launches annual gift card drive

FAHLMAN DENIED BAIL

David Willberg SaskToday.ca

Chris Fahlman has been denied bail.

The 42-year-old Regina man is charged with fatally shooting Tanya Myers, a 44-year-old Weyburn woman, on Highway 39 near Weyburn in September. A show-cause hearing was held November 19 and 20 in Court of King’s Bench in Weyburn. After two days of testimony, evidence, crossexamination and arguments, Justice Michael Morris reserved his decision, but now he has ruled Fahlman will remain in custody.

The evidence, arguments and other information presented during the hearing, as well as the judge’s reasons for denying bail, are covered by a publication ban.

The hearing was moved to Court of King’s Bench from Provincial Court because Fahlman is facing a murder charge. His previous appearances were in provincial court and his case is due to return to Weyburn Provincial Court on December 9.

Envision Counselling and Support Centre launched its annual Gift Card Campaign on Giving Tuesday, December 2. Donations will be accepted throughout the month of December.

This year, the campaign receives an extra boost from Twine & Twig in Weyburn, who have generously included Envision in their annual 24 in 24 Holiday Challenge.

“This campaign shows how small acts of generosity can ripple outward,” said Raven Daer, Communications Specialist. “Our clients often arrive with urgent needs. A single gift card can help someone put food on the table, make it to a counselling appointment, or keep their children warm. It’s a simple gesture that can restore dignity, comfort, and a bit of hope during a difficult time.”

Each year, the Gift Card Campaign supports individuals and families across southeast Saskatchewan who are facing financial strain, crisis, or transition. Rising living costs continue to create added pressure for many households, and gift cards help fill essential gaps — whether for groceries, warm clothing, holiday necessities, or fuel.

These gift cards are simple yet so powerful, as they provide great relief in difficult times. Daer mentioned that last year alone, Envision gave out over $6,800 worth of gift cards to individuals in crisis and in need, which is why this annual campaign and replenishment are crucial to the agency and the individuals they support.

“When someone reaches out for help after leaving a violent or unsafe situation, they’re often starting from the ground up. Being able to offer a gift card in that moment gives them the power to choose what they need most — whether that’s groceries, warm clothing, hygiene items, or essentials for their children. It’s more than assistance; it’s a reminder that their community is standing with them as they rebuild,” Daer explained further.

Gift cards empower individuals with autonomy, dignity, and the ability to make decisions that fit their unique needs.

Three Ways to Give:

Community members can support the Gift Card Campaign in three easy ways:

• Drop off a Gift Card at Envision offices (Please call ahead): Estevan: 306-637-4004/

Weyburn: 306-842-8821 /Carlyle: 306-4532405.

• Mail a Gift Card to: Envision Counselling & Support Centre Inc. Box 511, Estevan, SK, S4A 2A5

• Donate Online: Visit https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/140560 and select “Gift Card” or “Greatest Needs Fund” to support families directly. (Envision will purchase and distribute gift cards on your behalf.)

Envision encourages donations of cards from retailers offering food and fuel such as Walmart, Co-op, President’s Choice, Esso, etc. Donations over $25 are eligible for charitable receipts.

“We are deeply grateful to our communities and to our partners who continue to go above and beyond in supporting us and our mission,” said Daer. “Your kindness has a direct and immediate impact on the well-being of families right here at home. You are making a difference.”

Fahlman is charged with one count each of seconddegree murder and intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person.

He had been charged with one count each of manslaughter with a firearm, careless use of a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and occupying a motor vehicle knowing there is a firearm inside. Those charges have been stayed.

Fahlman has been in custody since his arrest in early November.

According to the RCMP, Myers was a passenger in one of two vehicles struck by bullets while travelling on Highway 39 on September 12. RCMP say Fahlman and Myers were not known to each other.

City sells vacant lots at discount, sparking debate Community News

Sara Parks SaskToday.ca

City council voted 5-2 to sell two fully serviced residential lots for a fraction of their assessed value, a decision that divided councillors over fairness to local builders and the urgent need for new housing.

