Envision Counselling and Support Centre recently launched its new awareness campaign, “From Silence to Support.” The initiative is designed to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and highlight the impacts of sexual violence while promoting awareness of the supports available to survivors.
The initiative reminds individuals that this is a prevalent issue across our province, while also reminding survivors that they are not alone, and that healing and hope are within reach.
Saskatchewan continues to experience one of the highest rates of sexual assault victimization in Canada, with approximately 104 incidents per 100,000 people. Envision’s campaign emphasizes the importance of
awareness and prevention as critical steps in building safer and more compassionate communities.
The campaign’s message is simple yet powerful:
• Reach out. We are here for you.
• It isn’t your fault.
• We believe you.
• We support you.
“All it takes is one message of support to remind someone they’re not alone,” said Raven Daer, Communications Specialist at Envision Counselling and Support Centre.
“This campaign encourages open conversations about sexual violence while showing survivors that help is available, and that we believe them. We know that sexual violence
can happen to anyone, and we hope to replace silence with understanding and compassion.”
All of Envision’s services are free and confidential, accessible through any of its southeast Saskatchewan offices or by emailing support@envisioncounsellingcentre.com.
Local businesses are being invited to participate by displaying posters that promote the campaign’s message of hope and support.
“By sharing this message, our community can help ensure that survivors feel seen, believed, and supported,” added Daer.
More information about Envision, their services, and the “From Silence to Support” campaign can be found on their website or by contacting one of their offices directly. www. envisioncounsellingcentre.com.
Advanced tickets are available by texting Sheena at 306331-5533. An individual ticket is $25, a family ticket is $50 and a platinum ticket is $100.
“This is a time to celebrate our roots. In the spirit of Tommy Douglas and the CCF movement we want this to be an inclusive event,” said Muirhead Koops, “so please feel free to join us and pay only what you can at the door.
“We’d love to see you there — whether it’s for the AGM, the BarnDance, or both! We are going to have so much fun!“

Majority of farmers reach harvest finish line
Ryan Young SaskToday.ca
Harvest is essentially done in the province as 98 per cent of this year’s crop has been combined, according to the weekly provincial crop report covering the period of October 7-13.
Tamberly Kreger, RainaLee Lohse, Andrew Madridejos, Jethro Magno, Keira Mahnke, Hannah Mercer, Lilith Moffat, Rozlin Morrissette, Alice Patel, Atasha Recto, Monica Regidor, Krish Sheth, Rob Shumlich, Hunter Tollefson, Havyn Walbaum, Sophie Walkeden, Cadence Wawro, Harper Williams, Laura Woodard and Elijah Woodend.
The Grade 10 student who had the highest academic average in the 2024-2025 school year was Elizabete Sirante with 98.5 per cent. The Grade 11 students who had the highest academic average in the 2024-2025 school year were Beth Hamel and Phyllesha Honig, both with 98 per cent.
Each region is close to 100 per cent complete - the the west-central and northeast regions are at 99 per cent, the southeast and northwest at 98 per cent and the southwest and eastcentral are at 97 per cent.
92 per cent harvested and chickpeas are 88 per cent combined.
All other pulse, spring cereal and winter cereal crop types have been harvested and a few acres of oilseed crops remain in the field. Provincially, canola is 98 per cent combined, mustard 95 per cent, flax 87 per cent and soybeans 83 per cent. Canary seed is
Any crop that’s left standing was reported to experience minor damage due to wind, frost, snow, wildlife and migratory birds.
Sunday brought a mix of rain and snow to eastern areas of the province while the west received very little. The Strasbourg area re-
corded the most at 52 mm, followed by the Archerwill area with 50 mm and the Arborfield area had 43 mm.
The precipitation boosted topsoil moisture levels. The crop report states, “cropland topsoil moisture is now rated at seven per cent surplus, 53 per cent adequate, 30 per cent short and 10 per cent very short. For hayland areas, topsoil moisture is five per cent surplus, 49 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 13 per cent very short. For pastures, topsoil moisture is three per cent surplus, 36 per cent adequate, 42 per cent short and 19 per cent very short.”
