Humboldt

US-produced alcohol is making its way back into Saskatchewan stores as the province has rescinded the earlier ban on beer and liquor products. The ban was put in place as a response to a 25 per cent steel and aluminum tariff on Canadian imports.

Now the ban is coming off, and the provincial government is sending out a statement to explain the decision:

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) has announced it lifted the provincial fire ban yesterday, due to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures across the region.

The lifted ban applies to all Crown lands, provincial parks, and recreation sites located north of the provincial forest boundary up to the Churchill River,including the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.

The Humboldt Broncos added a potential veteran presence to their crease. 

They announced the signing of 2005-born goaltender Charlie Tritt for the upcoming season.

A 20-year-old Vancouver product, Tritt will enter his final season of junior eligibility. He spent the most of the last three seasons with the Langley Rivermen of the BCHL.

Tritt, listed at 6’1, posted a 7-6-2 record with the Rivermen last season, with a 3.99 GAA, and .889 SV%.

A proactive patrol by Melfort RCMP on Saturday, June 14 led to the arrest of a wanted man and the seizure of drugs, weapons, and cash from a local residence.

Officers were patrolling the city when they spotted 32-year-old Tyler Waldner, a Melfort resident known to be wanted on an outstanding warrant, outside a home on Stovel Avenue. Waldner was taken into custody without incident.

While making the arrest, police observed drug trafficking paraphernalia in plain view, prompting further investigation.

Researchers with The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto say they want the federal government to reveal more about the information-sharing implications of the bill due to a possible risk to human rights.

Rain and cooler temperatures brought relief to fire-ravaged Manitoba and Saskatchewan Monday, allowing fire bans to be reduced and more evacuees to go home.

The weather helped fire crews get an upper hand in parts of northern Manitoba to clear the way for some of the 21,000 or more evacuees to start returning home.

David Monias, chief of Pimicikamak Cree Nation, reposted video of heavy rainfall on social media along with video of small planes leaving Winnipeg with evacuees who were forced out almost three weeks earlier.

Much needed precipitation fell from the skies on Saturday throughout Saskatchewan, as it turns out the Humboldt area was in the centre of the storm activity.  

Crawford Luke, Meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada said 10-20 mm of rain fell around Humboldt through the weekend, with most of the rainfall coming on Saturday.