The lots at 1402 and 1406 Veterans Road, vacant for over 15 years, were sold to buyer Dean McPherson for a combined $82,000 plus taxes. According to a report presented to council, the city’s current listed prices for the properties are approximately $167,579 and

$146,756 respectively, meaning the sale represents a discount of almost 75 per cent.

“The cost of developing the lots has not been recovered by the city and there is a continued cost of maintaining the lots each year,” Shara-Lee Malcolm, the city’s planning and development coordinator told council.

She added that the city recently sold six similar lots on McTaggart Drive at similarly steep discounts ranging from $33,224 to $35,859 plus taxes to encourage construction.

McPherson’s offer, which was recommended by administration, comes with strict conditions. Two single-family homes must be built within two years of permits being issued, with finished driveways and grading. The sale also includes eligibility for the city’s Weyburn Builds tax abatement program, an incentive transferable to the future homeowners.

But the deep discount didn’t sit well with some councilors.

“I struggle with this,” said Councillor Todd Bedore who voted against the motion. “We’ve got many

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND BYLAW 2024-3490 TO AUTHORIZE THE CLOSURE OF A PORTION OF QUEEN STREET

The Council of the City of Weyburn hereby gives notice of its intention to amend Bylaw 2024-3490 which is a Bylaw to Authorize the Closure of a Portion of Queen Street

AND TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the proposed amending Bylaw has been deposited in my office, in the City Hall, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, and may be inspected by any person without payment of any fee between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, holidays excepted, up to Noon on Monday, December 8, 2025.

Intent: It is proposed to amend Bylaw 2024-3490 as follows:

1. Add St/L 3, Plan 71R18860, Parcel 204171870 to be described fully as ORA 56-08-14-2 Ext 0 and St/L 3, Plan 71R18860, Parcel 204171870.

Affected Land: A section of Queen Street legally described as ORA 56-08-14-2 Ext 0.

Reason: The renaming is necessary to register the parcel with Information Services Corporation (ISC).

Public Hearing: Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers of City Hall. Any person that wants to comment on the proposed bylaw amendment is welcome to attend or to submit comments prior to the meeting. Council will consider all comments received.

All written submissions for City Council’s consideration must be forwarded to:

His Worship the Mayor and Members of City Council c/o City Clerk’s Office, City Hall 157 3rd St, Weyburn, SK, S4H2K6

other developers in town that are trying to sell lots. We’re undercutting our citizens that have spent money in our own town.”

Bedore said whether or not the motion passes, moving forward, the city should sell the next 10 lots as a package, adding that the “onesie, twoosie to me just kicks a little sand into the face of some of our developers.”

Councillor Larry Heggs also opposed the sale.

“I just want to be clear that I’m not against it at a retail or a reduced rate, just not at a $40,000 rate,” said Heggs.

Councillor Ryan Janke, however, supported the sale and said the city needs housing starts and isn’t in a position to be saying ‘no’ to anyone right now.

“These lots have been available for a long time and we haven’t received any offers. While I certainly struggle with this I will be supporting it.”

Councillors Laura Morissette, Kellie Sidloski and John Corrigan echoed that sentiment, adding that the city shouldn’t be in the lotsale business and that any move to recoup some

costs and add to the tax base was a step forward.

“We need to start collecting some tax dollars,” said Morissette.

Sidloski said she understands the concerns but the lots are “just sitting there,” and the city has an opportunity to get rid of them.

“For that reason I will be supporting it but I do have hesitation as well,” said Sidloski.

Mayor Jeff Richards agreed saying the vote was “another step forward” in getting the city out of the development business and one that they shouldn’t be in.

Festival of Trees sets record at auction, raising over $127,000

The 26th anniversary edition of the Festival of Trees set a record for the highest amount raised for The Family Place, at the in-person auction of trees last Wednesday evening at the Great Plains Ford auction building.

Enbridge moves to development permit stage

Seven Stars project will play an important role in driving regional economic growth and development.

