Weyburn

Pierre Poilievre is defending the Conservative campaign platform's heavy reliance on economic growth in a period of deep uncertainty, while the NDP and Liberals spar over cost-cutting.

The Conservative leader was campaigning in Hamilton, Ont., on Wednesday, with just days to go before the federal vote on Monday and a day after he released the party's costed campaign platform.

Houses in Midale aren’t staying on the market for long, a trend that’s caught the attention of town officials.

“Properties are moving pretty quickly,” said Chief Administrative Officer Dena Scott.

While she’s not exactly sure what’s driving the demand, she suspects affordability plays a role.

“The cost of the houses, that type of thing, isn’t as high as it is in the cities,” she said, noting that even with a commute, Midale’s lower cost of living could be a major draw.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings were blanked for the second straight game as they lost 1-0 in Game 3 of the Canterra Seeds Cup against the Melfort Mustangs. Logan Belton was the lone goal scorer for the Mustangs as he was able to tuck in by Angelo Zol on a faceoff win by Zac Somers for Belton’s sixth of the postseason and his second straight game winning goal.

For the first time since April 13, 2012, the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are hosting a SJHL finals game at Crescent Point Place as they take on the Melfort Mustangs in Game 3 of the Canterra Seeds Cup Final. The Red Wings split last weekend’s set on the road, winning Game 1 by a score of 2-1 and then dropping Game 2 by a score of 3-0. Cody Mapes, head coach and general manager of the Red Wings, says there’s work to be done, but is excited to return home. 

Crescent Point Place will be packed tonight and tomorrow night as the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings continue the final playoff series at home. As a result, the City of Weyburn is issuing a reminder regarding parking and traffic guidelines.

A citizen's call led to charges being laid in Weyburn last week, reporting someone was kicking the door of a residence. 

When officers arrived, they discovered significant damage to the residence. They soon located the suspect who was taken into custody. 

“Through that investigation, a person that was on a house arrest was found to be the guilty party, and they were held in custody.” 

The suspect was remanded in custody in part due to the house arrest violation, and the nature of the incident.
