Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ukraine should be allowed to strike deep inside Russia, regardless of Moscow threatening that this would draw Canada and its allies into direct war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that the NATO military alliance would draw itself into war if it allows Ukraine to use donated weapons to make long-range strikes inside Russia.

His comments come five weeks after Ukrainian forces stormed the border and put parts of Russian territory under foreign occupation for the first time since the Second World War.

It will be a chance to bridge new connections within our community over a series of events. 

The Humboldt Regional Newcomer Centre will be holding their Welcome Week, beginning tonight and will have a series of events planned over the next week.  

Humboldt City Councillor Rob Muench is throwing his hat back in the ring as a mayoral candidate.  

Four years ago, Muench stepped away from the chair, retaining a seat as a councillor. After some assessment, he says it’s time to seek the mayor’s position again at a critical time of growth for Humboldt.  

The encouragement of a number of Humboldt residents prompted Muench to declare his intention in a social media post.  

A misty, murky noon hour didn’t put a damper on Olymel’s Giving Back Together barbecue fundraiser. The chefs braved the weather, flipping pork souvlaki burgers provided by Drake Meats, while diners gathered inside the Olymel building to enjoy the noon hour feast.  

“It doesn’t deter anyone from coming out to this great fundraiser,” said Casey Smit, VP with Olymel. “It’s our eighth year of doing this, and we’re pretty excited.” 

107.5 Bolt FM had the pleasure of visiting the Wuchner farm for Week 4 of Meal in the Field. The Wuchner family, with roots dating back to 1911, continues to cultivate the land with dedication and pride.

When asked about the current harvest, Warren Wuchner shared, "We’re about 30% done, and it’s been fairly smooth sailing with good weather."

This year, the Wuchners are harvesting their usual crops—wheat, canola, and soft wheat, a tradition that reflects over a century of farming expertise.
