Drivers are advised to use alternate routes and take extra care near the construction zone.

The Carlyle Caridnals are headed off to the Western Canada Baseball Association Senior Baseball Championships today, capping off a very successful season. The Cardinals took the top spot in the Saskota Baseball League for the 6th year in a row, before also winning a provincial bout for the first time in the club's history.

Now they're headed to an even bigger stage, taking on some of the biggest teams on this side of the country.

The community of Job's Cove in Newfoundland is affected by the expanded evacuation alert for the wildfire, which is considered out-of-control and is now more than 90 square kilometres in size.

Poilievre led the charge as the Conservatives relentlessly attacked the consumer carbon price over the last two years, with the Liberals admitting the Tory tactics swayed public opinion and forced them to end the so-called carbon tax earlier this year. 

The southeast has gotten a taste of a sunny summer over the past week, but soon the weather is shifting back into the cloudy, rainy systems which dominated July. Environment Canada's latest forecast calls for a system to start up on the weekend, which sees continuing rains establish themselves for next week.

Meteorologist Crawford Luke details the coming system and what we can expect for a return to rainy weather.

From near-misses in crosswalks to a costly scam targeting a local resident, Estevan police were kept on their toes Aug. 13. 

Police responded to a report of a possible impaired driver. Officers attended the location but were unable to locate the vehicle. The vehicle was later found at the registered owner’s residence.

The Saskatchewan RCMP has released another list of 10 wanted persons in the province, whom the police hope to obtain information on. The persons selected for the list are chosen based on a review of their current criminal charges and the potential harm they pose to communities in Saskatchewan. 

While ten names are on the list, only one has a known possible location here in the southeast:
