It's a question that has been on the mind of many in Weyburn...what exactly is going on at Weyburn's City Centre Mall?

The clean-up continues across much of southern Saskatchewan today after an Alberta Clipper blew through on the weekend, producing wind gusts up and over 100 km/h. It was a wicked wind from the west and it caused damage, bring trees down and blowing at least one semi-trailer unit right off the highway.

I had to run some errands on Saturday. It was difficult just opening and closing the car door.

I walked into a business just as an old acquaintance of mine was doing the same.

After battling addiction for years and losing touch with her family, "Maria" (name changed) has finally found a new path to healing and reconnection.

“It’s been seven months since I’ve been sober. Seven months,” Maria says, proudly. “I say it out loud sometimes just to remind myself how far I’ve come.”

Maria’s struggle with addiction took a heavy toll on her life, robbing her of her health and her sense of self, and most painfully, her family. “We’d lost touch for so long that I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see them again,” she says.