Crop reporters also got information on winter feed supplies for livestock producers and supply looks good overall. Hay is nine per cent surplus, 82 per cent adequate and nine per cent short. Greenfeed
is six per cent surplus, 89 per cent adequate and five per cent short. Silage is six per cent surplus, 92 per cent adequate and two per cent short. Straw is 14 per cent surplus, 78 per cent adequate and eight per cent short. Feed grain is 11 per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate and four per cent short.
Sunday’s precipitation stopped any field work including spraying for weeds, applying fertilizer, harrowing fields. Livestock producers are busy moving cattle home for the winter, hauling bales and marketing livestock. Servicing equipment continues. There won’t be a crop report next week as the Ministry of Agriculture will take next week to gather as much information about this growing season as possible for the final report, which will be released on October 30.

‘Soul Man’ hits the Cugnet Stage
Directly from the stages of Broadway and the Stratford Festival, Lee Siegel presents a retrospective of the greatest soul singers of all time.
Drawing from over twenty of the defining voices of soul music such as Sam Cooke, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Percy Sledge, Smokey Robinson and Edwin Starr, Lee guides his audience through the history of soul with personal recollections on how the music has influenced and guided his life. Featuring the multi-talented Konrad Pluta on keys, this duo has been gracing the stages of Canada and the US since 2008 with their show full of love, laughter and nostalgia.
Siegel’s performance is the second in the 2025-2026 Weyburn Concert Series season, and will be at the Cugnet Centre on Thursday, October 23, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available on showcase.com.
When asked how he developed an interest in soul music, Lee had this to say.
“I grew up in a household that played an eclectic collection of music; Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, Top 40,
Billy Joel, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Motown and Soul music. So it’s been with me since the beginning. I’m grateful to have had parents that encouraged a wide variety of music.”
Looking back at the influences in choosing music as his career path, Lee said, “I began singing in the church choir at the young age of 4, and I remember listening to Lou Rawls playing on the record player in the house. It was just something that was in my bones, and when we realized I could sing, it was always encouraged, and through school, friends would hear me and really supported me to sing more too.” Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and other classic performers influenced Siegel to pursue the type of music that speaks to one’s soul.
“I was enraptured by their voices. I grew interested in the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and 70s and always felt I was born in the wrong decade. I’ve always been fascinated with nostalgia, but their voices and stories have always intrigued me, and in doing this show, it’s my simple way of saying Thank you. Thank you for
being black artists who rose above so much to bring such iconic music to the world, and paving the way for other black artists to achieve their dreams.”
The audience can look forward to a wonderful trip down memory lane with some of the most-loved songs.
“We’re bringing the intimate version of our show your way. We have a full 10-piece version, and we have a more paired down show, and this one is just myself and my musical director, Konrad Pluta (with a few bells and whistles along the way). We’re going to sing and perform a wide range of songs from 1955, with Solomon Burke (the King of Rock and Soul music), and the beginning of “SOUL” music as we know it, through to Stevie Wonder. These are songs that have inspired me, or inspired a nation.
“We’re going to laugh. There might be a few tears. I’ll be sharing some “behind the scenes” stories about these songs and the icons behind them. We’ll do some singing and dancing together, and just sharing this legendary music that’s
been the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.”
This is Siegel’s first time visiting Weyburn and he was asked what he’s looking forward to during his time here.
“I’ve never been to Weyburn before and in my spare time I do photography @ LeeSiegelPhotography (on instagram). I may bring my camera and see what I can capture while there, but I’m very interested in learning whatever I can about Weyburn. Folks can also follow my SOUL MAN journey on instagram by following: @ SoulManTheShow.”
When asked what else he’d like to share, Lee said, “If people would like to hear more of my music, it’s available on Spotify, or on my brand-new album, SOUL MAN, which will be available for purchase at the show. It features some of my favourite songs from the show, fully orchestrated. Also, it’s nearing that time of year, so if you’re looking for new holiday songs to add to the upcoming holiday playlists, you can add me to that too. Konrad and I have an original song that I wrote called: “Unwrap These Arms”, and I do a Stevie Wonder holiday classic that
I love, too.
