Fight over alcohol
On Dec. 2, the Canora/Sturgis RCMP were dispatched to a disturbance involving three people fighting inside a residence in Canora.

Could have been much worse
The Canora/Sturgis RCMP were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision on Highway No. 5 east of Canora on Dec. 5. Police attended the scene and learned an SUV lost control on snow and ice and then drove into the ditch. The driver and passenger in the vehicle were OK and only a tow was required.

Snow feud
The Canora/Sturgis RCMP were dispatched on Dec. 6 to a report of neighbours in Canora feuding over snow, yet again. It was alleged one neighbour was pushing snow onto the other neighbour’s driveway at night and pouring water on it to turn it to ice.
Child endangerment
On Dec. 7, a woman from Brandon attended Yorkton Provincial Court and pled guilty to assault with a weapon, impaired driving, and child endangerment, and was sentenced to nine months in jail. The charges were from an incident that occurred on June 29, when Canora/Sturgis RCMP members were dispatched to a complaint of an SUV ramming a car on Norway Road in Canora. Police arrested the woman on scene and she was found to be under the influence of methamphetamine. A one-year-old child was located in the front passenger seat of the vehicle she was driving.
