Weyburn awards $4.78M landfill expansion project

Sara Parks SaskToday.ca

The city awarded a $4.78 million contract for a major landfill expansion project despite uncertainty over federal-provincial funding.

During their regular meeting on June 8, council voted to award the Landfill Expansion Construction

Project to Gee Bee Construction Co. Ltd. for its proposed bid of $4,780,832 including taxes. Any additional costs will be covered by increasing the external loan already funding the project budget.

Renee Cugnet, director of engineering for the city, said the expansion is required to meet the prov -

ince’s requirements. In 2023, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment recommended the city start operating out of an engineered filling cell complete with an appropriate liner and leachate collection system. She said the province has already reduced the city’s operating permit renew -

als from five years to just one or two years as it monitors progress.

The project, designed by Eco Engineering Ltd. in 2024, will transform the existing waste disposal ground into a fully engineered regional facility. It includes horizontal and vertical filling cells, a leachate collection system, decommissioning of the existing open face and a phased filling plan.

City manager Mathew Warren said any funding from the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), submitted in late 2025 for the 2026-27 budget cycle, would reduce the amount the city would have to borrow, lowering future multi-year repayment obligations.

Councillor John Corrigan asked if the full $4.7 million project was eligible under CHIF, and whether, in theory, the program could fund the entire amount. He also sought

clarification on what percentage of funding other Saskatchewan municipalities typically receive.

Warren said approvals are usually a 40-30-30 federal-provincial-municipal split, though it varies by project.

Corrigan said he doesn’t disagree with the province’s environmental standards but said it adds a financial burden for some communities and asked what would happen if the city didn’t proceed with the project.

Cugnet said the province has already allowed the city three years to come up with the appropriate funding and potentially apply for other available funding.

Corrigan said there will be smaller communities that might say they aren’t able to do this project, and he asked, if that happens “is the province going to shut down landfills?”

Mayor Jeff Richards

said he appreciated Corrigan’s comments.

“I think we’re all feeling it,” he said. “This is something that’s been sort of foist upon us that now we’re dealing with. We absolutely want to be compliant.”

Councillor Ryan Janke asked what the project will mean for residents beyond regulatory compliance.

Cugnet said the most immediate benefit for Weyburn residents is that the expansion will extend the landfill’s life by up to 50 years, avoiding the significantly higher cost of acquiring land and building a new facility.

She said some smaller communities have already closed their traditional dumps because they can’t afford to meet the ministry’s environmental requirements.

“We’re serving all these small communities that have had to close their dumps,” said Cugnet.

Police reclaim stolen property

The Weyburn Police Service responded to 88 calls for service during the week of June 7 to June 14, 2026.

Traffic Collision: members of the Weyburn Police Service responded to a three-vehicle collision at the intersection of First Avenue and King Street on June 11.

The investigation determined that one vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front of it, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a third vehicle becoming involved. One vehicle was towed from the scene due to damage. A male driver was issued a traffic ticket for following too closely.

Possession of Stolen Property

While on patrol, members observed a trailer attached to a truck that was believed to be stolen. The registered owner of the truck was known to police.

A subsequent investigation confirmed that the trailer had been stolen from a rural property outside of Weyburn. The registered owner of the truck was arrested and charged with Possession of Stolen Property and two counts of Breach of Release Order.

The accused was held in custody and appeared in Weyburn Provincial Court on June 16, 2026.

Drunk in Public: Police responded to multiple calls on June 14 involving intoxicated males at licensed establishments and private residences. On two separate occasions, males were arrested for being drunk in public and lodged in police cells until sober.

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).

Weyburn Legion plans centennial celebration for July

In celebration of the Royal Canadian Legion’s 100th Anniversary, the Weyburn Legion will be holding an Open House on July 17.

To mark this milestone, the Weyburn Legion is hosting a 24-hour Open House with an Honour Guard. The branch will be holding a variety of events including children’s activities thanks to the Weyburn Public Library and volunteers from the Weyburn Credit Union. Food, music, movies, history and a chance for you to contribute as well through our Don’t Forget to Remember initiative.

During the 24-hour period, members of the public are invited to Stand On Guard For Thee by Standing On Guard for them. As a tribute to all our veterans, pledge forms are available to pick up at the Legion or from any executive member for those wishing to support the Honour Guard.

Since 1926, the Legion has been the leading organization delivering programs to our Veterans and our communities. The Royal Canadian Legion is Canada’s largest Veteran and community support organization formed in 1926 following the unity of various World War I Veterans’ organizations. The Legion was founded with the clear purpose of service to the Nation through three distinct channels: care of Veterans and their families; keeping alive public

memory of the sacrifices of Canadians in the cause of world peace and thus providing a deterrent to future conflicts; promotion of unity, of thought and of effort among all Canadians leading to the development of a greater Nation.

