The expansion reflects Weyburn Credit Union’s commitment to serving strong communities, building meaningful relationships, and helping more people experience the benefits of cooperative banking. “Pilot Butte is a strong fit for Weyburn Credit Union,” said Krista Hubic, Chief Strategy and Solutions Office. “Its growth, strong sense of community, and appreciation for local, relationship-based financial advice make it a natural fit for our member-owned approach.

We believe that’s a natural fit for who we are as an organization.” “Our goal is simple: to bring our approach to banking and advice to more people while continuing to strengthen Weyburn Credit Union for all members. We’re excited to build relationships, support local success, and become part of what’s next for Pilot Butte.” Weyburn Credit Union looks forward to building relationships, supporting local success, and becoming part of the Pilot Butte c o m m u n i t y.

Lazy day ride to Moose Jaw By Trudy and Dale Buxton, Publishers of The Independent

This has been a great day for travelling on the motorcycle, not overly hot, maybe even a little on the cool side, but there has been no wind, and the roads have been really good. The real treat is to take the time to enjoy the countryside and look for those hidden gems along the way. We have made the right-hand turn onto Highway 2, and it’s into Moose Jaw we go. Moose Jaw has always been a favourite destination in the province, mostly for the spa which in the wintertime is a treat, being able to be in the comforting hot water at the bitter cold temperatures. On this trip we didn’t stay at the spa, we decided to try the old hotel on the strip, the Grant Hotel. Normally out of our price range but on this day the room fare was the same as most of the hotels in the area. The Grant Hotel, named after Grant Hall, who was the vice-president of operations on the Canadian Pacific Railway, was built way back in 1927. It was a community-led association and with some help from the railway the project was complete. For over six decades the hotel served as the premier hotel for many events and the hotel housed many famous people from time to time including the royalty from Britain, John Diefenbaker and even singer, Gene Autry. Like many older buildings the upkeep is essential to its longevity and in this case was closed down in 1989 due to severe wear and neglect, and for over a decade was left in the ruins and almost destroyed until the one dollar purchase in 2001 and a multimillion dollar investment to bring it back again to one of the premier hotels in Moose Jaw. I have to say, this was a treat to stay in this historic hotel. Today, Moose Jaw has a population of

around 34,000 people and was named after the Cree meaning a warm place by the river, or from the local bend of the river which kinda looks like a moose’s jaw. However, some humorous myths about the name suggest a wagon cart filled with bones of a moose’s jaw bone, I like the first one. Moose Jaw has been linked to the famous, Al Capone. No evidence really exists but it’s fun to think that the notorious Mob boss was in Moose Jaw, plying his “trade” during Prohibition - the nickname for the city became “Little Chicago.” With all the hype of Little Chicago and spurred on the underground tunnels, which today there are now three tunnels to enjoy: The Chicago Connection which tells the story of Al Capone and prohibition days; The Passage to Fortune which tells the story of the Chinese immigration to Canada; and the new tunnel, Bunker 24 which tells the story of the growth of the nation through the Second World War and the Cold War. Tourism in Moose Jaw is a very important part of the economic structure in the city, along with some industrial and agriculture aspects. We couldn’t go on without the mention of the most famous Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds. The Snowbirds were established in 1971 at the 15 Wing in Moose Jaw and have been a staple in air shows across Canada and the world for the past 55 years. The Snowbirds, however, have come to an end, and the current CT-114 Tutors have been retired at the end of the 2026 season, being replaced with another plane sometime in the future. This has been a good visit, stay tuned next week as we cover another exciting trip of The Saskatchewan Traveller.

The Snowbirds were established in 1971 at 15 Wing Moose Jaw.

