The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) has concluded its 2025 June Division Meetings after covering more than 2,200 kilometres and visiting all six divisions across the province.

Saskatchewan RCMP are reminding the public that boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs can come with the same serious consequences as impaired driving on the road.

“Boat operators found to be impaired can face the same penalties as impaired drivers,” said Cpl. Jamie Diemert, coordinator of the RCMP’s Underwater Recovery Team. “Whether you’re sailing on Last Mountain Lake, pontooning on Lake Diefenbaker, or paddling the Churchill River, we want all boat operators and passengers to stay safe and sober.”

Saskatchewan MLA Doug Steele says he was concerned for a woman’s safety but never contacted police, even as concerns mounted around her immigration status, working conditions and alleged mistreatment by her employers.

Steele testified this week in a human trafficking trial involving two accused men, Mohammad Masum and Sohel Haider, both arrested in June 2023. Masum faces additional charges of sexual assault. The complainant’s identity is protected by a publication ban.
