Weyburn

It was a busy weekend for Weyburn lacrosse teams, with three teams travelling to Swift Current for games, and one team heading to Regina.

One day after an explosive win in Moose Jaw, the Weyburn Beavers found themselves in another nail-biter Sunday afternoon, this time on home turf. Despite a strong mid-game surge, the Beavers fell 8-7 to the Moose Jaw Miller Express, who secured their first win of the season. 

Weyburn’s offence was once again sparked by second baseman Alex Alva, who continued his hot streak at the plate. 

The Completely Branded RentPro Weyburn Razorbacks were looking to carry the momentum of a close loss Thursday into Sunday’s game in Swift Current against the Wolverines. The Razorbacks would carry the lead into the third period, but Swift Current would rally late, scoring three goals in the third period to win 6-5. 

This summer is shaping up to be a hot one that could be even hotter if wildfires continue to spread throughout the province. The Weather Network recently released its summer forecast, with Saskatchewan not being spared from the incoming heat.

Matthew Grinter, a meteorologist with The Weather Network, talks about what they're seeing for the province.

Canada's premiers are heading into to a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saskatoon Monday armed with their wish lists for major "nation-building" projects that could buttress the economy in the face of a U.S. trade war.

Carney asked the premiers to each pass on five suggestions for national infrastructure projects, and Monday's meeting will aim to identify the ones that will make the final cut to be fast tracked using legislation Ottawa may introduce as early as this week.

Canada Post has rejected a request from the union representing about 55,000 of its workers to send their ongoing labour dispute to binding arbitration.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers made the request in a statement Saturday, saying it was inviting Canada Post to a fair, final and binding arbitration process to resolve negotiations that have dragged on for months without producing a new collective agreement. 

The City of Weyburn announced the closure of Government Road beginning tomorrow and continuing through Wednesday. 

In a release published by the city, the closure will span from the intersection from Highway 39 to Souris Avenue. Drivers are advised that there will be no access to Government Road from Railway Avenue. 

The closure is due to major asphalt repairs being done on the road, which is part of the City of Weyburn's 2025 Infrastructure Revitalization Program. 

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

As Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argues the government's plan to speed up key infrastructure projects doesn't go far enough, some Indigenous leaders are accusing Ottawa of not giving them enough time to weigh in.

The government is developing a bill to fast-track what it calls nation-building projects with a streamlined regulatory approval process as a substitute for reviews under the Impact Assessment Act, also known as C-69.

While the federal government and cities across Canada are making strides on expanding the housing supply, the provinces still need to get serious about building quality homes, a new report released Thursday argues.

No province earned a grade higher than C+ in the report assembled by the Task Force for Housing and Climate, a non-governmental body that was struck in 2023 with backing from the philanthropic Clean Economy Fund.

The task force's "report card" evaluated governments based on their policies for building homes quickly and sustainably.