Opinion: Saskatchewanians deserve a gas tax cut too

Gage Haubrich Canadian Taxpayers Federation The Alberta government cut its gas tax to save drivers money. The Prince Edward Island government cut its gas tax too. Prime Minister Mark Carney extended his own gas tax cut to make life more affordable. Even the Parti Québécois, currently leading Quebec election polling, is promising to cut gas taxes if elected. But not Saskatchewan. The price of gasoline in Saskatchewan is about $1.82 per litre. The price of diesel is about $2.47 per litre. For gasoline, that’s about a 50-cent-per-litre increase since March. And those high prices are made worse by Premier Scott Moe charging Saskatchewan drivers a provincial tax of 15 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel every time they head to the pump. Moe’s gas tax adds $11 to the cost of filling up a minivan or $15 when filling up a pickup truck. Albertans are saving $9 when they bring their minivan to the gas station or $13 for a truck because the Alberta government cut its 13-cent-per-litre fuel tax. “It’s direct relief that will help Albertans keep more of their hard-earned money,” said Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Drivers in P.E.I are also saving because of the government’s cut. “Now is the time to let Islanders keep their hard-earned money in their pockets,” said P.E.I Premier Rob Lantz. “Gas prices are really affecting families and Island businesses right now.” “This will provide meaningful relief for families and businesses and help make everyday life more affordable,” said Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne about extending the federal cut. So why don’t Saskatchewanians deserve the same relief? In Saskatchewan, driving isn’t a luxury. People commuting for work can’t take a flight from Swift Current to Moose Jaw or a train from Regina to Saskatoon. The only option is to get in your car and drive.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada.

And the government should make that option as affordable as possible. The Saskatchewan NDP agrees and is also calling on the government to cut the gas tax as other governments have done. In response to the NDP and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the Saskatchewan government usually says it won’t cut the gas tax because that means less money can be spent on fixing the province’s roads. But that’s not how it works. All the money the government takes from Saskatchewanians in taxes goes into one big account called the “General Revenue Fund.” It can be spent on anything. Giving Saskatchewanians a break at the pump doesn’t have to impact one cent of what the provincial government spends on road maintenance. And since the government has extra cash right now for the same reason that gas prices are so high, it doesn’t have to change spending from its budget at all to give Saskatchewanians the tax relief they need. Plus, the government didn’t do anything extra to collect that revenue. World events happened around it and the government collected a cheque. And those same world events are making life more expensive for the average Saskatchewanian trying to get from point A to B. The government should use its windfall to alleviate that pain by cutting the gas tax. The government is projected to take in about $512 million this year in the fuel tax. It’s also taking in about $331 million more in revenue than it projected, mostly from natural resource revenues. That means the Saskatchewan government can cut the gas tax for about eight months without even thinking of finding a dollar of savings in the budget. A driver filling up their pickup truck once a week would save about $480 during that time. That’s a serious amount of savings when family budgets are being pushed to the brink. Other governments are recognizing the pain that high gas prices cause and doing something about it. Why not Saskatchewan?

Weyburn This Week

Community spirit and giving back are key features of Communithon

Submitted The countdown is on! The Communithon will bring two fun-filled days of entertainment, friendly competition and community spirit to the Weyburn Legion. This year’s event is an opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate local talent, enjoy some friendly rivalry and support the eight local member agencies that help make Weyburn a stronger, more connected community. The festivities begin with opening ceremonies at 8 a.m. Friday, October 23, launching a jam-packed schedule of activities and performances for all ages. From school music, choir and band performances to the always-popular air band competitions, there will be

plenty of reasons to stop by, cheer on participants and soak up the Communithon atmosphere. Attendees can look forward to a lineup of exciting and entertaining events, including Office Olympics, cornhole, a pie-eating competition, a pet parade and the Weymazing Race finale. As Halloween approaches, the Monster Mash Halloween Dance will add even more fun to the festivities. And, of course, no Communithon would be complete without its famous air band competitions, bringing big performances, creativity and plenty of laughs to the stage. “Communithon is about so much more than fundraising. It’s about bringing people together, celebrating what makes Weyburn special and supporting the

organizations that care for our community,” said the Weyburn Communithon Foundation. “We want people to come down to the Legion, enjoy the entertainment, cheer on their friends, family and coworkers, and be part of something that makes a difference right here at home.” For more than 40 years, Communithon has helped raise funds for local agencies and programs that support people throughout Weyburn. Every donation helps strengthen the work of the eight member agencies and the important services they provide to community members. Whether it is watching a favourite performance, taking part in the excitement, supporting a local team or simply enjoying the atmosphere, everyone is welcome.

