Winnipeg drivers are reminded to take it easy as school zone speed limits come back into effect on September 1.

While kids don't begin the return to the classroom until next week school zone speed limits begin at 7 a.m. on September 1.

School zones are marked with a yellow sign on top of a white sign showing a speed limit of 30 km/h.

The reduced speed is in effect from 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday - Friday and remains in effect through the end of June.

Going 15 km/h over the speed limit in a school zone will cost you $250, according to the WPS.

The Estevan Humane Society is raising the stakes in this year's Annual Judy Martin Memorial Duck Derby.

The non-profit organization runs a yearly 'duck derby' where toy ducks, bought by people in the community, are dropped into the Souris River. The first duck to cross the finish line yields a cash prize for its owner worth half the money raised.

Board of Directors President Tayja Lakusta joined Lyle McGillivray on the Big Breakfast Show, and said that there could be a nice chunk of change for this year's winner.

Psalm 95:6-7

Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice.

Motorists on a busy Winnipeg roadway should be aware of a big speed limit change coming soon.

The City of Winnipeg is lowering the speed limit along Fermor Ave. from Dunkirk. Dr. to St. Mary's Rd. to 60 km/h, down from the current 70 km/h.

The change comes after St. Vital councillor Brian Mayes put forward a motion calling for the change in the winter. At the time, Mayes said that residents wanted the change for safety reasons.

That stretch of Fermor Ave. passes by Glenlawn Collegiate, a YMCA, as well as the St. Vital library.
