Makers of handmade goods can register now for the Gifted Winter Art Sale, taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 15th at the Spark Centre in the multi-purpose rooms and the Legacy Gym.

"It's one of the most celebrated events of the holiday season, and we are so excited that our registrations are already over a quarter full and it's not even the end of August," shared Acting Chair of the Weyburn Arts Council, Natasha Hill. Note: registration became 50 per cent full within two days of the original publication of this article.

A large donation to the Weyburn Theatre Community Service Co-operative has helped get the organization closer to its funding goal. Kingston Midstream donated $50,000 for the project, bringing the total amount raised so far to $1.7 million. The total goal is $3 million. 

Thunderstorms moving through southeast Saskatchewan Sunday afternoon prompted several reports of funnel clouds in teh Weyburn area. The storms also brought spotty, intense rainfall in some areas, while others received just a trace amount. The storms, however, have set the stage for what could be a hot and humid week.  

Strong winds on Saturday morning didn't deter a dedicated group of volunteers from making Weyburn a little greener. 

Roughly 20 people took part in the annual Tatagwa Tree Day on August 16th, successfully planting 140 new trees along the Signal Hill walking trail. The team worked through the challenging conditions to plant the saplings along the trail, which is located just off New City Garden Road.

It could be another chaotic day for travellers as a labour dispute continues between Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants. 

Flight attendants with the Montreal-based airline represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees are expected to remain on the picket lines today as a battle against a federal return-to-work order continues. 

Days like yesterday really remind people as to WHY Saskatchewan is called the land of the living skies. 

Weyburn's emergency services were called to Crescent Point Place at around 3:30 on Thursday afternoon after a report of a dangerous smell.

"The Leisure staff were turning on the brine pumps to start to cool off the slab for ice install. There was a small release of ammonia from one of the compressors during the startup, so the levels did climb inside the plant area," said Deputy Fire Chief Mike Wock.

He said the ammonia release was over nearly as soon as it began, though, with the levels almost at zero by the time Fire Services were on the scene.

The annual Fire Ball Cabaret fundraiser for the Weyburn Firefighters Association (WFA) is a highlight for many community members. However, due to scheduling conflicts it has been postponed from the original September 13th date. In fact, WFA president Mike Hudson says it won’t be happening this year at all. 

“An unforeseen conflict has come up and we've had to postpone the fireball this year. We are looking now to put it on in the spring of 2026, which will be the new date for our Fire Ball.”