“But most importantly, the world right now is so heavy and dark, and honestly this show is about bringing hope back to our hearts, and remembering the LOVE in the world. We just finished a version of the show in Swift Current, and so many people raved and were grateful for a night of smiles, and laughs and creating positive memories. It warms my heart that I have a small part in lifting someone’s spirits, even if just for a couple hours together.”
Lee Siegel will perform on the Cugnet Centre stage on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

FROM THE SIDELINES: Seeking a more realistic bucket list
Norm Park/SaskToday.ca
First off, a belated thanks to provincial crop producers, those people that make things work in Saskatchewan.
It was the Thanksgiving weekend, and as usual, some of you sat down to a turkey meal, pumpkin pie, or an extra cup of coffee because it was Thanksgiving and we didn’t really give much thought to the actual reason behind this holiday.
So let’s remember: it’s supposed to be about giving thanks for a harvest that brings food and good graces to general, massive populations, without fear or favour, as the legal system would say. Now, on to bucket list manipulations.
Last week I came to the realization I am not qualified to ever serve as the official Saskatchawanderer. In fact, I’m not even sure I spelt it correctly.
As we should all know, this is a person who is hired by government (I assume) to wander around the province, pointing out various highlights and, yes, some silliness and strangeness to be found in Saskatchewan. He or she takes more than a few months to view, record, participate in local events, and visit some of our scenic vistas, or not-so-scenic, but definitely interesting locations that the average motorist, tourist, or even local resident should visit.
I view it as a fun job, but realize it has demands, schedules, and probably a lot of unexpected activities that keep the wanderer transfixed in the Saskatchewan environment.
So why do I not qualify?
Well, for one thing, I’ve never been to the town of Assiniboia, another difficultto-spell location that is just down the road from where I reside. That’s shameful.
I’ve never been to the Cypress Hills either, so I bow my head and prepare for the 20 lashes for neglecting these provincial sites, among others.
Without going into great detail regarding long-time bucket lists that we might have, or might have had in years past, I am now re-making my list and crafting it more modestly and realistically.
I would simply like to visit more of Saskatchewan.
At one time, I dreamt of communing with elephants in their natural environment, not in a circus ring, zoo, or wild animal park. I would have liked to have observed a beluga whale in ocean action.
The bride has witnessed some of these events, and even without photographic evidence, her description of special moments, such as viewing a mother cheetah hauling two cubs to a safer location, was a thrill.
And hey, I got to visit with a herd of camels in a natural setting, so I am not bereft of special experiences with animals, wild or otherwise. I mean, what’s more fun than playing with a regular canine?
My cousin befriended a wolf from the wild when he was around 12 years old, living on a ranch. Grant was a wonderful horse, dog, wolf whisperer before that ever became a thing. He just knew how to commune with the animal world and didn’t make a big deal out of it since he grew up around horses and wildlife.
So instead of heading to jungles, caves, oceans, or mountain peaks, I’m hoping to someday visit Assiniboia.
A modest bucket list is now in my repertoire.
I lived in Prince Albert for the better part of one year, so I visited Waskesiu but didn’t get to La Ronge. I’ve been to

all of Saskatchewan’s cities and a lot of our larger towns, but I’m sure there are a number of villages or hamlets in our crazy province that should be visited, not for any major happening, but just to take a look around. Does it have a grocery or convenience store, a service station, a post office (nope, not going to submit an opinion on that topic), or some type of general store or restaurant?
I drive by long-forgotten farm homes and recall stories I heard about early farming days in Saskatchewan, when a quarter or half-section was enough to provide a living and an occasional profit.
Now we have corporate farms, some still operated by families, usually containing a vastness of crops. Or, as one veteran farmer once told me during a visit: “We used to have neighbours right over there, less than a quarter-mile away, and another just down the road, and we could visit.”
