Heading into our peak severe weather season in the Canadian prairies we have seen quite a few tornado warnings issued in the province. But how common is it to get tornadoes in Saskatchewan? Saskatchewan averages around 14-18 confirmed tornadoes a year, with fluctuations from year to year. 2023 saw a record low at only 1 confirmed tornado and 2012 saw a record high of 33 confirmed tornados.

Lightning Safety 

You’ve likely heard the adage “When thunder roars, go indoors!” But why is this adage so important to listen to? According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Each year lightning kills two to three Canadians and injures approximately 180 others. When you can hear thunder, you're within striking distance of lightning. 

The Swift Current Curling Club has one of the top facilities in Saskatchewan, so it is no surprise many talented curlers call this rink home. It was at this facility where I met with local curler Kelly Schafer who will be representing Saskatchewan at the upcoming Scotties Tournament of Hearts on February 17-26th in Kamloops.