Commercial wind energy developments – like the Seven Stars Energy Project Enbridge is putting forward for the Weyburn area – are subject to rigorous permitting and regulatory processes at all levels of government before they can proceed. Multiple layers of oversight ensure the project is built and oper-

ated according to applicable laws, standards and regulations.

For the Seven Stars project, development permit approvals are needed from the RM of Weyburn and RM of Griffin.

“We look forward to sharing our plans to develop a project that has evolved significantly over the past

year and a half with input from community members and the RMs,” says Alex McNichol, who’s leading the project for Enbridge. “Having made several modifications to the project since it was first introduced, we remain excited about its potential to provide sustained economic benefits over the next three decades.”

Seven Stars project – key facts

Enbridge is developing a 200-megawatt wind energy facility, utilizing a total of 46 turbines in the RM of Weyburn and RM of Griffin.

The project is being developed in response to increasing demand for electricity in Saskatchewan, with enough energy to support the annual needs of about 100,000 Saskatchewan homes over its anticipated 30year lifespan.

The project covers about 24,000 acres. Just 2.4% of this land will be used during construction – and only 0.2% once the project is operating, leaving landowners able to continue agricultural or other land use activity on more than 98% of their property.

200 at peak periods. Labour spending will be about $75 million. Enbridge has committed to avoiding camps for workers, so the workforce will be staying in local lodging and spending locally at restaurants and other businesses.

Enbridge envisions operating Seven Stars for 30 years, bringing more than $100 million – up to $4 million annually – in estimated economic benefits for the Weyburn region. This includes annual tax revenue the RM can utilize, lease payments to participating landowners, rural road upgrades, employee salaries, third-party contracting for maintenance and upkeep of Enbridge’s office and warehouse facility, and financial support for community-driven programs and initiatives.

Community input has been critical Over the past 16 months, Enbridge has made it a priority to actively listen and respond to feedback from residents and property owners, local businesses and the municipalities.

“A project of this magnitude will have a major effect on our community. The way our economy is right now, with what’s going on in the U.S., we need everything we can get in terms of economic development. We have agriculture and we have oil and gas, but we need something more to counteract tariffs and we need more diversity in our economy.”

Project facilities will be located in proximity to the SaskPower transmission line that runs through the RM. This minimizes the project’s environmental footprint by eliminating the need to construct a lengthy transmission line.

George Siourounis, Owner, Travelodge Weyburn

The turbines, electrical substation and related infrastructure are expected to be entirely situated on private lands on which Enbridge has entered into agreements with 40 different property owners.

Community members voice strong support for the Seven Stars Energy Project.

“We remain committed to open communication and collaboration,” says McNichol. “Robust engagement has led to an innovative wind power development that aligns with community values and priorities and will help meet Saskatchewan’s future energy needs.”

Modifications to the project based on feedback during community engagement include:

“Weyburn has a proud history of pioneering transformative projects…This project will move forward somewhere—let’s ensure Weyburn is the beneficiary rather than turning investment away.”

Council to rename portion of Queen St.

Sara Parks

SaskToday.ca

In a move one councillor likened to a potential “April Fool’s Day Joke,” Weyburn City council gave initial approval to a bylaw amendment to change the official name of a closed strip of Queen Street.

During its regular meeting on November 24, council gave first reading to the bylaw. The original bylaw, passed in January 2024, permanently closed the portion of Queen Street between Highway 39 and Regina Avenue.

The need for the new bylaw stems from a request from Information Services Corporation (ISC), the land titles administrator, said Renee Cugnet, the city’s director of engineering. She said they sent a request to change the parcel’s identified from PB4 to MB1 because the old designation wasn’t acceptable anymore.

“All subdivision plans had to be resubmitted as well,” said Cugnet.

Councillor Ryan Janke expressed his bewilderment.

“So I don’t fully understand why we’re doing this other than the fact that ISC wants all of their numbers to match,” he said. “Is it because it’s no longer a road access that it has to have a different code in its name?

Because honestly, if you’d sent this to us in April, I would have thought it was an April Fool’s Day joke.”

