The Victoria Day long weekend typically marks the start of summer vacation plans for many across the province, but the Saskatchewan RCMP is asking the public to be mindful of restrictions related to COVID-19.

Saskatchewan has eight new confirmed cases of COVID-19, as of May 15, bringing the provincial total to 590, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health said Friday. All of the new cases are the far north, with five in La Loche and three in Beauval.

A member of the Saskatchewan RCMP’s emergency response team (ERT) was shot and injured during an incident near Biggar on Thursday night.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken aim at every aspect of our way of living.

Quarantine has closed all lounges and casinos, thus leaving gambling addicted people with hardly any options to feed their habits.

It’s the day that the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course has been waiting for, and as it turns out, local golfers were eager for it, too.

The City of Estevan is reminding the public that its animal control bylaw requires owners to care for their animals in specific ways, including cleaning up after them.

Premier Scott Moe announced Thursday the province will get a head-start on phase two of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan for the long weekend, with golf courses and drive-in theaters being able to open May 15.

The City of Estevan is in the process of transitioning to a new utility billing notification system. The new system allows residents to log in to an online portal and have access to their utility bills.

COVID-19 testing will soon be available to any Saskatchewan resident working outside the home, particularly those returning to work as part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan.
