Here's a look at some of the photographs captured by the Discover Weyburn staff and submitted by community members throughout the week:

The early-1960s revelation that British spy Kim Philby had worked for Moscow alarmed Canadian intelligence officials who feared that he had betrayed confidences gleaned from Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko, once-secret archival records show.

Harold Adrian Russell "Kim" Philby was recruited by Russian intelligence in the 1930s. He joined Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, known as MI-6, during the Second World War, rising through the ranks to become a senior liaison officer in Washington from 1949 to 1951.

Former federal environment minister Catherine McKenna says the Justin Trudeau government's efforts to explain the consumer carbon price to Canadians were "half-hearted" — and just getting a meeting with the prime minister to discuss it "seemed impossible."

McKenna offers those behind-the-scenes details in her new autobiography, Run Like A Girl, which is being launched next week.

The Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit is investigating what it deems a "suspicious death" after a woman was fatally shot while riding as a passenger in an SUV just outside of Weyburn Friday night. The incident is currently believed to be random in nature.

Shortly after 8 p.m. on Friday, two adult women, who were friends, were traveling together in a black Ford Explorer on Highway 39 near the grain terminals on the northwest edge of town, heading towards Weyburn. They were the only occupants of the vehicle when, according to police, a large crack was heard.

A major milestone is approaching for the significant construction project on Highway 39 near Weyburn. According to the latest Weekly Orange Zone Construction Update from the Ministry of Highways, released Friday morning, paving on the new roundabout and twinned highway segment is expected to begin Monday, weather permitting. 

A thunderstorm lit up the sky outside, but inside the Whitecap Resources Centre Friday night, it was a reunion of generations for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings. Twenty-four alumni players, and a handful of current Red Wings took to the ice for the alumni game, giving fans a chance to see past favourites and connect with old friends.
