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

Can you imagine the weight of 18 tonnes of truck and 20 tonnes of excavator? 

To put this immense amount into perspective, the combined weight of the machinery is equivalent to about 22 cars. Picturing this number, however, was likely far from Sean Rickards' mind as he found himself crushed between the two pieces of equipment. 

“I was broken within a millimetre of my life,” he said afterwards.  

Family is the fuel that powers this team of vintage snowmobiles.

Dustin Vipond grew up watching his father drag race vintage sleds, and now he drag races them himself with his wife and daughter. With four sleds in the lineup for this past year, plenty of new hardware was brought in by the old iron.

Friday on the Country 94.1 Morning Show, Swift Current Mayor Al Bridal stopped by to have a candid discussion about the 2025 Municipal Budget.

We went over a number of topics, including the tax increase of 2.71%, and what that means for the citizens of Swift Current. What will the community see from the increase? Additionally, there is the new recreation levy of $140 that is charged to ratepayers in the city. It roughly averages out to a little over $11 per month. With this levy, how much will be put away on an annual basis, and will it continue once the pool is in place?

College students choose service over fun for spring break, assist in hurricane recovery efforts

After Hurricane Helene devastated thousands of people in North Carolina, over a hundred young adults have chosen to help clean up during their spring break rather than take a holiday. 

Cru campus ministry has sent out 150 volunteers to areas in North Carolina, including Ashville, a town that was unexpectedly almost washed out after Hurricane Helene six months ago. 

Sixteen13 Ministry, a local organization dedicated to helping individuals in need, has announced a series of upcoming events aimed at bringing the community together through music and faith-based encouragement. Vice President Tiffany Krahn shared details on three major events happening in the coming months, all designed to raise funds and awareness for the ministry’s work.

Looking for exciting activities to keep the kids entertained during spring break? The South Central Regional Library Winkler Branch has you covered with a jam-packed week of free, engaging programs from April 1st to April 5th!

A week of creativity and fun

"We are ready to party!" says Britany Morgan, Winkler Library Clerk and Programmer for South Central Regional Library. With a different activity planned every day, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Welcome back to Made in Manitoba, and the final weekend of our month-long series showcasing Manitoba artists and performers nominated for 2025 Juno awards. Those awards are being handed out in Vancouver, with the big event Sunday night. We wrap up our special series with a return visit from Morden born Loreena McKennitt.

Our Classroom of the Month for March is teacher Madison LaClaire and her Grade 6 class at Westmount Elementary School. 

According to LaClaire, the class had been waiting all week for the celebration.

"It was really fun to see them really excited for the pizza, we've been talking about it all week."

The class was surprised with slices from Boston Pizza and prizes from Encore Elevator.

This is LaClaire's first year teaching in Strathmore, and she said she's loving it.

"It's great to be in a small community."