“Bring your family, invite your friends and come experience the community spirit that makes Communithon such a special Weyburn tradition.” With two days packed full of entertainment, laughter, friendly competition and opportunities to give back, this year’s Communithon promises to be an event the community won’t want to miss. The Weyburn Communithon kicks off Friday, October 23, at 8 a.m. at the Weyburn Legion and continues into Saturday, October 24. Come for the entertainment, stay for the community spirit, and help make a difference for Weyburn’s eight local member agencies. There are plenty of ways to support the Weyburn Communithon and make a difference for the eight local member agencies! Community members can donate online by visiting the Weyburn Commu-

nithon website, contribute in person at the Weyburn Legion during the event, or call 306-504-GOAL (4625) throughout the two-day event to make a donation. Every contribution helps support the important work of the local agencies and the individuals and families they serve. Access Now TV is the producer and a valued supporter of the Weyburn Communithon, helping bring the excitement and community spirit of this two-day event to viewers at home. For those who can’t

make it to the Legion in person, the live stream will be available through the Access Now TV app and the Access Now TV YouTube channel. The live stream link will also be shared on the Weyburn Communithon website and social media platforms on the morning of the event, making it easy for everyone to tune in, cheer on local performers and take part in the Communithon spirit from wherever they are.

Benny Walchuk SaskToday.ca The Weyburn Red Wings extended their winning streak to six games with a 7-1 victory over the Estevan Bruins on October 16. The Red Wings enter the new week with a 9-3 record and 18 points and offence has been rolling, with 58 goals scored through 12 games, while the Red Wings have received contributions from throughout their lineup. Pierce on Target, Karakochuk Is Cooking Two names to keep an eye on early on in the SJHL goal scoring race are Weyburn’s Callas Pierce and

Nipawin’s Mason Karakochuk, as both forwards continue to show their ability to find the back of the net. Pierce’s scoring touch has helped fuel Weyburn’s winning streak reaching 10 goals through 11 games including a hat-trick against La Ronge. Karakochuk has also been making noise for the Nipawin Hawks. The forward scored twice in Nipawin’s 8-1 victory over the Yorkton Terriers last Friday, helping the Hawks explode for six goals in the opening period and now sits with a league-leading 11 on the season.

Southeast producers are shifting their attention to post-harvest fieldwork, including harrowing, spraying for weeds and servicing equipment. Livestock producers continue to haul bales and market livestock Weekend precipitation, including rain and snow, brought field activities to a standstill and was welcomed by producers who had finished harvesting. Many areas in the southeast received notable precipitation during the reporting period, improving soil moisture and benefiting pastures. The Coalfields area received 28 millimetres (mm) of precipitation, the highest amount recorded in the province. The Mount Pleasant and Enniskillen areas reported the secondhighest total with 24 mm, followed by the Indian Head area with 22 mm. Cropland topsoil moisture is: 13 per cent surplus; and 87 per cent adequate. Hayland topsoil moisture is: seven per cent surplus; 92 per cent adequate; and one per cent short.

Ministerial: Doing right by God’s perspective

Submitted by Pastor Cherian Poonnoose The Lighthouse Church Dear Readers, allow me to explain the purpose of this article. Every day we make countless decisions in our life. We are living in a culture that if ‘it feels right then do it’ or ‘you be you’. In the Bible, in the book of Judges chapter 17 verse 6 it states - In those days there was no King in Israel, everyone did what was right in his own eyes. This is not a safe place. Let me explain. As human beings we are prone to err in some of the decisions we make. From the outside it looks attractive and promising but in reality it can be devastating and have serious consequences in our lives. An individual from the Church shared that when they were browsing through the internet and were seriously looking for a relationship, they found someone very charming.

Their first instinct was I believe this is the right person. They asked me for my advice. I told them that I will pray and get back to them. As I was praying for this individual,God directed me to a scripture found in the book of Proverbs chapter 14 verse 12- There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. I shared my insight with the above individual. Their response was not happy nor convinced. I left it at that because I was convinced that the Word of God given to me cannot fail. After a couple of weeks, get a call from this same individual saying I am very sorry but thank you for your advice. It saved me from a con artist and if I fell for what I felt was right, I would have been thoroughly disappointed. Does it profit when we do right from God’s perspective? I read an interview with the President and

Chief Operating officer of Chick-fil-A Dan Cathy. When asked if Chick-filA’s success is attributed to biblical values. Dan Cathy quickly said: I think they are inseparable. God wants to give us wisdom to make good decisions and choices. Quoting the book of James chapter i verse 5. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. When questioned about Chick-Fil A’s policy on being closed on Sunday. Dan Cathy responded: It was not an issue in1946 when we opened our first restaurant. But as living standards changed and lifestyle changed, people came to be more active on Sundays. We’ve always put in our lease that we will be closed on Sundays. We’ve had a track record that we were generating more business in six days than the other tenants were generating in

seven days. I would like to close with what the writer from Psalms says in Psalm 139 verses 13-18. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. our eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you. I am convinced God made us and have experienced Him as a good Father and He desires to give good gifts to his children. God bless you all!

