Weyburn

The Weyburn Police Service is reminding the community of water conservation efforts in effect during the summer. Deputy Chief Shane St. John notes that these measures are under the City of Weyburn Bylaw. 

“I think people sometimes forget about it or aren't sure how it works. People can get a fine, usually it'd be a warning if someone's watering all the time when they're not supposed to be, you could get a fine. We don't want to see anyone get that so, it's better for everyone just to be aware of the by-law.” 

A spokesperson for Manitoba Agriculture says it remains to be seen what sort of damage was felt on fields from last week's hail.

Hail was reported in numerous locations across the province, and Oilseed Specialist Sonia Wilson says producers will typically leave those crops for five to seven days, just to see how they rebound, before assessing them for hail damage.

Her journey with the camps began in 2008 as a camper, and she later returned for the Youth Leadership Program from 2012 to 2016.
