After an extended period of well above average temperatures for this time of year and daytime highs consistently 5 to 7 degrees warmer than usual over the past two weeks, a significant pattern change to colder temperatures and the first shot of accumulating snow may be coming this week for southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The Village of Richmound has rallied its surrounding communities to come together last weekend with one message: they want Romana Didulo and her followers to leave.

On October 15, the Village invited folks from all across southwest Saskatchewan to come to their ballpark, adjacent to the former Richmound School. There, they organized a protest to encourage Didulo and her 'Kingdom of Canada' zealots to pack up and hit the road.

On Friday, the Government of Saskatchewan officially announced they passed the "Parents' Bill of Rights" and invoked the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Government believes this works to protect the important role that parents and guardians have in supporting their children.

A community south of The Pas, Man., is now without a building for its daycare, leaving 20 children now in a temporary facility.

The Manitoba RCMP says in a release that emergency crews were called on October 18, 2023, at approximately 7:50 pm, to a structure fire at the daycare centre on Airport Road in Chemawawin Cree Nation.

Officers responded immediately and the local fire department was already on scene battling the blaze. It was quickly determined nobody was believed to be inside the building.

Providence University College's campus will now stretch from the outskirts of the village of Otterburne, Man., to downtown Winnipeg.

Debate continues over the Saskatchewan government's intention to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause to push through the Parental Bill of Rights, which would require parents' or guardians' permission for transgender or nonbinary students younger than 16 wishing to use different names or pronouns at school.

Student walkouts happened Tuesday in Regina in protest of the proposed law.

A new parkade on the Regina General Hospital is expected to increase the number of parking stalls by 686.

Construction is underway on the new parkade, which is being built in the northwest portion of the existing visitor lot.