Targeted enforcement in province results in 46 arrests, 44 warrants executed in September

SaskToday From executing outstanding warrants to disrupting drug trafficking and seizing illegal firearms, Saskatchewan RCMP’s Saskatchewan Enforcement Response Teams (SERT) continued targeted enforcement efforts across the province throughout September. Saskatchewan RCMP’s SERT – which includes Crime Reduction Teams (CRT), the Human Trafficking and Counter Exploitation Unit (HTCEU), Offender Management Unit (OMU), Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Teams (STRT) and Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Teams (WEST) – helps protect community well-being by tackling serious and gangrelated crimes and taking dangerous drugs and weapons off the streets. As a result of criminal investigations across the province last month, Saskatchewan RCMP’s SERT: Made 46 arrests; Laid 39 charges; Exe-

cuted 44 warrant arrests; Facilitated 11 search warrants; and seized seven firearms, 773 grams of cocaine, and 30 grams of methamphetamine. Investigational highlights from September include: • On September 9, Lloydminster Saskatchewan Trafficking and Response Team (STRT) executed a search warrant at a residence in Lloydminster. During the search, officers located and seized approximately 41 grams of cocaine, 19 grams of methamphetamine, two firearms, ammunition, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. A man was arrested and charged. • On September 16, Yorkton STRT arrested a man at a property in Yorkton. A search warrant was executed at the property, and officers located and seized 701 grams of cocaine, 85 pills of unknown composition, cash, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. Saskatchewan RCMP

orchestrated a four-day proactive initiative aimed at suppressing crime and improving safety in the Battlefords area from September 9 to 12. • On September 17, 12 individuals were arrested as well as six firearms and 28 grams of cocaine seized as a result of Saskatchewan RCMP’s Prince Albert Crime Reduction Unit (CRT) drug trafficking investigation. Significant arrests executed in September include: • On September 2, WEST attended Mistawasis First Nation and located a male wanted for multiple offences involving firearms, three counts of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and fail to comply. • On September 2, Prince Albert WEST arrested a woman for her warrants from Shellbrook RCMP. Offences were sexual assault and sexual interference. • On September 3, Prince Albert WEST ar-

rested a Top 100 Offender in the city of Prince Albert. She was wanted by Melfort RCMP for offences of robbery, uttering threats and assault. “These results demonstrate the impact of focused, intelligence-led enforcement across Saskatchewan. SERT teams are identifying and targeting individuals and criminal activity that pose a significant risk to our communities,” said Superintendent. Andrew Farquhar from Saskatchewan RCMP’s Saskatchewan Enforcement Response Team (SERT) in a release. “Every arrest, seizure and investigation contributes to our broader goal of making Saskatchewan communities safer.”

SaskToday The South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s board covered a number of topics at its monthly meeting October 14 in Weyburn. Among the highlights, the board approved a motion to not review any schools for closure in the 2026-27 school year. A motion to consider viability would be a first step in the school review process. A report from the meeting noted annual school community council (SCC) meetings are happening across the division this fall. The board said it is grateful for those individuals who stepped forward to enhance the connection between the community and schools, and it appreciates all the work of the SCCs. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the

amalgamation of six schools to create the South East Cornerstone Public School Division and the 20th anniversary of the South East Cornerstone Teachers’ Association. For a 12-month period ending September 30, director of education Keith Keating approved 179 internal student transfers and 11 transfers to schools outside of the division, which was a slight increase from the previous year. A couple of student transfers were denied during the same time frame, the meeting report said. The number of yearly transfers has been decreasing since the COVID-19 pandemic years. Transfers reached a high of 758 in 2020-21, the division said. On average, 294 student transfers have been processed annually since the 2018-19 school year.

