The Spirit Singers will be performing Little Women the Musical at Grace United Church in early May.

"We've completely transformed the entire place. It doesn't even look like our church anymore. It's quite amazing," shared Kendra Gonczy, Director of Spirit Singers.

She said the show features the classic story by Louisa May Alcott.

The Conservatives and NDP spent the weekend hunting votes in British Columbia — a key late-campaign battleground that one pollster says may offer Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre his best shot at victory.

Both Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh addressed Canadians' cost-of-living concerns at campaign events in B.C. on Sunday.

Singh was asked if he was advocating strategic voting to shore up the party's flagging support against possible Conservative inroads in the region.

Pope Francis will be remembered by Canadian Catholics as a progressive leader whose approach to the papacy helped usher in a new era of Indigenous relations and make the church more responsive to its rank and file.

The Vatican says the pontiff died Monday at age 88.

Francis was the global leader of Canada's most popular organized religion. Nearly 11 million Canadians identified as Catholic in the 2021 census, second only to those without a religious affiliation.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings look to continue their winning ways into Game 2 of the Canterra Seeds Cup Finals tonight on the road against the Melfort Mustangs. The Red Wings started the series off on the right foot with a hard-fought 2-1 win last night to go up 1-0 in the series.

The federal Liberals and NDP both released their costed campaign platforms Saturday as Elections Canada reported record turnout in the first day of advanced polls.

Nearly two million people showed up to cast a ballot on Friday, the first of four days for advanced voting in the federal election.

Elections Canada said in a social media post it will be making adjustments over the coming days to handle the high traffic after many voters were met with long lineups at polling stations.

It's Easter Sunday and a number of Weyburn churches are hosting services today.

Grace United Church will host their Easter Sunday Service with Holy Communion begins at 10:30 a.m.

Life Centre will host an Easter Sunday service at 10 a.m., which includes kids' church classes for ages three to 11.

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church will host an Easter Sunday service at 10 a.m. at St. Vincent de Paul, and at St. Mary’s in Tribune at 1 p.m.

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

Jerome Maharaj had a goal and an assist, and Ethan Dekay scored the game winner, as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings took the first game of the Canterra Seeds Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Melfort Mustangs Saturday night.

"I think Angelo (Zol) made sure that we had a chance to continue to get better," Red Wings head coach Cody Mapes said after the game. "He did his job in the first period, and just kind of allowed us to settle in a little bit. There were definitely some nerves, and a little bit of good goaltending was the recipe we needed there to start."

The Weyburn Credit Union Spark Centre (CUSC) is gearing up for summer recreation as they open their outdoor sport facilities. Beginning with the opening of their tennis and pickleball courts earlier this week. 

The Leisure Services Manager for the City of Weyburn, Amanda Wallace, explains these courts are open to key holders at any time and accessible to all ages.  

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings for the first time in over a decade are getting ready for Game 1 of the Canterra Seeds Cup Final tonight against the Melfort Mustangs. The Red Wings defeated the Flin Flon Bombers 3-2 in overtime last Monday to advance to the SJHL finals for the first time since 2012. Now, they have the chance to start he journey to SJHL supremacy and win the league championships, something that hasn't been done for the Red Wings since 2002.
