Weyburn

Last week we wrapped up Crack the Vault driven by Great Plains Motorsports. 

Despite the need to pay some bills, the thrill of a vacation, and the need for a haircut (thanks Bradley), no one managed to Crack the Vault and walk away with $100,000. 

One question remains though. What code would have cracked the vault? Let's find out! 

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are looking to advance to the Canterra Seeds Cup Final with a win on home ice tonight against the Flin Flon Bombers. After going up 3-0 in the semi-final series, the Red Wings have dropped their last two games to set up tonight’s Game 6 at Crescent Point Place. With the opportunity to advance to the finals for the first time in over a decade on home ice, head coach and general manager Cody Mapes of the Red Wings knows how special this game could be. 

With spring rolling into the southeast, farmers are getting ready for the upcoming growing season and all the hardships and rewards that come with it. Seeding season normally happens a bit after snow melts off the ground, with farmers needing a bit of time afterwards so the ground can thaw.

Agrologist with Western Ag and southeast farmer Edgar Hammermeister says that the area isn't all uniform this spring.

Dr. Wade Abbott and his research team at AAFC Lethbridge are embarking on a groundbreaking study aimed at unlocking new possibilities for the humble field pea, a crop primarily known for its use in food production.

The project will explore underutilized aspects of the legume, including its protein, starch, and fibre, with an eye on developing new food and non-food products that could benefit both the agricultural and industrial sectors.

The Legacy Choir is comprised of 35 to 40 singers from Grades 4 to 6 at Legacy Park Elementary School. They'll be performing a joint concert with the Rise Choir from Weyburn Comprehensive School in the LPES gymnasium on May 5th at 7 p.m.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to tighten financial transparency rules for elected officials — and is using that promise to take aim at Liberal Leader Mark Carney.

Poilievre told a press conference in Ottawa on Sunday that if his party forms government, he'll ban what he calls "shadow lobbying."

Recent local fundraisers have been showing how generous and supportive of not-for-profit organizations the community of Weyburn has been this spring. 

The Weyburn Public Library's Spring Book sale raised more than $4,000 last weekend. The funds go toward their free programming.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings will have another chance to clinch their spot in the SJHL finals Monday night, after they fell 6-1 to the Flin Flon Bombers in Game 5 at the Whitney Forum Saturday night. The loss was the first on the road for the Red Wings in the playoffs. 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised to cut red tape and step up support for veterans Saturday, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney pledged to make visiting national parks and museums more affordable for Canadian families.

Poilievre unveiled his party's plan for veterans during a press conference in Nepean, the suburban Ottawa community that contains the neighbouring ridings where he and Carney are running. 

Carney did not have any public events scheduled. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's itinerary shows he will hold an evening event in Timmins, Ont.

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