Our mission is to serve Veterans, which includes serving military and RCMP members and their

families; to promote Remembrance; and to serve our communities and our country.

General meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month except for July and August.

Legion membership is open to anyone who supports the aims and goals of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Weyburn hoping to reclaim Golden can

SaskToday.ca

The Golden Garbage Can is back and southeastern Saskatchewan’s tidiest rivalry is ready for another round.

The cities of Weyburn and Estevan will once again face off in the community cleanup competition on June 17, continuing the renewed tradition after the competition made its comeback in 2025 following a 15-year hiatus.

A panel of judges will tour both cities, scoring each community using a shared rubric that highlights cleanliness, visual appeal, civic pride and overall community care. The winning city will be awarded the Golden Garbage Can, along with a fresh year of bragging rights.

Estevan claimed the trophy in 2025, marking the first win of the competition’s modern comeback.

“While only one community can take home the trophy, the real win is seeing residents, businesses, schools and community groups come together and build the kind of civic pride this competition was created to celebrate,” said Estevan City Councillor Kristen Walliser.

Judges will review a range of areas in each community, including downtown, residential streets, school properties, parks, gateways, commercial areas and public facilities. Residents and businesses are encouraged to

participate with creativity and community-led efforts, such as flower beds, beautification projects and cleanup initiatives ahead of judging day.

“Estevan and Weyburn both have a strong sense of community, and this competition gives us a chance to showcase that in a positive, good-natured way,” said Weyburn City Councillor Kellie Sidloski. “It is about more than clean streets. It is about the people who care enough to pitch in, take pride and help their community look its best.”

The Golden Garbage Can dates back to 1956, when Weyburn and Estevan first began the friendly challenge as a way to encourage community-wide cleanup efforts and showcase the value of welcoming public spaces. Over the decades, the competition became a recognizable regional tradition before pausing after the 2010 contest. Its return in 2025 brought new energy to the long-standing connection between the two cities.

The competition is light-hearted, but its purpose is meaningful: encouraging civic care, celebrating community effort and recognizing the shared commitment both cities have to keeping their communities welcoming, clean and vibrant. The winner of the 2026 Golden Garbage Can will be announced following judging.

Editorial & Opinion

WPS remind residents to watch for intimate image scams

The Weyburn Police Service are reminding residents to exercise caution when communicating with individuals online, particularly those they have never met in person.

In these scams, individuals believe they are involved in a legitimate online relationship and may share intimate photos or videos with someone they have never met. The suspect then threatens to distribute those images to the victim’s friends, family members, or social media contacts unless money is paid.

Police strongly recommend never sharing intimate images online and encourage anyone who becomes a victim of this type of extortion to contact police immediately before sending any money.

To help protect yourself:

• Be cautious when forming relationships online, especially with individuals who quickly express strong feelings or see personal information.

• Never feel pressured to send intimate photos or videos, regardless of how well you believe you know the person.

• Remember that once an image is sent electronically, you lose control over how it may be used or shared.

• Review your social media privacy settings and limit public access to your friends list, personal information, and photographs.

• Be cautious of requests to move conversations to private messaging platforms shortly after meeting someone online.

• Watch for warning signs such as requests for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other financial assistance.

• Verify the identity of

individuals you meet online whenever possible through video calls or inperson meetings in safe public locations.

• If someone threatens to distribute intimate images unless you pay money, do not send payment. Paying often leads to further demands for money.

• Preserve all communications, screenshots, usernames, email addresses, and payment requests as evidence.

• Report the incident to police immediately and notify the social media platform or website where the communication occurred.

The Weyburn Review

FROM THE SIDELINES: Lots of questions and not sure about answers

Norm Park/ SaskToday.ca

Too many questions and concerns are swimming … maybe even snorkelling around in our heads these days. Well, maybe not yours, I shouldn’t be so presumptive. But I’m willing to bet there are a few unanswered questions and concerns we might have in common on some fronts this week.

For example, is Canada really forging forward with a determined plan to strengthen connections with the EU and Asia? We find ourselves these past few years with an unreliable neighbour to the south and even after Donnie Deflector is finished with his off script regime the U.S.A. will never fully recover from the onslaught. At least that’s one question we have.

