Weyburn, Saskatchewan Weyburn, Saskatchewan 2018 New Residents Guide Welcome New Residents! On behalf of the City of Weyburn, I would like to welcome you to your new home; I think you will be very happy here! Weyburn was recently voted the 5th best place to live in all of Canada and 1st on the prairies! Our residents benefit from many different housing options whether it is urban or rural, and in every location, services and amenities can be found nearby. Weyburn has big city convenience with small town care and compassion. Our community has low crime rates, economic strength, and amazing recreation options, all of which make Weyburn the perfect place to raise a family; we even have a Starbucks! Being a family oriented community means that children and youth are valued and as such we have many events and festivities that cater to family. I hope new residents will come out and see why we love our city! Weyburn is known throughout Saskatchewan as one of its most beautiful communities. High quality public parks and green spaces create a clean healthy environment, as seen at Jubilee Park or Tatagwa Parkway! If the green spaces in the city aren’t enough, many residents like to escape to nearby lakes and parks for a day of fishing or an easy vacation. I think that new citizens will find Weyburn very welcoming. We are a city that looks out for one another and strives for peace and security. We are a city focused on sustainability and we are proud of how far we have come. Our city council is always looking for new and innovative ways to carry Weyburn into a prosperous future for all of our community members.

    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2015-249 PDF version Reference: Part 1 application posted on 16 September 2014 Ottawa, 11 June 2015 Golden West Broadcasting Ltd. Kindersley, Saskatchewan Application 2014-0929-3 CKVX-FM Kindersley – Technical changes The Commission approves the application by Golden West Broadcasting Ltd. to change the authorized contours of the low-power, English-language commercial radio station CKVX-FM Kindersley. Consequently, the station’s class will change from low-power unprotected to protected Class C. As a result of these changes, local listeners will see an increase in the quality of the station’s signal, and listeners living in nearby communities connected to Kindersley will now be able to receive its programming. Application 1. Golden West Broadcasting Ltd. (Golden West) filed an application to change the authorized contours of the low-power, English-language commercial radio station CKVX-FM Kindersley, Saskatchewan, by increasing the effective radiated power (ERP) from 50 to 100,000 watts, by increasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain (EHAAT) from 27 to 341.2 metres, and by moving the transmitter from Kindersley to Stranraer, Saskatchewan. As a result of these changes, the station’s class would change from low-power unprotected to protected Class C. 2. Golden West stated that CKVX-FM is the only local FM radio service in Kindersley. It submitted that the proposed technical changes are required in order for the station to better serve the community of Kindersley, as well as residents in nearby communities, given that they are historically, geographically and psychologically part of the Kindersley trading area.

  • CCHA Storm Report
    August 21st, 2020 Tennis ball size hail reported in western Canada Storms produced tennis ball size hail in some parts of western Canada along with heavy rain and high wind that damaged crops across the prairie, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association. The storms occurred Aug. 7-15. CCHA member companies are investigating more than 800 claims of crop damage during the time period. Beth Shewkenek, of AG Direct Hail Insurance said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Choiceland and Redvers. In Alberta, she said storms damaged crops in Camrose, Drumheller, and Olds. Darryl Tiefenbach, of Additional Municipal Hail said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Bengough, Ogema, Pangman, Rouleau, Oungre, Regina, Pense, Craik, Earl Grey, Southey, Kelvington, Lintlaw, Okla, Kisbey, Arcola, Redvers and Alida. “The system moved up in a northeasterly path and produced hail in those areas with small stones to as large as tennis balls near Lintlaw,” he said. He said wind and rain are factors in adjusting for crop damage. Harvest is underway in the south of the province for peas, lentils and barley. Brendan Blight, of Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, said storms damaged crops in the Manitoba communities of Virden, Alexander, Lowe Farm and Morris. “The storm came from Saskatchewan and headed east and met another storm coming north from South Dakota,” he said.

(Buffalo Head) to assess the release and direct remedial work required. This report outlines the initial release response and remediation work completed. 1.1 Background and Scope of Work On October 5, 2014, a leak occurred when a section of the 8-16 SWD well head corroded allowing a mixture of oilfield waste water and production fluid to be released. The fluid, which originated from the Gibson 1-16-2-14 W2M (1-16) waste processing facility (WPF), pooled within the disposal building before running out onto the gravelled access road. Fluid was temporarily retained by clay berms surrounding the well site but eventually was able to migrate north away from the well site and east out into an area of agricultural land. Fluid then ran approximately 95 meters east across the agricultural land before reaching the ditch bordering the west edge of Highway 35 (Figure 1). The leak was discovered by Gibson personnel a few hours after it had occurred and a vacuum truck was retained immediately to recover standing fluid from the surface of the spill area.
