With the sudden downfall of snow, the City of Humboldt crews are out addressing drifted areas to facilitate movement around the City. 

“The night shift will begin tonight with a focus on downtown (including downtown sidewalks and downtown alleys), as well as all priority 1 and 2 locations not requiring windrowing. They will then be back tomorrow night to pick up all of the downtown windrows,” stated the City in a release. 

The City of Humboldt asks residents on the 700 blocks of 9th Street and 7th Street to move their vehicles off the street. 

A special group was in the house for the Humboldt Broncos’ Emergency Responders game. Members of the Nipawin First Responders were on hand for a 2nd period intermission puck drop raising funds for the Nipawin Hospital Heliport Project Fundraiser.  

It was a special night at the Humboldt Bronco game on Saturday, February 24 as the Broncos came together with the community to honour emergency services personnel at the Emergency Responders Appreciation Evening. Emergency personnel were given free admission and the evening held special surprises. 

All busses for Humboldt running to the Catholic Schools are cancelled for the afternoon.

Another fast paced, end-to-end effort for the Humboldt Broncos on Saturday with a strong outing against the La Ronge Ice Wolves resulting in a 6-3 Bronco victory.  

The Ice Wolves struck first at 4:33 in the first. The Broncos returned the favour with a goal at the midway point as the two teams scored alternating goals throughout the first. Ice Wolves’ Cole Thomas took advantage of a power play situation, but Travis Bryson got great positioning over Wolves’ goalie Eric Kahl to tie it up. 

One day after renewed job sanctions were announced by the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation, the organization representing the province’s teachers in their contract dispute announced further actions for Tuesday, February 27. Some of those actions will impact Humboldt and area schools. Withdrawal of noon hour supervision and extracurricular activities will affect Horizon Division schools, but not Catholic schools in Humboldt. 

With teachers and students heading back to the classrooms after the February break, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation has announced the next job action which will impact all Saskatchewan Schools on the day schools are back in session, Monday, February 26. 

Traditionally, entering the field of medical sonography has meant that Saskatchewan trainees must cross provincial borders for their education. Now, Suncrest College in eastern Saskatchewan will be the first post-secondary institution in the province to offer an advanced diploma in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. The program will be offered at Suncrest’s Yorkton campus beginning this fall.
