A revitalized Saskatoon Senior Baseball League (SSBL) is wrapping up one of its most dynamic seasons in recent memory, with a renewed focus on youth engagement, digital modernization, and long-term sustainability. Leading the charge behind the scenes is newly appointed treasurer Thomas Lessmeister, who is helping usher in a new era of growth and community involvement. 

Residents of Muenster gathered in the school gymnasium, much as they had done two years earlier in the community hall, to take stock of the completed and planned works undertaken, based on the original community planning project.

Harvest is moving forward in the Humboldt region, with 27 per cent of crops now combined. Progress varies locally, with census divisions ranging from 24 to 31 per cent complete.

Scattered rainfall caused minor delays in parts of the region. Porcupine Plain recorded the highest amount with 18 millimetres, while Arborfield received 16 and Kelvington 13. Most other areas saw less than a centimetre of precipitation, and some fields received none at all.

Harvest season is in full swing, and this week’s Meal in the Field took us near Plunkett, where the Dale family farm has been operating since 1979.

The family-run operation is now in its third and fourth generations, with a fifth already getting a head start, Jeff’s young son, who has already taken a turn at the combine.

The Dale's manage about 5,000 acres of land and 500 head of cattle, keeping them busy year-round.

We grow just about everything, they explained. “We need feed for cattle and grain to sell. So, it’s canola, wheat, oats a bit of everything.”

Canada's ministers of finance and procurement have given officials in charge of most federal contracting 45 days to come up with a plan to review all existing and planned federal contracts to find ways to save money.

The directive made by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Public Works and Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound is the latest cost-savings directive from the federal cabinet as Prime Minister Mark Carney looks to cut government operating spending by 15 per cent over the next three years.

The five players acquitted in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial can return to the NHL when their suspensions end "no sooner" than Dec. 1, the NHL announced Thursday.

The players, who are all unrestricted free agents, can sign with a team on Oct. 15 as they wait for full reinstatement.

Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart were all charged with one count of sexual assault stemming from an encounter with a woman after a 2018 gala celebrating the world junior team's gold medal. All five pleaded not guilty when the trial opened in April.

Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada has updated its National Drought Monitor Map now that the stats are in from August (2025).

Trevor Hadwen, an agroclimate specialist with AAFC says drought conditions improved throughout western Canada; however, eastern Canada saw conditions deteriorate significantly. 

With the regular season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League beginning a week from tomorrow, the Humboldt Broncos made a move on Thursday.

In return, the Broncos received a Player Development Fee.
