Weyburn

Prime Minister Mark Carney will be watched closely by Canadians infuriated by Donald Trump — and by an anxious business community looking for tariff relief — when he meets with the U.S. president Tuesday in Washington.

After months of Trump's annexation threats, the newly elected prime minister will be tasked with a delicate balancing act — showing strength while maintaining Canada's place in a critical North American trade pact the president's tariffs have sought to upend.

'Music Monday' is coming up tomorrow, and a joint concert will be held tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Legacy Park Elementary School gymnasium, featuring the Legacy Choir and the Rise Choir from Weyburn Comprehensive School.

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

Southeast College Celebrated its 50th year this week with a career fair and open house at the Weyburn campus.

Highlights include a free community barbecue served by the door, and lab tours provided to potential students, showcasing their facilities. 

They also opened a time capsule, featuring items from as far back as 2002, and showcased the items going into a new time capsule, set to be opened in 2050.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has released a public notice regarding potential measles exposure in Weyburn.

According to the release, the potential exposure came on Thursday, April 17th at Walmart in Weyburn. Individuals who were at that location between 3:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. are being advised to monitor themselves closely for 21 days after the potential exposure.

The Weyburn Police Service responded to 78 calls for service during the period of April 21st to April 27th. A total of 24 charges resulted, with 18 laid under the Criminal Code of Canada, five under the Traffic Safety Act, and one under the Summary Offence Procedures Act.    

Here's a look at notable events from the week, and our follow up.

King Charles will visit Ottawa to deliver the speech from the throne at the end of this month in a show of support for Canadian sovereignty, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.

The news came in his first press conference since leading the Liberals to a fourth straight mandate in Monday's election, where he laid out the priorities for his first few months, promising to "embark on the biggest transformation of our economy since the end of the Second World War." 

More than three quarters of Canadians believe misinformation had an impact on the outcome of the federal election, a new poll suggests.

The Leger poll, which sampled more than 1,500 Canadian adults from April 29 to May 1, suggests that 19 per cent of people think false information or misinformation had a major impact on the election.

Almost a third (32 per cent) said it had a moderate impact, while 26 per cent said it had a minor impact on the election's outcome.

Only nine per cent of Canadians said misinformation had no impact on the election at all.

“Let us draw strength from one another.” That was the message from Weyburn YF Wives President Laila Bader as she officially opened the 3rd Annual Weyburn YF Wives Club Women of Distinction Awards Gala.  

The annual event, hosted at McKenna Hall, celebrates the achievements of women from the Weyburn area who are nominated in five categories: Workplace Excellence, Community Service, Entrepreneur, Agriculture, and Young Woman of Distinction.  

The federal riding of Terrebonne in Quebec has gone from the Liberals' win column back to the Bloc Québécois after a postelection vote validation process.

Bloc candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, who had represented the riding since 2021, said in a social media post that she came out with a lead of 44 votes and that a judicial recount will take place.

"For someone to be officially elected, you have to wait until the end of this process," Sinclair-Desgagné wrote in French. "I hope to have the honour of representing Terrebonne again in the coming years."
