Liberal Leader Mark Carney will be campaigning in Nepean today, the Ottawa riding where he is seeking election.

Carney, who has not yet served as an MP, is expected to meet with volunteers in the riding at 10 a.m.

Carney has faced questions about his decision to run in Nepean, which became vacant only after the Liberal party ousted MP Chandra Arya as its candidate three days before the election was called.

With a federal election on the horizon, agriculture organizations are taking a look at some of the actions they want to see for the future.

For the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, they've been calling for changes to be put forward for the Carbon Tax, which has seen the consumer side recently come off.

Vice-President Chris Procyk says he hopes to see that continue to be a policy point for all federal parties in the upcoming election.

Home cooking has been the recipe for success in the series between the Humboldt Broncos and Flin Flon Bombers.  

Through the first four games, the home squad has won each contest as the Broncos will try and break that trend on Saturday night at the Whitney Forum.  

After their second straight overtime win on Wednesday night, Associate Coach Carter Hansen said the pressure falls back to the Bombers. 

It's going to be a difficult trek with travelling throughout the rest of the day and into the weekend. 

 Snowfall began yesterday and has carried over into today, creating slippery conditions on the roads along with reduced visibility.  

Environment Canada’s Stephen Berg says the snowfall will ease later tonight.

That awesome combination of bingo and badminton is back at Humboldt Collegiate. The event is a fundraising effort by the school’s French group and goes from 11:30 – 4:30 on Saturday, April 5 at the Collegiate commons area and the gym.

The USask Huskies men’s volleyball team has been in rebuilding mode for a number of years, and those efforts have paid off, thanks in part to recruitment of strong candidates like Humboldt’s own Jay Eichorst. This year, Eichorst contributed to the strongest finish for the Huskies in USport volleyball in years. The club took the bronze medal at USport nationals, hosted by Brandon University last weekend.