Cugnet confirmed Janke’s understanding, adding that the change was only administrative due to the consolidation of the parcels of land.

“Yeah. I thought understanding this would make me feel better,” said Janke.

The city will send out public notices and hold and public hearing on December 8 before giving the bylaw final reading.

SE Cornerstone school board resets organizational structure

Submitted by Norm Park, Contracted Reporter for SECPSD

The South East Cornerstone Public School Division trustees got a twofor-one deal during their open business meeting on November 26. Besides their regular board business agenda, board members took a half-hour recess that required more attention, not a coffee break, since it entailed a second session to re-set their organizational structure and committee appointments for another 12 months.

Long serving Chairwoman Audrey Trombley (Sub-division 5 , Fillmore, Stoughton, Midale, Macoun) was re-installed by acclamation while Velda Weatherald (Sub-division 2, Arcola, Carlyle, Manor, Maryfield, Wawota) is the new vice-chairwoman, assuming those duties previously held by Megan Schick (Weyburn).

Once again the trustees decided not to increase the regular pay scale for governance, sticking to their already established rate of $275 for a daily work session or half that amount for sessions of four hours or fewer. Hourly rates for meetings

Crude Oil Prices

in person or conference calls remains at $40.

Travel allowances remained fixed on a formula based on a monthly pump price average while meals purchased at other venues while engaged in SECPSD business will continue to be allocated at $16, $23, and $31 respectively for breakfasts, lunches and suppers. Accommodation rates are paid according to hotel or motel applicable rates or $30 per night for personal over night accommodations.

Various committee appointments were filled during this breakout session and that included:

Audit Committee – Jim Henderson (Sub-division 3, Redvers, Carnduff, Carievale), Kevin Keating (Estevan), Michelle DeBruyne (Sub-division 3,

Ogema, Pangman, Yellow Grass, Radville, Gladmar, Oungre) and board chair.

Board Budget Managers – Trombley and Norma Hewitt-Lendrum (Weyburn).

Ad Hoc – Estevan Facilities – Keating and Craig MacDonald (Estevan) (Board chair ex-officio).

Carlyle Facilities –Weatherald, Tami Scott (sub-division 4, Lampman, Alameda, Oxbow, Bienfait), Devona Putland (Sub-division 1, Rocanville, Wapella, Moosomin) (Board chair –ex-officio).

First Nations – Putland, Weatherald, Trombley.

Governance/Human Resources – Scott, Schick, Putland, MacDonald.

Bargaining – Board chair or Vice-Chair.

Board Evaluations Sum-

maries – Hewitt-Lendrum.

The members also established their meeting dates for the next academic year starting with the December session to be held December 17 followed by a January 21 meeting. The preferred dates remain as a regular second or third Wednesday morning and afternoon call for their Committee-of-the-whole and open business session unless otherwise stipulated due to conflict of interest matters that might interfere with their usual scheduled gathering.

To that end, the monthly sessions in 2026 are arranged for February 11, March 24, April 15, May 20, June 22, September 16, October 14 and once again, November 26 for their regular and organizational sessions.

Editorial & Opinion

FROM THE SIDELINES: Ah, the Good King casting call

Norm Park/SaskToday.ca

Once again I ask readers to harken back a few decades, even if you’re under the age of 50, the story line should still sound familiar.

I mean most of us as kids were subjected to the rigours of putting together something that was supposed to resemble entertainment during the Christmas season. Young students today still go through that process.

In our hometown, it was Mr. Brown, the music teacher, who was charged with that responsibility sometime near the end of November. Our Grade 5 and 6 classes were conjoined and he decided we would yodel and act our way through the trials and tribulations of that Good King Wenslasasasas guy.

It was a given that Aaron, the top vocalist in our mob, would take the lead role and of course, our interpretation of a Middle East scenario would inevitably lead to the emergence of a host of bathrobes, towels and broken hockey sticks to serve as shepherd staffs.

