Summer Fun in Yorkton

One of the groups most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are seniors. They are more at risk due to the virus, but are also more likely to suffer from isolation due to the restrictions surrounding the virus.

There are five new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on July 14, bringing the total to 876 cases. Three of the new cases are in the Central region, one in the Saskatoon region and one in the Regina region.

The Ministry of Corrections and Policing is providing $330,000 to the City of Yorkton for policing initiatives. The funding is being provided through the Municipal Police Grants program for three existing Yorkton RCMP positions in 2020-21.

It was just the sort of day local storm hunter Ryan Crouse dreams of. On Sunday, (July 12), there was a warning of tornadoes and a storm between Yorkton and Melville, and he went looking.

With COVID-19 restrictions easing people are getting out and having some summer fun. Friday, Yorkton’s Darcy Zaharia took the family to visit the petting zoo at Canora Beach on Good Spirit Lake.

The wonderful weather Saturday was perfect for a horse ride. So, that is exactly what Kristina, Jillian and Emma Just did for some morning relaxation on their farm west of Yorkton.

The first evening of Yorkton’s new Sidewalk Concert Series was held last night (Thursday).
