With school getting underway, the Fort Saskatchewan Food Bank is in need of some items.

The three busiest times of the year for the food bank are Christmas, a new year, and the start of school.

Kassandra Gartner, executive director for the food bank, says items that the food bank needs the most are healthy cereal, jam, rice, pasta, crackers and cookies.

"We serve a lot of families. 44 per cent of who we serve are youth, so we're always looking for school snacks. The nut-free granola bars, the fruit cups, the pudding cups," Gartner said.

Repairs on the Highway 15 pedestrian bridge in Fort Saskatchewan will start on Tuesday (Sept. 6). 

The bridge has been closed since a vehicle carrying a large load hit the structure on July 21, causing damage.

The City of Fort Saskatchewan says only one lane will be open heading northbound while construction takes place. 

Weather permitting, the bridge will reopen in four to six weeks.

During the school year, Rudolph Hennig Junior High School students use the walkway as a main route to and from the school.

Gibbons' local hockey team, the Pioneers, have a new jersey, a rebranded arena, and a new coach.

After a rough start with the expansion last year, Paralympian and ice sledge hockey player Steve Arsenault was hired as the new head coach of the Pioneers.

"What we wanted to do was to make sure that we started building the right foundation for a program that's going to withstand time and duration," Arsenault said.

RCMP say Damien Sanderson, one of two suspects in a deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan, has been found dead.

The body of the 31-year-old was discovered outdoors in a grassy area on the James Smith Cree Nation.

Police say he had visible injuries that were not self-inflicted.

His brother, 30-year-old Myles Sanderson, is the second suspect wanted in the stabbings.

Police say he is still at large, may be injured and could be in Regina.

Investigators continued their "relentless" manhunt Monday for two suspects accused in a series of stabbings that left 10 people dead and at least 15 others injured in rural Saskatchewan a day earlier.

The men were still on the lam 24 hours after officials first issued an emergency alert warning residents of the rampage on the James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon, Regina Police Chief Evan Bray said in a video posted to Twitter early Monday morning.

Flags at provincial government buildings in Saskatchewan are at half-mast as the manhunt continues for two suspects in a stabbing rampage on a First Nation and in a nearby village that left 10 people dead and 15 others injured.

The attacks took place at 13 different locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, with police getting the first reports on the First Nation before 6 a.m. Sunday.

A dangerous persons alert remains in effect from Alberta to Manitoba for Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30.

A stabbing rampage on a Saskatchewan First Nation and in a nearby village left 10 people dead and 15 others injured, provincial RCMP said Sunday as officers continued to search for two suspects in the case.

“We believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspects and others have been attacked randomly,” Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant commissioner in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP, told reporters in Regina.

“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today.”  

On September 5, the RCMP confirmed one of the two suspects was found dead. Damien Sanderson was found deceased on the James Smith Cree Nation.

Police continue their search for two suspects.

According to the Saskatchewan RCMP, the police received a report the suspects may be travelling in the Arcola Ave area around 11:45 a.m. in Regina in a black, Nissan Rogue with license plate 119 MPI.
