Humboldt Journal

Despite temperatures reaching approximately 30 C a handful of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 28 members, and members of the community participated in Decoration Day at the Veterans’ Section of the Humboldt Public Cemetery on June 4.

Playing in the National Hockey League is no small feat. And that feat was not lost on members of the community as the Humboldt and District Sports Hall of Fame is getting set to induct former NHLer Brad Lauer into the hall.

The effort, the time, the energy, the skill, the training, and the heart that goes into just one 911 call is immense and should not be taken lightly. First off, it should be said that no one should ever prank 911.

Dear Brad Wall, please ignore Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Liberals. Recently the Ontario Liberal Party announced they were going to increase minimum wage in Ontario to $14 an hour in 2018 and $15 an hour in 2019. That to me seems a little excessive.

The summer may mean no hockey, but it does not mean coaches, managers, and scouts aren’t working, especially with last week’s Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Bantam Draft.

With summer in full swing coaches, managers and scouts from each of the 12 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League teams were still hard at work as they recently completed the 2017 SJHL bantam draft.

Graduations are a time to celebrate success, yet there was another purpose why people gathered at Cumberland College’s Nipawin grad: to remember. Brenda Bakken received a posthumous bachelor of education degree.

There was no way anybody would finish this run clean or dry – but they did come out of it looking colourful. The Nipawin Rotary hosted their second annual colour run at the Nipawin Regional Park June 3.

A Harper-era cabinet minister dropped by Nipawin as part of a tour to see the home of his political hero.