But this Good King Wesslasasasas thing also required the presence of a Page, and lo and behold, our costume inventory (non-existent to our knowledge up to that point) did, somehow include a Page’s outfit. Where it came from and when it arrived we would never know, but there it was, looming like a miniature version of the outfit worn by Will Ferrell in the movie Elf.

“Norm, you’ll be the Page,” declared Mr. Brown. What? I thought, why me? I could certainly match Aaron on the volume side of the vocals but if I did find a musical

note and could carry it, it wouldn’t go very far. So, why me? If I couldn’t be a whole chapter, I certainly wasn’t going to be a Page, not with that outfit.

It didn’t take me long to realize the reason I was being placed in a so-called significant role had nothing to do with my vocal or acting talent, but rather my stature. The outfit was kind of small and so was I. Game, set, match is probably what Mr. Brown was thinking.

But I refused the offer of being that Hither Page that would be beckoned by King Aaron (i.e. Wenslasassasas). I was having none of that stupid outfit. I was steadfast in my refusal and I got an earful of retribution and anger from teacher Brown, admonishing me for being a person who would refuse an opportunity to step up to a musical challenge. Fifty or more kids listened in as he lashed out at my stubbornness but eventually decided that some other victim would now take on the role of the Hither Thither Page who told the king where the poor guy lived near a fence, mountain and a fountain named Agnes. It was about a good league away, the lyrics said. They didn’t mention what league it was, MLB, NFL, CFL or NHL. It was just a league; so much for details.

Aaron got outfitted with a crown made from Bristol board and I think it was Roger, who was a little smaller than me, who accepted the role of the page while I was banished to the back row of the backup chorus that I believe was arranged in alphabetical order since I was placed alongside a Pawliuk and a Proznick. Good enough. There were extra vocals to shout out about in the whole act … you know, a lot of Glory

Glory Harold Lewis or Jerry Lewis, not sure?

I was happy to be just one of the crowd of non-stars, on opening (and closing) night at the Legion Hall. Aaron’s voice rang out clear and wonderful. The Page trod in the master’s footprints and whatever else that was required in the lyrics, you know, if I recall, he was lugging the wine, and flesh (I’m guessing that was supposed to be some kind of meat … I hope), and pine logs.

Mr. Brown ultimately decided not to hold a grudge, and donated a B- grade to me for my musical skills at the end of term, allowing me to continue a musical journey into Grade 6 and did not include any mention of a future school called Juilliard.

So a moment of torture had been turned into a moment of relief.

And let’s just say it was a good thing the Grade 5 & 6 rendition of that Good King Wenslasasasas adventure wasn’t the only act scheduled that evening. No encore was deemed necessary for our endeavour even though Aaron’s vocals did bring forth some enthusiastic applause.

I’m also pretty sure the Page outfit never surfaced again. It was probably sent to a landfill site, a good league hence from our scrappy school with our broken water fountain named Pete, who was our school janitor, the guy who was always able to repair it. I believe he came pretty close to sainthood having to deal with our rowdy school population, but, I mean really, saint or no saint you don’t name a fountain Agnes, do ya?

Weyburn Police respond to threats, disturbances at drinking establishments

The Weyburn Police Service responded to 75 calls for service for the week of November 23–30, 2025.

Notable incidents during the week include:

Uttering Threats Against a Person – November 24

Police responded to a report of an adult male entering a local government building and uttering a threat to cause harm to an adult female. The male fled prior to police arrival. He was later located and arrested without incident and subsequently released with conditions.

Domestic Assault – November 26

Police were dispatched to a domestic disturbance at a residence. Upon arrival, the adult male involved had fled the scene. Investigation determined that the male assaulted the adult female during an argument. Police continue to search for the accused and have obtained a warrant for his arrest. Police strongly encourage the male to turn himself in.

Underage Drinking in Licensed Business – November 28

a licensed premises. The male was detained after being unable to produce identification or provide a correct birthdate. He was confirmed to be 16 years old and was charged with youth possession of cannabis ($300.00 fine) as well as minor in a permitted premises. The investigation is ongoing, and the business may also face charges, as these are considered serious AGRA offences. Due to the youth’s level of intoxication, he was released to a parent.

