inside the federal prison system. The visit, which lasted about three hours, was part of a class project designed to help students better understand the role and day-to-day operations of correctional facilities.

Eliana Helgason, one of the students on the tour, said the experience challenged some of her previous assumptions about prison life. “I think, in the end, it made me rethink a career choice of mine,” she said.

The Kyle RCMP detachment responded to a variety of calls between June 19 and 26, according to their latest report released Thursday.

On June 20 at 2:35 p.m., Rosetown/Kyle RCMP assisted a member of the public with a front-counter complaint. The matter remains under investigation.

A two-vehicle collision occurred on June 22 at 11:11 a.m. on Highway 42 near Lucky Lake. No injuries were reported.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders head into their first bye week of the season with a perfect 4-0 record. Led by backup quarterback Jake Maier, the Riders leaned on a powerful run game and key defensive turnovers to earn a 37-18 home win over the BC Lions on Saturday.

Early drives only resulted in field goals as the Riders took a 6-0 lead into the second quarter, answered quickly by the Lions as a 15-yard touchdown catch by Keon Hatcher led to the Lions going up 7-6.

A settlement advisor who supported a woman at the centre of a human trafficking case testified this week that the woman disclosed details about her employment and living situation, including a lack of access to food, water and communication, as well as alleged coercion and sexual violence.
