The Stanley Cup made a stop in Weyburn Sunday, as Reid Jackson, a scout with the champion Florida Panthers, brought the storied trophy to his hometown.  

“It’s such a huge thing just to be able to share it with a lot of the guys that I grew up with, the coaches, and family and friends,” Jackson said while stopping by Crescent Point Place with the Cup. “It’s such a big deal for everyone here, and then for me and my family, to be able to share it and raise some money for minor hockey.” 

Wildfire smoke has made its return to the southeast, prompting a special air quality statement to be issued by Environment Canada.  

The smoke moving into the region is from fires burning in northern Saskatchewan, along with northern Alberta. While a slight reprieve is anticipated in the early morning hours tomorrow, it is expected to return and linger throughout the day and into the evening.  

The Regina Police Service’s Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant in Yellow Grass earlier this month, resulting in the seizure of more than 30 firearms and the arrest of one man. The warrant was executed with assistance from the RCMP.
