Weyburn

In a historic moment for the Southeast Gold Wings, the team clinched its first-ever provincial championship, overcoming adversity to emerge victorious. Coach Rodney Reid expressed his pride in the team's perseverance, especially after facing numerous challenges throughout the season.

With the weather warming and spring coming to the prairies, producers have been going through calving season with plenty of work for them. 

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan Vice-President Chris Procyk says that, from what he's heard, it's been a decent season in the province.

The Weyburn Police Service responded to a report of trespassers at the Weyburn City Centre Mall late Saturday night. Officers arrived to find two teenagers inside the building. Deputy Police Chief Shane St. John says they were charged with trespassing. 

Construction is underway at Nickle Lake Regional Park on a new washroom and laundry facility and a future new Canteen building.

The oldest washroom building in the park, nearest the beach, was torn down in October and was likely close to 50 years old.

Park Manager Darren Wheeler said the foundation work for the new build began in January.

"It has taken a while to get to this point. We got all the piles in this last week, and this week the concrete grade beams are going in and we're starting to see some action out here finally."

The Saskatchewan Selects Football Club will be hosting a skills development camp for players and coaches in Weyburn on May 16th from 5 to 9 p.m. on the Weyburn Minor Football Field.

According to Matt Sheridan, former CFL defensive lineman with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who is in charge of Community Outreach for Sask Selects, "this is not your typical football camp." 

Medical emergencies can develop in an instant for anyone.  

Even if someone collapses or has a serious accident a block away from the hospital, the fear, uncertainty, and pressure of the moment can be earth-shattering.  

What happens, then, when the same thing happens kilometres away from a hospital, in the remote and sometimes harsh expanse of nature or farmland?  

For Paula Johnson, who was bucked off her horse on a birthday expedition that had already taken her across water, through an elk herd, and past grazing cattle, there was no going back. Only up.  

Weyburn Police Service officers were doing stationary radar late Saturday afternoon when a man approached their patrol car and committed an indecent act. They were stationed on a public street near a traffic light. Deputy Police Chief Shane St. John says it demonstrated a disregard for police and for the public. 

The South East Cornerstone Public School Division approved the 2025-26 school calendar at their meeting last week. The calendar will see the students in class for 184 days, with a total of 13 non-instructional days. The majority of the non-instructional days take place before and after the end of the in-class days.  

April marks the unofficial start of digging season in Saskatchewan, and with it comes a province-wide campaign to promote safety and awareness around ground disturbance. The Saskatchewan Common Ground Alliance (SCGA) has officially launched Dig Safe Month, kicking things off with the first of 23 free breakfast events hosted in communities across the province. 

This week is Global Asbestos Awareness Week. With the start of the week, the Government of Saskatchewan is reminding the public about the province’s Asbestos Registry.

The registry, which was updated and launched in February, has the list and location of public buildings and publicly owned buildings that are known to contain asbestos. This helps to ensure workers who are performing repairs and renovations know about the risks involving asbestos.