Hunters raise alarm as province ends disease testing

John Cairns SaskToday.ca The province will not be continuing testing for chronic wasting disease beyond the end of the month. In a statement the Ministry of Environment confirmed it will end its chronic wasting disease testing program as of Ocotber 31, including both discretionary and mandatory testing. Chronic wasting disease is a disease that afflicts wildlife such as deer and elk. “Program uptake among hunters has been low so this was seen as an opportunity for efficiency. The government made this decision earlier this fall,” the ministry said in a statement. The ministry also said that the province “continues to recognize CWD as an important wildlifehealth issue. The decision to end government-funded testing does not mean CWD has disappeared or that it is no longer import-

ant to wildlife management decisions. While the discontinuation of the CWD head testing program will end one source of information available to wildlife managers, the ministry will continue to monitor wildlife health and populations using a variety of other management tools and information sources.” The ministry has posted that samples from mandatory testing zones submitted before Ocotber 31 will be processed. But samples from voluntary submission zones will not be tested. But a number of hunting and wildlife groups have publicly expressed concerns about the testing program ending. Those have included the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and Saskatchewan Trappers Association. In a statement on social media Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation said it was “stunned” by the govern-

ment’s decision to end testing. They said the decision “removes an important tool for monitoring a disease that continues to threaten Saskatchewan’s wildlife.” SWF said testing provides information about where CWD occurs and how its prevalence changes over time. Ending surveillance will reduce the information available to hunters, researchers and wildlife managers working to understand and respond to the disease.” The Facebook group Sask CWD posted its dismay about the decision. “The many hunters who have already submitted heads and samples from big game harvested this year have wasted their time and effort in doing so if your animal was not harvested in one of the provinces mandatory submission zones.

Strong oil prices see consistent drilling activity, but no surge overall

Brian Zinchuk Pipeline Online With oil prices in the US$90 range, drilling activity in Saskatchewan remains consistent, but has not seen a surge overall. Cenovus, however, is seeing some of its strongest numbers in years. There were 37 drilling rigs active or moving in Saskatchewan on September 24 according to RiggerTalk. com, which publishes data from the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors. As usual, Precision Drilling dominated activity in the northwest, while Stampede Drilling did the same in the southeast. Activity is still very anemic in the southwest, with just one rig drilling. Notably no one was drilling for he-

lium on that date. Starting in northwest Saskatchewan, there were 11 rigs making hole. Akita Drilling Rig 8 and Precision Drilling Rig 151 were working for Cenovus Energy in close proximity to each north of Paradise Hill. Just east of Lloydminster, PD Rig 150 was drilling for Cenovus. PD Rigs 187 and 197 were drilling for Cenovus southwest of Bolney. Ensign Drilling Rig 534 was drilling for Cenovus northwest of Turtleford. PD Rig 294 was drilling at Pikes Peak and PD 198 just south of Pikes Peak, again for Cenovus. PD Rigs 254 and 146 were drilling near Edam. If you’re counting, that’s nine rigs working for Cenovus alone. And that

is a significant number for Cenovus, getting close to the number of rigs Husky used to operate in the region many years ago. Canadian Natural Resources Limited had PD Rig 186 drilling just north of Maidstone. Durham employed Savanna Drilling Rig 419 south of Neilburg. In west central Saskatchewan, just south of Macklin, Bonanza Drilling Rig 1 was drilling for Strathcona Resources. North and northeast of Kindersley, a cluster of six rigs were working. Baytex Energy had Savanna Rig 441 east of Coleville. ISH Energy Ltd. had Edge Drilling Rig 6 north of Kindersley. Just a few miles to the east, Teine Energy had Ensign Rig 351 drilling.

Moving a little further east, Whitecap Resources Inc. had PD Rig 288 drilling. Saturn Oil and Gas had Savanna Rig 425 drilling near Stranraer. A few miles south, Teine’s second rig, Ensign Rig 350 was working. Teine’s third rig, Savanna Rig 626, was drilling northwest of Plato. Those total eight rigs in west central Saskatchewan. In the southwest, only one rig was working. Savanna Rig 606 was drilling for Bull Pine south of Shaunavon. In central Saskatchewan, Akita Rig 35 was drilling west of Lanigan for Nutrien (but it’s listed as “Potash Corp of Saskatchewan”). Buffalo Potash employed Savanna Rig 629 east of Bethune.

