Humboldt

If you’re staying in town this August long weekend, Humboldt’s Water Tower Carnival is bringing the fun to you—with a splash of lake-inspired excitement. 

Set against the iconic backdrop of the Humboldt Water Tower, the event promises a full day of water-themed carnival games and activities for all ages. Highlights include a treasure hunt, a juggling workshop, and performances by a roving circus arts entertainer. Visitors can also check out fire trucks up close with a special visit from Humboldt Fire Department. 

Open Farm Days is an annual event, which launched last year, designed to share Saskatchewan agriculture stories by bringing people together through educational and experiential agricultural-based initiatives. The idea is to learn more about where your food comes from.   

The 15U AAA East Central Dodgers are in the Queen City this weekend as they compete in the 15U AAA Tier 2 Provincial Championships.  

Following a regular season record 12-20, the Dodgers will be one of five teams competing for the Tier 2 Championship.  

On Friday afternoon, they open the tournament against the Swift Current 57’s at 1:00. 

The move is part of the Canola Council of Canada's new strategic framework, 'Canola Forward: A Strategic Framework for 2025-2030.'

The news came in a press release announcing the new framework. Chris Davison, president & CEO, says the framework is focused on priorities identified by the Canadian canola industry and is aligned to help the industry seize emerging opportunities while navigating changing industry and trade dynamics.

The August heat is nothing compared to the pressure cooker the Saskatchewan Roughriders are about to step into—a six-game stretch that could define their position in the Canadian Football League (CFL) standings. 

During that stretch, the Roughriders will meet the Montreal Alouettes twice, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Calgary Stampeders and their traditional home-and-home matchup with their prairie rivals, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  

Our Moo for Meat contest is in full swing and all you have to do is listen for our sound of the cow.

If you hear our friendly bovine mooing text us 'meat' for your chance to win! 

Congrats to this week's winner Lorilee Bentley.

You can enter in multiple times, every time you hear to moo, but you can only win once.

Name That Tune today was classic 90's and early 2000's.

Leanne was our contestant today and she played it safe. 

Listen to our conversation below. 

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.

With the August long weekend signifying the midpoint of summer, many residents in Saskatchewan will be hitting the road over the next few days, visiting lakes, golf courses and other summer destinations in the province.  

Regardless of what vehicle you’re operating this weekend, SGI is reminding the public whether it be of a boat, an ATV, an e-scooter or a golf cart—ensure you’re sober. Being impaired and driving is a potentially deadly combination.  

Dry conditions in the Humboldt region allowed producers to make significant progress with haying this week, while cooler temperatures provided some relief for flowering crops. However, with a stretch of heat looming, producers are hoping for rain soon to support crop yields, encourage hayland regrowth, and improve pastures for livestock. 

A disturbing trend has been escalating on rural roads in the province. 

Saskatchewan RCMP officers responded to 77 fatal collisions that resulted in 88 deaths last year. 

Injuries resulting from collisions also increased as there were 271 collisions involving serious injuries in 2024, up 43 per cent from the previous year. These collisions resulted in 321 people seriously injured, up 48 per cent from the previous year.
