Weyburn

Items are pouring into the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 47 in Weyburn for their Huge Indoor Garage Sale. From furniture and household items to clothing and anything else one can imagine, there will be something for everyone at this event, coming up on April 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

They still have room for more items, though, so anyone wanting to purge unwanted items after a spring cleaning does not have to wait for summer to host a garage sale.

Board Member Jerry Ponto said items can be dropped off at the Legion in advance.

The Under 18 AA Southeast Apex Gold Wings stand to take home the provincial championship this Sunday at home against the Warman Wildcats. The Wildcats took the first game in the best of three series with a 3-1 win in Midale. The Gold Wings then tied it up in Warman with a come-from-behind 4-2 victory.  

Head coach for the Gold Wings, Rodney Reid, says this weekend's game doesn’t have much added pressure for the team, noting his confidence in their work this year. 

The first day of the 2025 Senior Curling Provincials is in the books, with a lot of action on the sheets in Weyburn.  

The first draw of the tournament was at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, with three games on the men’s side.  

The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce held their Annual General Meeting and Presidents' Luncheon on Wednesday. The event saw Mayor Jeff Richards describe the upgrades the community will see coming up.  

He begins regarding the team of councillors now having these discussions. 

"I can confidently tell you, the six people that I serve with today at City Council are the best leadership team I have ever seen the City of Weyburn have.” 

The Weyburn Public Library needs your donations of books and other media items for their Spring Book Sale coming up April 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The funds raised help support the free programming offered at the branch.

"We're pretty much a week out and we're at about half of where we usually are," said Branch Manager Dawn Silver. "I've got maybe 20 boxes left for our 'Volunteens' to unpack, but we are not anywhere near the capacity that we need to be."

Last month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or CFIA officially declared a herd of cattle infected with bovine tuberculosis or bovine TB. An investigation spanning back six years has taken place, tracking the movements of the herd to limit the spread of bovine TB. Dr. Stacey Vos, veterinarian and Animal Health Regional Veterinary Officer with the CFIA, talks about the case itself, and the risks associated with bovine TB. 

For the second day in a row, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been pulled away from campaigning to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. 

Carney, in his role as prime minister, will meet virtually with Canada's premiers today to discuss the country's response to Trump's latest duties.

The president signed an executive order earlier this week to implement 25 per cent levies on all automobile and auto part imports — his latest move to upend global trade through a massive tariff agenda that pushed some automakers' stock prices down on Thursday.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province is reducing the industrial carbon levy to zero. 

He says the move makes Saskatchewan the first "fully carbon tax free" province, saving ratepayers money on their electricity bills. 

Moe says the measure will also make businesses more competitive amid tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. 

He adds he hopes the next federal government does not impose a backstop to collect levies from Saskatchewan.

The Weyburn Curling Club this weekend is hosting the Provincial Seniors Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships.

The event kicked off this morning, and will conclude on Sunday. Six women's teams and 11 men's teams are taking part in the 'Senior Playdowns'.

A move by Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to pause the industrial carbon levy appears to have blown a hole in the province's finances. 

Saskatchewan is forecasting a surplus of $12 million this year, with $431 million in revenue from those levies. 

The Opposition NDP says without those dollars, the province would find itself in a deficit. 

"This government continues to pretend that they have somehow delivered a balanced budget or a budget with a surplus," NDP Leader Carla Beck told reporters Thursday.