Fifteen rigs were working in the southeast. Betts Drilling Rig 2 was working south of Weyburn for Aldon Oils Ltd. Stampede Drilling Rig 22 was drilling just west of Oungre. Saturn had Stampede Rig 8 drilling northwest of Torquay. Panther Drilling Rig 2 was drilling near Halbrite for Whitecap. North of Midale, Cardinal Energy was drilling in the Midale Unit with Stampede Rig 7. Homestead Energy Ltd. was drilling east of Macoun with Stampede Rig 3. East of Corning, Whitecap was drilling with Panther Rig 3. Northeast of Forget, Horizon Drilling rig 29 was drilling for Saturn. Stampede Rig 19 was drilling for Saturn east of Carlyle.

The usual cluster of rigs around Lampman has grown to five. Southwest of Lampman, Saturn was drilling with Stampede Rig 1. Just northwest of Lampman, Whitecap was drilling with Stampede Rig 17 (a long drive from the golf course might come close to hitting the mud tank. Well, maybe not that close, but you get the idea.) Just east of Lampman, Whitecap had Ensign Rig 423 turning to the right. Southeast of Lampman, Stampede Rig 2 was drilling for Surge Energy Inc. And south of Lampman, Hummingbird Energy Inc had Alliance Drilling Rig 3 in its usual stomping grounds. Finally, Stampede Rig 4 was drilling south of Roche Percee for Tundra Oil and Gas.

New Pacific oil pipeline an important project

Jon Tupper SaskToday.ca Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a proposed new oil pipeline to Canada’s West Coast is in the national interest, formally advancing the project known as Pacific Link. The proposed pipeline is expected to carry about one million barrels of crude per day to overseas markets and has the support of the governments of Canada and Alberta, along with privatesector partners. Once completed, Pacific Link is expected to gen-

erate more than $20 billion in GDP for Canadians. The designation moves the project forward under the federal government’s Building Canada Act and marks a major step toward expanding Canada’s access to international energy markets. The project is part of a broader effort by Ottawa and Alberta to diversify Canada’s trading relationships and reduce the country’s reliance on the United States as its primary customer for crude oil. That need has taken on

greater urgency during the ongoing trade dispute with the United States and has been a priority for the Carney government since the prime minister took office on March 14, 2025. The pipeline proposal grew out of a memorandum of understanding signed by Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Noember. 27, 2025, setting out the intention to pursue national-interest designation for a new Pacific oil pipeline. Alberta formally submitted the West Coast pipe-

October public offering raises $29m

Submitted The Government of Saskatchewan’s fourth Crown oil and natural gas public offering of the fiscal year, held on October 6, generated over $29 million in revenue with bids in the Lloydminster area earning the highest amount, followed closely by bids in the Estevan, Swift Current, and Kin-

dersley areas. Bids were accepted on 75 parcels, including 69 leases and six exploration licences, covering a combined area of 22,350 hectares. Bidding in the Estevan area generated $5,821,007. The six exploration licences brought in a total of $19,829,283. Two of these licences were posted in the

Estevan area, three were posted in the Swift Current area, and the remaining licence was posted in the Lloydminster area. The next offering is scheduled for December 1.

line proposal to the federal Major Projects Office on July 2. The federal government then published a 30-day notice in the Canada Gazette on August 1 as part of the process toward formally designating the project in the national interest. October 1 was the deadline established for that decision. Pacific Link is expected to have capacity of about one million barrels per day, providing Alberta producers with greater access to customers beyond North America. Greater market access has also been a recurring priority for Smith. During a recent fireside chat at the Oil Sands Expo at MacDonald Island Park in Fort McMurray, the premier again emphasized the importance of expanding the customer base for Alberta oil and reducing dependence on a single major export market. The national-interest designation does not mean construction can begin immediately. The project will still require detailed regulatory work, Indigenous consultation and continued privatesector investment before moving into construction. Ottawa and Alberta have said the broader strategy is intended to increase Canadian energy exports while giving producers greater access to global markets and reducing the country’s vulnerability to changing trade relationships.