Intoxicated in Public – November 29

In the early morning hours, while patrolling drinking establishments, police located a highly intoxicated adult male outside in the cold. He was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place and lodged in cells until sober. With the extremely cold temperatures, it was fortunate that officers located him before he wandered out of sight and became at risk of hypothermia. A similar incident had been reported by the public the night before.

With temperatures dropping, police remind friends, patrons, and staff at licensed establishments, staff Christmas and house parties to look out for one another and ensure everyone gets home safely.

VLT Disturbances – November 29 & 30

Police responded to over four disturbances at multiple drinking establishments involving intoxicated individuals arguing or becoming disruptive around VLT machines. Alcohol was a contributing factor in all events. Officers successfully de-escalated every situation without the need for charges or arrests, ensuring all involved individuals made it home safely.

Anyone with information regarding any of these matters, or any other matter of a criminal nature, is encouraged to contact the Weyburn Police Service at (306) 848-3250, the local RCMP Detachment at 310-RCMP (7267), or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).I

RCMP: Ice is still too thin to walk on

The Saskatchewan RCMP would like to remind the public to be careful on the ice and around water this time of year:

Ice safety tips:

In early season, as the ice conditions are not stable, do not walk, play, work or drive on the ice.

Do not walk on white or snow ice. It is the weakest type of ice. Because white ice traps air and snow while freezing, it is not strong and can break under the weigh of a single person. It will form when temperatures are close to zero Celsius. This is the type of ice appearing these days across Saskatchewan and it is not safe.

Wait for clear strong and stable ice to form before getting onto the ice. Clear ice, often appearing blue, is the strongest type of ice. It will form only when temperatures have been consistently below zero for a long time. Clear blue ice is safe only when it is of a certain thickness. The Canadian Red Cross recommends a minimum of:

• 15 cm (6 inches) for skating, walking or skiing in small groups;

• 20 cm (almost 8 inches) for larger groups, such as skating parties; and

• 25 cm (almost 10 inches) for snowmobiles or ATVs.

If, for any reason, you must be on the ice, use a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and have self-rescue ice picks ready to be used. If you fall in the water, call for help. Do not press on the ice near you to raise yourself up. Instead, swim out of the water horizontally and kick your legs to propel yourself out of the water. Once out the water, don’t stand up. Instead, crawl or roll away from the area, spreading your arms and legs to evenly distribute your body weight.

If you witness someone on thin ice who needs help, immediately call 911. The best way to safely help a person is from the shore – or there is a high risk you could end up in the water yourself. Extend your reach with a long pole or a rope at the person in need.

Province introduces amendments to Firearms Act

The Government of Saskatchewan introduced amendments to the Saskatchewan Firearms Act on November 25. The amendments were in response to the federal government’s decision to move forward with its national buyback program to remove more than 2,500 firearms models reclassified as prohibited by federal legislation since 2020.

The legislation proposed that anyone who seizes a firearm under new federal firearms laws must pay the owner fair market value as determined by the Saskatchewan Firearms Commissioner. Firearms will be deemed to be as “seized” in Saskatchewan if both the firearm is impacted by federal firearms legislation or

bans and the owner does not receive fair market compensation within 12 months of the federal legislation or ban coming into effect.

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to advocate for alternatives to the federal buyback program; however, the amendments to The Saskatchewan Firearms Act will help ensure those impacted by the federal government’s decisions can receive fair market value for their property.

“The amendments we are introducing will promote public safety and help safeguard the heritage of law-abiding firearms owners by holding the federal government accountable for providing fair compensation to all affected Saskatchewan firearms

Drivers reminded to check Highway Hotline during winter weather

Now that winter is officially here, drivers are urged make the right call by checking road conditions before getting behind the wheel. It is also important for drivers to protect themselves and others by staying patient around snowplows.

“Whether heading to bonspiels, hockey games or other destinations, please check the Highway Hotline and give our snowplows room,” said Highways Minister David Marit.