Question 2 – Do governments at any level know what to do with this new wave of A.I.? Or are they still struggling with general intelligence and the human brain vs. A.I.? Avatars speak languages that we, as real people can’t. Web browsing, image generation, languages, writing, audios and coding are all done with A.I. Is A.I. going to set up boot camps in libraries? So where are we with our general intelligence population as it relates to the growth of A.I. intelligence? Anybody willing to say “whoa, slow down, we need to catch up?”

Question 3 – Investment firms and private investors are foaming at the mouth, waiting with breath abated to slap their tax free money into the newest generation of A.I. and I’ve been led to understand the really big stuff begins a new chapter this week. Stay tuned because SpaceX ‘s trillionaire, that strange guy with 14 kids begat with a host of women, is about to launch his next big toy. Are we ready? Do we have something or somebody in charge of oversight? Not just for him, but for all A.I. outlanders and investors? If so, please let us know, because it’s getting scary. (See question 2 for the original concern).

Question 4 – Are we really ready for thousands of data centres spread out over hundreds of thousands of acres of formerly usable land? And are our schools and universities getting in on A.I. too soon and not too carefully? After all, how long does it take a young mind to develop the necessary cognitive skills to meet today’s brain wave challenges let alone tomorrow’s requirements?

Question 5 – Is Canada falling behind in the manufacturing world? China holds the cards with the necessary materials such as the control of most of the rare earth minerals that are necessary for advancing the current tech world. They also have an inexpensive well-educated massive labour force and don’t have democracy details to question decisions that might hold up the processes.

Speaking of democracy … well.

Question 6 – Airplanes or drones for future air and other attack and defense battles that nobody asks for but we keep

getting?

Question 7 – Who will raise their hand first to join Mr. Deflector’s planned expansion? Alberta, Venezuela, Cuba or Greenland?

Question 8 – Can Canadian politicians make our country more self-sufficient? Can they actually open up opportunities and maintain clear democracies while no longer blindly following the unreliable neighbour?

We may miss these moments of opportunities due to the fact that many democratic governments have become rather messy with multi-layered governance and administration departments that too often don’t see eye-to-eye even though they’re supposed to be on the same team. Do we need Team Canada for these people too? In other words it just seems the Globe wants us, but we keep getting in our own way. Federal, provincial, regional, local governments and administrations lead to layers of protocols to wade through and First Nations that are needing firm resolves and directions from their leaders simply add to the challenges we all face. Persistent leadership squabbles lead us nowhere and restrict any paths we may want to build that send us forward. How do we get all these layers of leaders together and willing to work with one another while ignoring political affiliations but rather looking upward to find out what could work for Canada, not just a constituency? Can we stop political nit picking? Can our politicians forget about their hurt feelings and start working on what should be common causes such as health, science, medicine, agriculture, transportation and manufacturing? Okay, it seems that’s several questions rolled into one. Apologies.

Question 9 – Can French finally be seen as a bonus for Canadians rather than a negative challenge for those of us who don’t speak it? Oh, I forgot. We have A.I. to do that now. Forget Question 9.

Question 10 – I’ve asked this one previously, but it’s maybe worth repeating. Can our western provinces finally convince eastern provinces that larger populations aren’t the only answers and that sometimes money, agricultural production, brains, minerals and other valued commodities should count too? This question seems to flange up with a couple of the earlier ones. It appears as if our fears for the future seem to melt and meld into a few major concerns that don’t appear to have any quick or easy solutions.

Author’s note: Please be advised that none of this column was created or written by A.I. Of course, those who have read it this far will know that since, well, it speaks for itself eh? I mean A.I. could probably spit out a superior example of wordsmithing than what you’ve just been exposed to.

Next week maybe I can introduce you to my 1,483 A.I. generated friends. Okay, just kidding. I have none and happy to admit it.

WCBL: Moose Jaw scores 19 runs in win over Weyburn

Randy Palmer

SaskToday.ca

Moose Jaw rolled to a 19-6 victory over the Beavers in Weyburn on Sunday, knocking the Beavers down to fourth place in the east division of the Western Canadian Baseball League.

Moose Jaw 19, Weyburn 6 June 14

After taking back-toback final-inning wins over the Beavers in a doubleheader on Saturday, the Express left nothing to doubt this time around.

Leading 3-1 after two, Moose Jaw scored five in the third and added another six in the fifth before steadily pulling away in the later innings.

Gary Swann had a solid night at the plate for the Express, going 3-for4 with two doubles and four runs scored, while Will Edwards was 2-for3 with two runs and three RBI. Jacob Mraz had a pair of hits and crossed the plate four times, Ben Waliczek went 3-for-6 with two runs and three RBI, Cade Ransom 2-for-4 with three RBI and Thomas Soto 2-for-6 with three runs and two RBI.

