As the 2025-26 academic year gets underway, Carlton Trail College is welcoming students back to its campuses with a renewed focus on innovation, accessibility, and student support. 

Local artisans continue to keep crafting and cooking traditions alive in an era where consumers can pick up most anything their hearts desire. Practitioners of traditional arts keep their passions alive by passing them on to new generations. 

The Humboldt and District Museum is playing an important part in preserving those traditions by hosting Heritage Skills Revival Day at the Museum on Saturday, September 6 from 1:30 – 4:00 pm. 

Saskatchewan workers will get a bit of a boost, and their employers will gain more clarity as new legislation governing the workplace is enacted in the province in the coming year. The Saskatchewan Employment Act will see amendments come into effect on January 1, 2026.   

Some of the amendments draw clear lines around employee rights and benefits while others provide flexibility and clearer communication for both parties, which hopefully leads to fewer workplace conflicts. 

There’s a fresh energy around the Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) football program this fall as the Mohawks prepare to launch into their 2025 campaign on Thursday.

With a younger roster and a competitive mindset already in place, Head Coach Eric Anderson is confident his team is ready to make some noise this season.

“This is the best attendance we’ve had at practice in a while,” said Anderson. “Everyone’s been showing up. No one’s missing. That’s a great sign early on.”

Scammers are at it again when it comes to using likenesses of political figures to endorse product investments that are unregistered. This time, the scam involves Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. 

The service in question is an online investment platform called AllRealGroup, which also goes by the name of AllReal Investments Pty Ltd, according to the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA).  

It looks like India is thinking about implementing an import duty on yellow peas. 

India Pulses and Grains Association is concerned that an increase in yellow pea production in Canada and Russia could result in more imports.

They say ongoing imports have brought down prices, which could discourage Indian farmers from expanding their own pulse production.

The IPGA says in order to raise the price of yellow peas in the domestic market, they are calling on the Indian government to impose a 30 to 40 per cent import duty.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program, arguing it has caused an employment crisis among young Canadians.

"The Liberals have to answer why is it that they're shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage, temporary foreign workers from poor countries who are ultimately being exploited," Poilievre told a news conference Wednesday morning in Mississauga, Ont.

"We want Canadian workers to have Canadian jobs. We want to bring back high wages."

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet will meet behind closed doors for a second day in a row today, as the Liberal government prepares for Parliament's return in a little under two weeks.

Cabinet is discussing efforts to spur industrial investment, refocus Ottawa's spending priorities for the coming fall budget and counter U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The federal government is expected in October to table Carney's first budget since taking office.