“As the Ministry of Highways’ annual winter safety campaign gets underway. Remember, this is Saskatchewan where weather can change rapidly.”

New online ads will debut this winter reminding drivers that the right call beats a close call by waiting for snowplows to pull over before passing and to regularly monitor the Highway Hotline.

The ministry’s video ad about waiting for winter road conditions to improve by checking the Highway Hotline before heading out will play this season as a trailer before movies at Saskatchewan theatres.

The Highway Hotline

also has two new cameras in time for this winter. They are along Trans-Canada Highway 1 near Rush Lake and Highway 13 near the junction of Highway 47 at Stoughton. The camera network has more than 50 locations with cameras to help provide better insight.

To take advantage of its features, download the latest version of the Highway Hotline smartphone app for free in the Google and Apple online stores. The service can also be accessed online at https:// hotline.gov.sk.ca/map or by calling 511 to select the highway you wish to hear the latest available road conditions.

Snowplow operators regularly send road condition information posted by staff at the Highway Hotline, Saskatchewan’s provincial road information system.

Drivers are reminded to stay back and stay safe near snowplows, as they create a mini blizzard called the Snow Zone when clearing highways. Drivers should be cautious around snowplows, which pull over every 10 to 15 kilometres to let motorists pass.

owners,” said Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod, K.C. “Rather than targeting lawabiding firearms owners, we believe our approach of providing law enforcement with the tools and expertise they need to secure and protect Saskatchewan communities from illegal firearms is a more effective firearms safety measure.”

The federal government has stated that funding for the buyback program will be capped at $742 million and compensation will be offered on a “first-come, first-served” approach, with no guarantees of compensation once the funding cap is reached.

To help ensure all affected Saskatchewan firearms owners receive fair

compensation from the federal government, an online portal will soon be launched to provide appraisals for all firearms, ammunition and accessories impacted by federal legislation.

Saskatchewan firearms owners will then be able to use the appraisals as evidence in court to hold the federal government accountable for providing fair compensation to all those affected by their legislation.

“Individuals should not be criminalized for having a firearms licence and owning legally-obtained property,” Saskatchewan Firearms Office (SFO) Commissioner Robert Freberg said. “Lawful firearms owners are not causing public safety concerns in our communities. The firearms affected by

the federal government’s reclassification, which are currently legally owned by individuals and businesses, are rarely used in criminal activities across Canada. The real concerns are firearms that have been smuggled in from the United States or those that have been illegally modified for use in gang and illegal drug activities.”

The amendments will also allow the SFO to collect and store firearms on behalf of Saskatchewan firearms owners who wish to voluntarily turn in their firearms. This will ensure firearms owners do not face potential criminal charges for possessing prohibited firearms while they pursue compensation from the federal government.

Additional amendments include:

• Enabling medical professionals to report patients to the SFO if they have a medical condition that may impact their ability to use or possess firearms safely; and

• Allowing the Chief Firearms Officer to inspect firearms ranges and clubs and designate firearms safety instructors in the province.

The provincial government and SFO will continue to advocate against the buyback program and encourage the federal government to invest in initiatives that will address firearms smuggling and the use of illegal firearms in criminal activities, such as the recently established Saskatchewan Ballistics Laboratory.

Municipal Act amendments to reduce red tape, increase transparency

The Municipalities Modernization and Red Tape Reduction Act bill was introduced to Legislature by Government Relations Minister Eric Schmalz on November 26.

This bill will amend The Cities Act, The Municipalities Act, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010 to support good local governance, increase transparency for ratepayers and reduce red tape.

“Saskatchewan residents rely on the services provided by municipal governments every day and it is vital that we review and update the provincial municipal legislation so that it evolves with the expectations of ratepayers and the responsibilities of mayors,

reeves and councils,” said Schmalz. “Thank you to all residents and municipal representatives who provided their feedback to ensure that we continue to modernize our legislation to meet the evolving needs of growing municipalities.”

