The Weyburn Red Wings organization is hosting volunteer night tonight at Crescent Point Place. Volunteer coordinator Brenda Clarke says anyone interested in helping out this hockey season is invited to attend.

"We go through the volunteers that we have and then try and get some people to sign up for the first few games, which are coming up quickly. Our first game is September 1st with the Calibaba Cup."

Originally from Winnipeg, Love & the Outcome, a husband-and-wife musical duo, has made waves in the Christian music scene. 

The pair, now based in Nashville, has released a handful of albums since it was first signed to Curb | Word Entertainment in 2013. Over the years, songs such as “You got this” and “I’m not lucky — I’m blessed” have defined the sound of the group.

Congratulations to Stephan Laing from The Oasis Church Grande Prairie, our latest Date Night on Daniel Winner!

Stephan won a $100 gift card to Mr. Mike's Steakhouse Casual and a Cineplex gift card courtesy of Daniel Cram of Sutton Realty.

Kevin nominated him, "Pastor Stephen does so much for the community. He is always out helping someone. Doesn't take much time for himself."

Nominate your ministry leader today for a Date Night on Daniel.

It's time to book your spot to make a lasting mark for an important cause.

The Canadian Mental Health Association Weyburn branch is taking registration now for the Eighth Annual Semi-Colon Tattoo event, being held on September 20th at Under Your Skin Tattoos.

Program Director Tasha Collins said they hold the event in September as close to World Suicide Prevention Day, on September 10th.

"We partner with Under Your Skin Tattoos, who have done this this for us seven other times, and they've generated a total of $18,990 for our branch."

Meals on the Farm, presented by Steinbach Credit Union, has officially wrapped up after five memorable visits across the Southeast. 

Each stop highlighted a different part of agriculture, from sheep and cattle to grain production. Along with meaningful conversations about the season, guests enjoyed meals prepared by the Mennonite Heritage Village, and event sponsors provided prizes for the host farms. 

You can call in to ask host Carla Hrycyna all of your gardening questions live every Saturday morning starting at 9:15am: 1-800-374-3315

This latest Pet of the Day spotlight shines brightly on Lily and her dog Dixie —who are the very definition of sibling energy! Congratulations to Amanda, whose heart-warming photo of these two earned her a prize pack from LR Horse and Pet! 

Lily and Dixie are the same age and share a bond that’s as real as it gets. One minute, you might catch them arguing like siblings, and the next, they’re hugging it out like best friends.

Amanda’s sweet submission captured the ups, downs, and snuggles that make the pet-human bond so special—and so relatable!
