Humboldt

The end of last week was a tough one on moose and motorists with no fewer than five motor vehicle collisions with moose throughout the province within thirty minutes. 

A release from Saskatchewan RCMP cautions motorists following the five collisions being reported to the Divisional Operations Communications Centre. The collisions occurred in the vicinity of Hudson Bay, Rose Valley, Prince Albert, Melfort/Kinistino and Southey areas on Friday, November 8 between 6:20 and 6:45 pm. 

Tomorrow is the day voters in the Horizon School Division go to the polls to select their Trustee members for the Board. While a number of Trustees have been decided through acclamation, there are subdivisions where the Board is counting on strong voter turnout.  

One such subdivision is Number 7, which covers the communities of Archerwill, Rose Valley and Kelvington and their surrounding areas. Two candidates are vying for the position.  

The final date to vote for the civic election is Wednesday November 13, 2024, by 8pm. Voters can head to Westminster United Church, Humboldt Legion, or the Uniplex convention centre to cast their votes.

If you missed the profiles on the individuals here is one last look at who's running for this year's civic election. 

Here are the Mayoral candidates:

The Humboldt Broncos brought a split decision from the road back home after a pair of weekend games.  

Boris Kofman secured a shootout victory for the Broncos on Saturday against the Millionaires in Melville. The Broncos were plagued by penalties leaving them in a couple 5 on 3 situations, but they powered through a penalty ridden affair that saw goaltender Brady Holtvogt shine turning away 31 of 33.  

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has given 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post.

The notice is for both the union's urban and rural bargaining units.

In a release early Tuesday morning, the union says workers will be in a legal strike position as of Friday if negotiated settlements have not been reached.

However, the union says its national executive board has yet to decide if a job action will happen at the deadline, saying that will depend on Canada Post's actions at the bargaining table in the coming days.

Canadians gathered Monday in cities and towns across the country to honour the sacrifice of men and women in uniform who gave their lives in service of the country's values and principles.

Here are some scenes from Remembrance Day ceremonies across Canada.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) held its annual lobby day in Ottawa on Oct. 22., 2024.

CFA President Keith Currie was pleased with the result.

"We obtained just over 40 meetings with elected Senate office staff, ministerial staff. It was, we felt, a very successful lobby day and then we copped it off at the end of the day with a reception. We had nearly 250 people attending, elected, and people from the Senate and industry stakeholders. All in all a very good day."

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay also provided remarks.

An echoing peal of cannon fire signalled the start of a moment of silence in St. John's, N.L., and throngs of people along the city's two main downtown streets fell quiet and bowed their heads.

Following this week’s U.S. presidential election, questions are coming up about what sort of an impact could happen north of the border, particularly here in Saskatchewan. One of the proposed policies President-elect Donald Trump suggested during the election campaign was a broad 10 per cent tariff on all imports no matter the destination.