Buffalo Potash prepares to test HLD system at Disley project

Nicole Goldsworthy, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, SaskToday Buffalo Potash has finished drilling all five wells for its Initial Production Module northwest of Regina, but company president and chief operating officer Quinton Hardage says the next phase will determine whether the underground system can connect the wells and produce potash-rich brine at the expected rate. The milestone completes the drilling portion of the Initial Production Module, or IPM, at Buffalo’s Disley project, which consists of two vertical wells and three horizontal wells. The company announced completion of the final horizontal well September 25. “We’ve shown we can drill horizontal wells right along the bottom of the richest part of the potash bed and installed equipment (multi-stage packers) in each well that helps us control where fluid goes underground,” Hardage said in an interview. “Next, we will work to connect and produce potash-rich brine at the expected rate, which the next phase will test.” That distinction is significant. Completing the wells demonstrates that Buffalo was able to install the underground infrastructure according to its design, but it does not demonstrate that its Horizontal Line-Drive, or HLD, system can successfully produce potash at commercial rates. Buffalo’s own disclosure states that HLD has not operated at commercial scale and that successful

drilling does not guarantee successful brine circulation or commercial production. According to Buffalo Potash Corp., each of the three horizontal wells is about 565 metres long and achieved approximately 95 per cent contact with the targeted basal Belle Plaine clay seam. Each was also equipped with an 11-stage packer system. Hardage explained that the 95 per cent figure means the wells remained within the thin clay layer for about 95 per cent of their horizontal length. The clay sits beneath the highest-grade potash and is intended to provide a pathway allowing fluid to move between the parallel wells. “That clay sits just below the highest-grade potash and acts as a natural pathway that allows fluid to flow between the parallel wells to efficiently create a mining plane,” he said. Attention will now turn to brine circulation. Hardage said circulation is planned to begin in October or November, with the company expecting to establish communication between the wells within seven to 21 days after the process begins. The first test will be whether the packer systems are connected and communicating underground, he said. Buffalo then plans to increase the injection rate to establish the mining plane before testing the resulting potassium chloride, or KClrich, production brine. The company will monitor the brine to determine the temperature, pressure and injection

rate needed to maximize KCl production efficiently, Hardage said. If that process is successful, the IPM is designed to produce 125,000 tonnes of soluble-grade potash annually, with Buffalo targeting first production in the first quarter of 2027. Those figures remain targets rather than demonstrated production capacity, said Buffalo Potash Corp. The company has also cautioned investors that its decision to develop the IPM was not based on a feasibility study establishing mineral reserves and demonstrating economic and technical viability. No mineral reserves have been established at Disley, and Buffalo acknowledges proceeding without that level of study carries a higher risk of technical and economic failure. Hardage said Buffalo has raised roughly $23 million during the past 12 months, which has gone toward advancing the IPM. The company did not provide an updated estimate of the remaining capital required to bring the module into production. The project has provided work for Saskatchewan residents during development. Hardage said approximately 35 to 45 Saskatchewan residents have been involved when employees of service companies are included. If the IPM reaches production, Buffalo anticipates about 14 fulltime positions associated directly with the module, along with related employment in trucking and service industries, he said. Water use is another

area where Buffalo says its proposed mining system differs from conventional solution mining. Hardage said the mining process would not require fresh water. Instead, Buffalo plans to use brackish water from the Mannville formation and recycle most of that water after the KCl is removed. Spent brine would be injected deep underground into the Deadwood formation through a disposal well, he said. The IPM is not designed to require surface tailings storage or brine ponds. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment determined in September that the IPM does not meet the definition of a “development” under section 2(d) of the province’s Environmental Assessment Act and therefore does not require an environmental impact assessment. Buffalo submitted its technical proposal to the ministry on August 20 before receiving the ministerial determination announced September 17. The determination

should not be interpreted as provincial verification that HLD will work commercially. The ministry decision concerned whether the proposed IPM met the statutory criteria requiring an environmental impact assessment, while the technology’s commercial performance has yet to be demonstrated. For Hardage, the potential significance of HLD extends beyond the initial module. He said the modular system could allow potash operations to begin at a smaller scale and expand by adding additional modules, rather than requiring a full-scale development from the outset. He also said avoiding fresh water in the mining process could potentially make other known Saskatchewan potash deposits more viable for development. Buffalo’s longer-term plans contemplate two additional 500,000-tonneper-year mines, Disley East and Disley West. Together with the planned

125,000-tonne IPM, the company’s preliminary economic assessment contemplates eventual production of as much as 1.125 million tonnes annually. Those projections are preliminary and there is no certainty they will be achieved. The Disley property covers approximately 10,610 hectares about 50 kilometres northwest of Regina, east of the K+S Bethune potash solution mine and north of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine operation. Buffalo cautions that mineralization at neighbouring properties is not necessarily indicative of what will be found or produced at Disley. For now, the more immediate question is w h e t h e r B u ff a l o c a n move beyond successful drilling and establish consistent underground communication among the wells. The planned brine-circulation tests will provide the company’s next indication of whether its HLD concept can function as intended at the IPM.