Amendments in The Municipalities Modernization and Red Tape Reduction Act include:

• Improving public access to municipal information by requiring municipalities to post meeting minutes, financial statements and bylaws on a public website starting in 2027. In advance of these changes taking effect, government will begin posting municipal financial statements to saskatchewan.ca in January 2026.

• Supporting local governance by requiring municipalities to offer orientation training after each general election in order to better support council members in their roles. Additional amendments will also strengthen provisions related to harassment by making harassment of municipal employees an offence under the municipal Acts.

• Red tape reductions including improving the fairness and efficiency of property assessment appeals; more efficient tools to address dangerous animals, illegal dumping, and collecting tax arrears from delinquent oil and gas companies; replacing special service areas in rural municipalities with a simpler

taxation tool; and removing duplicate forms for newly elected councillors and unnecessary reporting requirements to government.

The Ministry of Government Relations began consultation on The Cities Act, The Municipalities Act, and The Northern Municipalities Act, 2010 in 2024 with stakeholders and the public which resulted in the prioritization of these amendments. Upon passage, the majority of the amendments would come into force immediately. The ministry will continue to listen to and work with stakeholders to develop related regulatory changes and provide education, awareness and technical advice to municipalities.

CUPE rallies for more support for education

John Cairns

Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees were at the Legislature on November 25 raising alarm bells about the state of education funding.

The rally, which included education support workers and teaching assistants from 15 Saskatchewan school divisions, coincided with the release by CUPE’s Education Workers Steering Committee of an online survey. The survey was of 750 Saskatchewan residents in 20 different school divisions.

Those respondents pointed to what the union described in a news release as a “dire situation facing staff and students in the K-12 education system.”

According to the major findings, 98 per cent said their school division has been impacted by cuts the last two years; 86 per cent said one on one supports have been cut or reduced the previous two years; 68 per cent of support staff reported having to do more work with less resources; cuts were also noted to library services, speech pathologists and counselling services; and almost a third said maintenance of physical buildings had been reduced or cut the past two years.

“The results are alarming,” said Shandel McLeod, vice-chair with CUPE Education Workers Steering Committee, at the rally.

“The survey exposed serious gaps that education workers are trying to fill while already stretched to the limit. Chronic underfunding and education cuts have left schools struggling to provide basic supports. We’re talking classrooms without enough staff, students missing resources, and school divisions forced to make impossible choices every day.”

“ I’ve got a lot of feelings, but it start with sadness. I feel very sad, reading this report — sad for the students and for the parents and the needless stress that they’re facing,” said Opposition Leader Carla Beck, who joined the rally along with several of her MLAs.

“I feel sad for the workers — those who are being thrust day in and day out into impossible situa-

tions…

“And then let’s talk about anger because I got a lot of anger about this too. To watch time and time again the government stand up and spin some lines about the ‘biggest ever investment of education.’ This survey again puts truth to those lies. Tell us that things have never been better in education, well, you’ve got 98 per cent of people in this survey who knew damn well that that’s not the case.”

Speaking to reporters following Question Period about the survey and the rally, Education Minister Everett Hindley said he was “thankful to the members for being here at the Legislature” and said he had a chance to meet with them to discuss some of the concerns on behalf of other CUPE members, who “basically represent pretty much everyone outside of a teacher in our education system.”

Hindley said they as a government “do take it very seriously when it comes to making sure that we are continuing to invest into our education system, and that includes in particular the past couple of years increases operating funding for schools and school divisions right across the province.”

He also pointed to increased classroom supports, pointing to signing a multiyear agreement last year for guaranteed funding for classroom supports. There was also a 10-11 per cent increase in classroom support funding in this year’s budget, he said, which goes to positions such as EAS and other support staff.

“One of the things I do hear as part of a growing province and a growing education system is there is added pressure in our classrooms when it comes to growing enrolments but also complexity. That is why you see our government investing into more EAs, into more specialized support classrooms to help address some of these pressures, more classroom complexity teachers, the additional teachers that were part of the collective bargaining agreement as well. So is there work to do? Certainly there is, but I think we made some significant strides in the past number of years.”
