The sizzling Septembers continue to make its presence felt in Saskatchewan, with another record-breaking day in the province on Monday. 

Nipawin was the hot spot in both Saskatchewan and across the country at 35.8 degrees.

Original Humboldt, located 8 km west of Humboldt just off Highway 5, has a wealth of stories, many of which have been unearthed by archeological digs and preservation of its artifacts and history.  

Humboldt and area residents have a wonderful opportunity to explore the site on a guided tour happening on Thursday evening, September 12.  

Last weekend I was at the beach with my husband and my two boys. My two-year-old and I were digging a hole, trying to dig it deep enough that water would come in on its own. Things were going fairly well until my two-year-old, trying to speed up the process, started filling his bucket with lake water and dumping it into the hole, pushing extra sand into the hole in the process. I continued scooping sand out but each time he came to look at what I was doing, he inevitably pushed more sand in. Even though the sand was easy to move, it couldn't hold up.

NDP Leader Carla Beck is concerned about the cost of living and the mounting financial pressures on many Saskatchewan families. That’s why she’s determined to put a stall on the province gas tax of 15 cents per litre on Day 1 of her government’s tenure should the NDP take this fall’s provincial election.

New Democrats are huddling in Montreal to strategize a new path forward ahead of the fall parliamentary session — one that doesn't include the Liberals at their hips and ideally makes them a credible alternative to the Conservatives at the next election.

The three-day caucus retreat kicking off Tuesday comes less than a week after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced the end of the supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals. 

It's also taking place in one of the two cities where the NDP is hoping to win a byelection on Sept. 16. 

The family of a 15-year-old girl who was lit on fire at a Saskatoon high school has asked people to wear purple Tuesday when classes resume. 

“It is her favourite colour,” the girl’s grandmother said in an interview.  

“It’s going to be a very long recovery, and we’ve put it out there just to let her know that people are thinking of her and praying for her.”

Students are to return to Evan Hardy Collegiate on Tuesday, where last week a witness said the girl had liquid from a black canister poured onto her head which was then lit on fire.
