Farmers across southeast Saskatchewan made significant progress in the past week, with 95 per cent of seeding now complete. That’s up from 80 per cent the week before and is on par with the region’s five-year average of 94 per cent.

The Weather Network's Summer Forecast is calling for above-normal temperatures for the Prairies.

The southern half of the provinces will experience well-above-normal temperatures due to a heat dome in the U.S.

A heat dome occurs when a high-pressure system traps hot air over a region, causing prolonged periods of extreme heat. 

Meteorologist Rhythm Reet says this means we could see excessive heat for a longer period and more frequent heat waves; it also influences where the storm track will be setting up.

It was an exciting day on Wednesday for Mrs. Porter's Kindergarten class at St. Michael School.

While it was Mrs. Porter's fourth year taking part in the Fish in Schools program through the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and the Weyburn Wildlife Federation, it was an entirely new experience for the young students.

A strong late-inning push wasn’t enough for the Weyburn Beavers Wednesday night, as they fell 6-4 to the Moose Jaw Miller Express at Tom Laing Park.

Devastating wildfires continue to rage in northern Saskatchewan, displacing thousands of people in communities including La Ronge, Air Ronge, Creighton, and Flin Flon. Weyburn has become a refuge for some of those displaced, welcoming approximately 80 evacuees.

There are just a few more days for Weyburn residents to help ensure our city can keep its possession of the Golden Garbage Can, with a big day coming up on Monday.
