Weyburn

CMHA Weyburn staff and board members took part in the Mental Health Expo hosted by Legacy Park Elementary School on Thursday evening.

"The event was a collaborative effort," explained CMHA Weyburn's program director Tasha Collins.

Saskatchewan's Ministry of Agriculture has released its first crop report of the season. So far, 18 per cent of the provincial crop is now in the ground. That’s ahead of the five-year average (2020-2024) of 10 per cent and the 10-year average (2015-2024) of 12 per cent. 

Crop Extension Specialist Meghan Rosso says farmers are making good progress. 

Southeast Saskatchewan is no stranger to a long winter, however, May so far has seen temperatures up into the plus 30s with the familiar dry and windy conditions of a Saskatchewan summer.  

Warning and preparedness meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, Danielle Desjardins, explains the early heat is due to number of factors. 

Weyburn police officers enacted the City of Weyburn Bylaw last week, following a call on May 1st reporting an aggressive off-leash dog. 

Sergeant Riley Ross with the Weyburn Police Service says they were able to identify the owner of the animal and determine what happened. 

“Through that investigation, police were able to gather statements from the complainants and the witnesses, and we determined that the owner was allowing the dog outside of the residence in a public area off leash.” 

A British Columbia researcher in South Asian affairs said Thursday that concerns about the current India and Pakistan tensions are justified, given that the region has not seen conflicts this intense in more than 25 years. 

M.V. Ramana, professor at University of B.C.'s school of public policy and global affairs, said the last time there was a realistic risk of nuclear weapons being used was the conflict between the two sides in the Kargil region of Kashmir in 1999. 

A senior medical advisor with the Public Health Agency of Canada says the country could lose its measles elimination status if the highly contagious disease continues to spread into the fall.

Dr. Marina Salvadori warned of the possibility Thursday as cases in Ontario grew by nearly 200 infections, adding that would only occur if prolonged spread continued beyond mid-October 2025.

This Mother's Day we looked to celebrate mom's in our area with Make My Mother's Day. 

We had a ton of nominations come in and had to whittle the list down to five mom's who would be treated to a night out at Collabartive Art Studio AND potentially win our massive Mother's Day prize package!! 

Ashley, Anna, Kennedy, Gladys and Bonnie (who unfortunately couldn't make it out tonight) were our qualifying mom's. You can read what their nominators said about them here.

According to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture's first weekly Crop Report of the season, for the week of April 29th to May 5th, 2025, spring seeding is well underway across the province.

While April showers brought larger amounts of moisture to some areas within the region, the southeast was able to make good progress and is currently reporting 14 per cent of seeding complete. This is ahead of the five-year average (2020-2024) of nine per cent for the region, and just behind the provincial average of 18 per cent.

Veterans, diplomats, members of the Armed Forces and political leaders gathered Thursday at events across Canada commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.

"Nearly every family knows somebody who suffered from the effect of war," said Fraser McKee, a 100-year-old veteran who helped to lay a wreath at the Toronto ceremony.

"This is to remember people that will have to go to war, as well as remembering those that went and didn’t come back."

Weyburn Police responded last Wednesday to a complaint about an intoxicated individual causing a disturbance outside a business on the city's south side.

Sergeant Riley Ross said incidents like this are common. “It’s a pretty typical call that police respond to,” he explained. “We located the individual, who had open liquor on him. He was arrested for public intoxication and held in custody until sober, for his own safety.”