SaskToday The Weyburn Fire Department responded to 23 calls for service in September, totaling 122 hours, according to Acting Fire Chief Mike Wock’s activity report for September. The department, which consists of six full-time career staff and 23 paid-oncall firefighters, held four training nights and one meeting night during the month. Crews covered a new hospital tour, transitional attack and VEIS (vent, enter, isolate, search), accountability and water supply, and primary search. Training hours for September totaled 149, bring-

ing the year-to-date total to 1,348 hours across 33 training nights and five meeting nights. Crews also attended several community events in September, including a mock airport disaster exercise with the Regina Airport Authority on September 10, a recruitment open house on September 10, and the Weyburn Red Wings tailgate on September 18. Year-to-date, the department has responded to 178 total emergency responses and accumulated 3,012 hours across training, hose testing and SOP committee sessions. Regular vehicle servicing and upkeep is ongoing, reported Wock.

Weyburn council approves decorative crosswalk policy

SaskToday Weyburn city council approved a new policy governing decorative crosswalks in the city. Council approved a decorative crosswalk policy at the October 13 meeting. It establishes a process for reviewing, approving, installing, maintaining and removing decorative crosswalks on city roads, with the aim of supporting community expression and ensuring public safety and protecting municipal infrastructure, Tina Clay, city clerk, told council. Under the policy, applications will be reviewed by the public works superintendent and director of engineering, with con-

sideration given to public safety, traffic, operations, accessibility, roadway conditions and maintenance implications. Design guidelines are intended to ensure decorative crosswalks don’t interfere with traffic control devices. The policy prohibits inappropriate content, including material promoting discrimination, advertising and political campaigning. Applicants will be responsible for all costs related to design, installation, maintenance, repair and removal of decorative crosswalks unless otherwise approved by council. The city may also remove crosswalks where road maintenance, safety concerns or deterioration require it.

Hey Dads! Do you ever notice one of your kids out of the corner of your eye? Something that just seems off but you’re focused on something else that’s probably highly important. Then you actually turn your head to see what’s going on and maybe there’s a ladder leaning against the house or something is on fire or someone is about to jump out of a tree onto the trampoline. Sometimes dads notice these things and sometimes we don’t. We have people of many ages in our house. Our eldest is 20 and our youngest is two. There are seven girls and three boys. Believe it or not, mom and dad do not always have an eye on everything going on throughout the organization. Well, usually mom does. To keep the organization running almost smoothly each member has various roles and responsibilities. Doing dishes is not an entry level job. It requires some height to reach the sink and some care to prevent the smashing of dishes and such. But little children sometimes want to copy what they see their older siblings do. The other night our two-year old, Juniper, decided she was going to give dishes a shot. Like most toddlers, she is somewhat of an expert at splashing around in water. It was after dinner so family members were strewn about the house in various stages of pre-bedtime preparation. A few family members, including dear ol’ dad, were sitting in the living room within sight of the kitchen. Juniper dragged a tall wooden stool over from the kitchen island to the kitchen sink. If you’ve ever stood on a stool you can maybe see where this is going. My personal experience of standing on stools isn’t positive. Juniper climbed up on the stool, turned on the sink and started “washing” dishes. This meant reaching her tiny arms into the sink, into the flowing water, splashing various items around, spilling water on the floor, etc. Due to her limited body height and limited arm

Noticing what others don’t

length she had to stretch over that tiny strip of counter on the edge of the sink. We soon heard Juniper calling, “Kids! I need help!” All family members within earshot looked over and saw Juniper balancing on her belly with her little feet floating in the air. As her legs hung in the air she had kicked the stool away from counter and was now stuck in limbo and in need of assistance. Big sister Florence came to the rescue and collected Juniper from her precarious position. All is well. We know who is next in line to be on dish duty but perhaps some more training and a step ladder is necessary. Is there a chore around your house that you can train an eager child to do? I suspect there is one or two or a whole pile. Time flies, dad. Make every moment count! Even the precarious ones. Jason Weening helps with chores with his 10 kids and 1 patient wife.