He is retired, so one more crumbling farm home and shed will be added to the Saskatchewan vista.
Reality means sometimes a foreign or unknown Canadian company owns the bulk of our land, but that doesn’t mean the crops suffer.
I will continue to tour the Saskatch-
ewan farmlands and marvel at the way the agriculture world has adopted and adapted to diverse crops, techniques, and larger synchronized equipment. I will keep those road trips on my bucket list.
I mean, why not stop in at the village café or town’s service station, grab a soft drink or coffee, have a quick chat, and make a few circuits of the streets before heading back out on the highway? I can give myself an additional 12 minutes, can’t I?
I won’t run across any elephants, but might see a coyote, fox, deer, or moose if I’m lucky. That can stir the heart probably as much as an elephant’s bleating roar. I once watched a coyote trying to chase down a rabbit in a fallow field. I exited my vehicle and viewed the chase with my camera. The coyote spotted me in midchase, and immediately sat down, ever alert, and simply stared at me for about a minute from about five metres away before loping away. To me, that Saskatchewan experience could be just as thrilling as watching a whale surface.
I guess it’s just how we acknowledge and interpret our special events that should never be taken for granted. Let’s enjoy them.
Weyburn Police respond to assaults, arrest individual on breach of probation

Red Wings win sixth straight game, sit in first place
Weyburn Red Wings secured two big-time wins against the Flin Flon Bombers and Nipawin Hawks over the weekend, to bring their winning streak to six games. The Wings are currently ranked first in the Sask. Junior Hockey League.
The Wings won 5-1 over the Flin Flon Bombers on Friday night. Josh Karman opened the scoring for Weyburn with the lone goal in the first period. The Wings remained strong in the second period, with Callas Pierce notching a powerplay goal, Karman scoring his second of the night, and Simon Martin lighting the lamp for the third goal of the period.
In the third, Jonah Bierd scored a powerplay goal, with the Bombers scoring their only goal of the game in the last 50 seconds of the period.
Preston Patenaude was in net for the entire game.
In the first 20 minutes, he stopped seven out of seven shots on net, and then went on to stop 27 out of 28 shots.
The Red Wings won 6-2 over the Nipawin Hawks on Saturday night. In the first period, Lucas Schmid, Bierd and Turner McIntyre all scored early goals for Weyburn, with the Hawks only scoring once.
In the second period, Luke Dekay and Trennan Redlick added goals to boost Weyburn’s lead. The Hawks scored early in the third period for their second goal of the game, and the win for the Wings was secured when Schmid scored at the 14:59 mark.
Ty Matonovich was in net for the win, and stopped 26 out of 28 shots.
The Wings won 4-3 in a shootout over the Kindersley Klippers on October 14. Callas Pierce opened the scoring during a powerplay for Weyburn at the 6:10 mark of the first period.
The Klippers scored back-to-back powerplay goals early in the second period before Turner McIntyre tied up the score with a goal at the 12:05 mark. In the third period, Jonah Bierd scored for Weyburn at the 2:01 mark, and just over five minutes later the Klippers scored to tie the game sending it to overtime. Adam Savage Keller and Luke Dekay secured the win for Weyburn by both scoring in the shootout. Both goaltenders, Mattias Radke of the Klippers and Preston Patenaude of the Wings were brilliant on the night. Radke made 45 stops and Patenaude made 33 stops for his fourth win in net.
The next Red Wings games will be a home-andhome series against the Estevan Bruins, with Weyburn traveling to Estevan on Saturday, November 1, and then hosting the Bruins on Sunday, November 2.
Gold Wings split road games with Swift Current
The Weyburn Gold Wings split two road games with Swift Current, during recent action in the Sask. Female U18 AA Hockey League.
The Gold Wings won 3-2 during their Sunday game against the Wildcats. Swift Current had an early lead with two goals in the first period, but the Wings had a strong second period with three goals for the win. Two goals were scored by Harper Dancilla, with a short-handed goal by Liv Peck to se-
