A 25-year-old man from Brampton, Ont., faces more than a dozen charges after RCMP say he attempted to flee police in a series of stolen vehicles near Maidstone last week.

On Aug. 26 around 2:10 p.m., Saskatchewan RCMP traffic officers responded to reports of an erratic driver on Highway 16 west of Maidstone. Police say the vehicle sped away when officers attempted a traffic stop, driving into and out of ditches before becoming disabled on a grid road.

SaskPower is facing a $136-million loss in the first three months of the 2025-26 fiscal year, prompting warnings from Saskatchewan’s NDP that residents may see increases on their electricity bills.

A line of powerful storms that ripped through Alberta and Saskatchewan on Aug. 20 caused widespread wind and hail damage, including at least one confirmed tornado, according to the Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP).

At 9:15 p.m., officers located the suspect at a local residence and arrested him without further incident.

Eligible Saskatchewan communities can now submit applications for funding under the Provincial-Territorial stream of the Canadian Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), the government announced Thursday. Applications are due by Nov. 28, 2025.

CHIF provides financial support to help communities build or improve critical infrastructure, including drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste systems, which in turn supports additional housing development across the province.
