Saskatchewan
Agreement simplifies administrative hurdles SERVICE RIG DRIVERS
SaskToday
The provincial government is removing administrative burdens for some drivers of service rigs in the province’s energy sector.
Previously, all Saskatchewan service rig drivers were required to get specific endorsements on their licence. They were also required to submit periodic medical fitness reports, similar to drivers licensed to operate other heavy vehicles.
Amendments to The Driver Licensing and Suspension (Mobile Mounted Service Rigs) Amendment Regulations will:
• Eliminate the G-Endorsement requirements for Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) member drivers.
• Remove the requirement for CAOEC service rig drivers to submit periodic medical reports to SGI.
Service rigs spend approximately 95 per cent of their time performing well servicing operations, with little time spent in transit. When they are on roads, they are driven in convoys, at speeds not exceeding 80 km/h, and largely on secondary or rural roads.
“By eliminating the G-Endorsement and periodic medical reporting requirements, these changes significantly improve regulatory efficiencies, particularly for cross-border service rig operations, allowing our industry to align standards and reduce barriers,” said Canadian Association of Energy Contractors President and CEO Mark Sholz.
“This smart red tape reduction will enable our crews and equipment to focus on safely and responsibly producing Saskatchewan’s oil and gas resources. Safety on the road is paramount,
and by adopting the high industry training standards set by the CAOEC, we will ensure that this unique and critical industry in the province continues to uphold, as we have always done, our strong safety record on Saskatchewan roads.”
Service rig operators receive highly specialized training through a training program and certification process delivered by CAOEC, which is recognized by the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The regulatory changes also harmonize Saskatchewan’s standards with those in Alberta. In 2019, the premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta signed a memorandum of understanding to help remove provincial barriers to the movement of service rigs. This would build upon the progress the two jurisdictions have already made on harmonization.

Lack of bus drivers still a concern for SECPSD
Submitted
by Norm
Park, Contracted Reporter for SECPSD
It’s a near continual refrain coming from the transportation management side of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.
There is an ongoing need to fill bus-driving positions within the busy bus-driven division Jesse Forsyth, manager of transportation, suggested. Forsyth has recently assumed this administration role following the retirement of former manager Andy Dobson.
Forsyth provided several transportation details for the Cornerstone board members at their January 21 open business meeting held in the division’s head office in Weyburn.
“There is a lack of spare bus drivers in all areas,” Forsyth noted in his remarks and visual presentation.
The good news was that since the last report, there have been seven recently hired school bus drivers who have taken on the duties after passing the required certification tests. However, there have also been five resignations plus one retirement thus leaving the division with an overall bus driver increase of just one.
In bringing the numbers to the conference table, Forsyth noted that 558 full bus driving days were lost due to the lack of a substitute driver in a previous bi-annual report posted in January of last year. This January, to date, they have lost 599 full days due to not having substitute drivers.
Route cancellations in January of last year numbered 1,588 while the number stood at 1,415 for the same month this year. These cancellations were for a number of reasons, not just a lack of a driver. For instance
there were 22 half days lost due to mechanical concerns in 2025 and 26 half days this year.
Weather is also a major factor accounting for 684 full days lost in January report last academic year compared with 363 full days lost, so far, this year. There were also 210 half days lost to weather related issues in 2025 and 272 this year in January.
There are still some unfilled routes, again due to lack of a driver, with one being in the Arcola region, two in Carlyle and one in Radville. Forsyth noted that one previously unfilled route in Alameda had now been filled, as of January 12. Last year within the same time frame, there had been one unfilled route in Arcola, three in Carlyle and one for Estevan rural.
The transportation routes have been reduced slightly from 157 to 155 by omit-
ting one rural route in each of Carnduff and Arcola. In 2025, the number had been punched up a bit with the addition of one urban route in both Weyburn and Estevan.
The Cornerstone division still relies heavily on school buses to bring the students into the schools and classrooms and for other endeavours since more than half of the division’s student population rides on these buses to arrive at their educational centre locations. Last year the traditional bus riding student number was 4,642 and this year it’s 4,636. The total student enrolment number is just above the 8,100 mark.
The average rural oneway ride time remains at about 48 minutes on average with the longest one-way rural ride time being 90 minutes for students on the far range side of an Estevan/Torquay route or the Weyburn/ Oungre sector.
Busy year for Humane Society, new shelter build underway
Submitted
by
Beverly Paul Weyburn Humane Society
The Weyburn Humane Society held it’s annual general meeting at the Travelodge on January 18. It was a very busy year for the Weyburn Humane Society.
Planning for a new shelter
“We had the land, but needed to get plans in place before proceeding to build. Many meetings and decisions over the last year were made and there will be more decisions to come,” said board president Beverly Paul. “We look forward to moving into the new shelter this summer.”
Ride For Paws -
Support the Cause
The Jeep raffle kept the volunteers and board members busy selling tickets. “We had to extend the draw date to October due to lack of ticket sales for the original draw date of August,” said Paul. “We still managed to be successful with funds raised.”
