Weyburn

The Town of Radville is shifting from a busy summer into a fall season packed with community events. After a summer that saw residents enjoying the town's amenities, they are now gearing up for events in September and October. 

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday human smuggling across the border with Canada is getting worse — and that traffickers are looking north following the Trump administration's crackdown at the border with Mexico.

"The northern border, it always has been, but it's gotten much worse, much more prevalent because … it's a multibillion-dollar business, the smuggling of drugs, guns and humans," Bondi said during a news conference in Tampa, Fla.

Messages of condolences and support poured in for a Manitoba First Nation after a mass stabbing on Thursday, including from a First Nation in Saskatchewan that experienced one of its own exactly three years earlier.

Police say eight people were found severely injured in two homes on Hollow Water First Nation, northeast of Winnipeg.

An 18-year-old woman died while the suspect, her 26-year-old brother, died after the stolen vehicle he was driving collided with a vehicle driven by a police officer responding to the attack.

The Weyburn Field Office for Whitecap Resources Inc. hosted the provincial Minister of Energy and Resources Colleen Young Thursday morning, as she toured the facility and gleaned information about innovation in the oil and gas sector happening here in the Weyburn area.  

Employees of Whitecap Resources attended as well, alongside MLA for Weyburn Bengough Mike Weger and other representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Resources. The event began with a presentation outlining Whitecap Resources’ operations and their innovative use of CO2 and carbon capture in oil extraction.  

A brother and sister are dead and several others, including a Mountie, injured after a mass stabbing Thursday on a Manitoba First Nation.

Police say the woman, 18, was among those stabbed by her brother, 26-year-old Tyrone Simard, in the early morning attack on the Hollow Water First Nation northeast of Winnipeg.

The Golden Sheaf Award is presented annually to an area producer, in recognition of excellence in the field of agriculture. The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce recently announced that nominations are now open for the 2025 recipient.  

Executive Director for the Chamber, Monica Osborn, says the award is part of acknowledging the agricultural sector of Weyburn's economy, and fostering connections between rural and urban industries.  

The Variations Community Choir will begin weekly rehearsals for the season on Wednesday, September 10th.

"Everyone who likes any kind of music is welcome to join us," she invited. "We do have a variety of music; we like to have some challenging music, too, but lots of different genres. We try to hit on a kind of different theme every semester, and it's kind of fun."

The Conservative Party is calling for an end to the Temporary Foreign Workers program; in its place, they are calling for a single program for the agriculture sector.

Leader Pierre Poilievre quoting the latest employment stats from July, points out we now have 14.6  per cent unemployment rate and 1.6 million Canadians unemployed.

He says the principle behind ending the program is very simple. "Canadian jobs for Canadian Workers"

Favourable harvesting conditions over the past week have allowed producers in southeast Saskatchewan to make significant strides in the field. 

The latest crop report, for the week ending September 1, shows the harvest is now 33 per cent complete for the region. While this is a considerable jump from the previous week, progress remains behind the five-year average of 42 per cent and the 10-year average of 43 per cent for this time of year.
