Weyburn

Yellow Grass Fire and Rescue responded to a fire Sunday evening that could have had dire consequences if left unchecked.  

In a post on social media, YGFR stated they were called to a brush fire near the Yellow Grass School just after 6:30 p.m. The members of the fire department who arrived on the scene found a smouldering brush fire. They were able to quickly extinguish the fire, with no reported damage.  

The 2025 Saskatchewan Motocross season started Sunday in Weyburn. Hundreds of racers of all ages converged on the motocross track just southeast of the city for the event.

Here is the list of Weyburn and area racers, and how they finished: 

Stand up and look down. Do those tootsies of yours need help? It’s important to “understand” how vital it is to take proper care of your feet. Luckily for Weyburn, Tansi Toes offers advanced foot care services to make sure our hard-working feet get the attention they deserve. Owner Mikayla Edy-Lizuck talked about what her inspiration was for starting Tansi Toes. 

MPs are returning to Ottawa for the opening of the 45th session of Parliament, and among them is Alberta Foothills MP John Barlow, the Conservative Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food. Barlow is gearing up for what he describes as a challenging time for both the country and the agriculture sector, particularly due to ongoing trade and tariff issues.

King Charles is set to open a new session of Parliament on Tuesday, seated in a throne that incorporates a piece of English walnut from Windsor Great Park, a preserve of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth.

The Royal Family connection is especially appropriate given that the Queen was the first sovereign to deliver a speech from the throne in Canada, a role usually fulfilled by the Governor General.

Talks between Canada Post and negotiators from its union are expected to resume over the next few days, its union said Sunday after the two parties met amid warnings of mail delivery delays tied to a national ban on overtime for postal workers.

In an afternoon statement, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers said its negotiators had "worked hard to carefully evaluate" Canada Post's latest offers and prepare responses ahead of the day's meeting with the employer and the mediators. 

Fundraising for the Mending Little Hearts Foundation has become a tradition each February for Weyburn's Myla and Morgan Moule. Along with their mom, Jennie, and other family members, the simple act of baking delicious chocolate chip cookies helps make a difference in the lives of youth living with heart conditions.

Their latest fundraiser resulted in $3,200 raised by baking and selling 177 dozen cookies, all paid by donation. 

The Soo Line Cruisers Car Club will make their first Care Home Cruise of the season this afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. 

"The Weyburn City Police are going to help us through some of the intersections again this year," said club president Jarrod Stroeder.

In their cars from all eras, members circle the blocks past each of the care homes - Tatagwa View, Midtown Care Home (formerly Crocus Plains Villa), Weyburn Special Care Home, Eden Homes, Hilltop Manor, and Parkway Lodge, as well as Bison Manor and Legion Towers.

Here's a look at some of the photographs the Discover Weyburn staff captured recently:

Among the tour groups converging on Parliament Hill under umbrellas this week, new and newly re-elected members of Parliament are getting acquainted with their offices and colleagues ahead of the opening of the House of Commons this week. 

The first order of business for MPs is the selection of a new House Speaker on Monday morning, and at least six returning members are asking their colleagues to support their bid to take the chair.