Other fundraisers
“We kept very busy with many fundraisers from online auctions, barbecues, bake sales, weddings, garage sale, Santa photos, and anything we could do to raise operating funds,” said Paul. Recycling program
The bottle recycling con-
tinues to be a very worthwhile fundraiser for the Humane Society. Donations collected from October 2024 to September 2025 brought in was $21,445.85.
Animal Care and Adoption
The shelter continues to be extremely busy caring for all the animals that come through the door, whether by the shelter staff, public or police, along with adoptions, and keeping the public informed of what is happening through social media. Educating the public in regards to responsible pet ownership is an ongoing endeavour.
Animals that came through the shelter included one owl, two geese, one hawk, two rabbits, 211 cats, 126 dogs and one turtle for a total of 344 critters. They adopted out 337 pets to loving families and reunited 99 lost pets with their families.
They had 336 animals spayed/neutered to help reduce unwanted pets. The recycling funds go directly to the spay/neuter program.
Annual Report
The financial reports for fiscal year October, 2024 to September, 2025 was not available in time for the annual general meeting. Once completed, it will be uploaded to www.weyburnhumanesociety.com Local residents can find the annual report document on the Humane Society’s Facebook
page. The Humane Society executive for the 2026 year: president Beverly Paul, vice president Janice Carson, secretary Clarissa Welsh, treasurer Colleen Morrice and members at large Barrie Carson, Randy Bakaluk and Ashley Callan. The Humane Society may have more board members come forward as they do have the capacity to add more as the year progresses. They are always looking for volunteers.

Editorial & Opinion
From the sidelines: Old McDonald had a data farm, AI AI, Oh Oh
Norm Park SaskToday.ca
AI, or ain’t I? I really don’t know. You see I have been informed through my reading regimes and spoken words that AI-generated content will do wonderful things, bring a new light of day to the scientific and medical worlds for sure and will be so useful as a tool that, well, then here comes the hard part.
AI will be so damn effective and efficient that well, people won’t be that important any more because AI can generate more AI that supersedes by far anything that man and woman can create or disseminate. So that’s where the scary part comes in.
Tech writers such as Brian Chen at the NY Times speak words that baffle me since many of them are acronyms. Tech jargon is not in my wheelhouse.
U.G.C. apparently is a Google assistant that AI developers probably embrace with love and wine dates.
Then there is RAG and TPU and then SLOP, which means, AI generated junk.
I look back and remember the days not so long ago when I was enthralled with the prospects of ChatGPT, ChatBot and ChatBox and ChatSlipshod ….okay, I made that last one up, just for Chatlaffs.
U.G.C. is not a Prairie owned grain company, but rather user-generated content. Got it?
AGI is artificial general intelligence.
RAG apparently stands for retrieval, augmented generation (Hello Chatbox. Or is that Chatbot?).
NPU it seems is not something that smells awful, but rather it refers to a neural processing unit, whatever that is!
Agentigs are ChatBot agents, but don’t tell CSIS, FBI or CIA okay?
The Magic Cue looks things up for us. That’s what we used to do with textbooks and dictionaries … you’ll know what I mean if you’re over 45 years old. Otherwise, you can use it to look up the word dictionary for laughs if you want.
GPU is graphics processing unit and the list goes on and on, but you get my drift by now, that is if you’ve been brave or interested enough to read this far.
I’ve also been reading about how that chipmaker Nvidia with their GB300 computing racks with those neurons that need tonnes of water and huge trigiwatts of electrical power. They
use it for their very noisy thousands of acres data farms or centres. I think I just made up that word Trigiwatts, but you can look it up in that Magic Cue thing if you want. Or maybe just use good old fashioned Google?
It seems the billionaires on this AI stage are competing to become the kings of AI so the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk et al, are building these huge data centres that will spit out tokens, words or parts of words and sentences, and data while sucking up more power than the normal world can provide, all for dispensing what some of them never paid for in terms of copyrights for written words and schemes drummed up by other old fashioned writers, scientists and doctors.
There is Open AI and Character AI and these billionaires are not only subjecting us to that ChatGPT but also to Claude, Grok and Gemini. And these aren’t movie monsters. They are tech monsters hiding as helpful creations from the AI practitioners that we will never really know, unless you happen to be one of them that live in their new netherworld.
They will drift into their new world order and get all kinds of investments from the money makers and financial backers that now includes one of their inventions, crypto currency, just like the Dot.com world sucked a lot of people in the mid and late 1990s. Most crashed, a few survived and thrived. I’m guessing the same will befall the AI world, but then, I could be wrong and columns like this will simply be generated entirely by AI, along with so much else, including the aforementioned medical and scientific discoveries that may provide solutions for most medical problems such as cancers, autism, heart conditions. Wheelchair users will be boosted upright with new skeletal models. The prospects for good are endless, but so is the prospect for some evil.
Lots of stuff will be written by the deep state, the AI that doesn’t take bathroom, lunch or coffee breaks and doesn’t even need to sleep except when maybe the modules need dusting or refreshing?
The world is open to OpenAI it seems. How it will be deployed is both exciting and concerning, especially for guys like me who still remain amazed at how microwave ovens work!