That was plenty of offence for Moose Jaw starter and game winner Jacob Glazener, who allowed three runs on seven hit over five innings and had an impressive 12 strikeouts on the day.

Joe Madill led Weyburn’s offence with a 2-for-4 outing that included a home run and two runs scored, Gunner Ferguson knocked in a pair, Ryan Weaver finished with a pair of hits.

Weyburn’s defence did their pitching staff no favours on the day, committing a total of seven

errors. Josh Pritchard got the start and took the loss after allowing eight runs, six earned, on six hits over three innings.

Moose Jaw 12, Weyburn 11 June 13

Everything went Moose Jaw’s way in their final at bat, beginning when Chris Franks led off with his first double of the inning and was followed by the next two batters being hit by pitches and the next two after that reaching on errors.

The Express had scored four runs in the frame and were down to their final out when Franks came up for the second time, and his double off the centrefield wall would bring home Pacey Phillips, Will Edwards and Ben Waliczek with the winning runs.

Weyburn had built their lead by scoring six in the second inning, adding another three in the fifth and two more in the sixth for an 11-2 edge at the time. Moose Jaw began their comeback with three in the sixth before their improbable surge in the seventh.

Franks ended up going 4-for-5 with two runs and three RBI and the two final inning doubles, Phillips scored three runs and knocked in four, Brayden Bunnell went 2-for-3 and scored two runs, Jacob Mraz also crossed the plate twice.

Austin Boylan finished a home run away from the cycle for Weyburn, finishing 3-for-5 with a double, triple, two runs and two RBI. Brayden Mayencourt was 2-for-3 with three runs, Robert Gurney went 2-for-2 with a double and two runs.

Jordan Bauer was Moose Jaw’s most effective pitcher, allowing three runs on three hits after

taking over in the second inning; Maddox Summers tossed a scoreless ninth to snag the win.

Zach Raichel started for Weyburn and allowed two runs on five hits over four innings. Bill Hosegood was saddled with the loss after giving up the final two runs in the seventh.

Moose Jaw 10, Weyburn 9 June 13

A four-run inning in the top of the sixth gave Weyburn an 8-5 lead in the nightcap, but Moose Jaw scored one in their half of the sixth and added two more in the seventh to tie things up.

The Beavers scored one in the extra inning, but the Express picked up a pair in the bottom of the eighth to take the win.

Waliczek had the walkoff hit, lacing a single to

right centre to bring home Bunnell from third with the game-winning run.

Caden Ransom hit a three-run home run in the second inning and scored two runs for Moose Jaw; Bunnell and Michael Rago each crossed the plate twice. Waliczek, Edwards and Garryn Plummer each knocked in a pair.

Boylan went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in the sixth and finished with five RBI. Brayden Mayencourt had a threerun home run in the fifth, while Daxtyn Brown and Hugh Montgomery each crossed the plate twice.

Rowan Robinson had a solid start for Moose Jaw, allowing a single run on five hits over four innings.

Jacob Quiles picked up the win after allowing a single run and hit over the final two innings.

Will Sevier started for

the Beavers and allowed five runs on four hits in 3 ⅓, Hosegood had the ignoble honor of giving up the two runs in the eighth to take the loss in backto-back games.

Weyburn 2, Regina 0 June 12

Neither team’s offence could get much going against the opposing starting pitcher, and in the end, the Beavers’ Logan Lynch would come out on the positive side of the pitching duel.

Lynch turned in a quality start, scattering six hits over 7 ⅔ innings of work, striking out six and giving up a single walk. Logan Kinter saw to it there would be no late-game comeback for Regina, tossing the final 1 ⅓ and striking out a pair while not allowing a baserunner.

Red Sox starter Daniel

Crabtree was nearly as effective, allowing a single run in the seventh to close out his evening. He’d give up only three hits in that span, striking out five. Jake Fowler finished things off and allowed the run in the ninth.

Owen Mayencourt knocked home Brayden Mayencourt with the game-winning run in the top of the seventh, Hugh Montgomery picked up the insurance run on a single by Austin Boylan in the final inning.

Upcoming games

The Weyburn will host the Medicine Hat Mavericks at Tom Laing Park tonight, June 17. They travel to Saskatoon to play the Berries on June 18, then host the Regina Red Sox on June 20. The weekend closes with a doubleheader in Regina on June 21.

Youth soccer players compete at the annual Soccer Day on June 13 at Jubilee Park. The event was hosted by the Weyburn Soccer Association.
