$30,000 is a lot of money for adults, never mind a kid. Good job Sophia for catching the biggest fish. #sask #nature #fishing

The feds are selling the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corp. and a group of Saskatchewan co-op fishers are planning to buy it. They have big plans for the future but are doing it to keep their history alive. #econsky #reconciliation panow.com/2026/03/10/s...

It's an interesting time to be writing in northern Sask. This story is PA but overlaps with uranium development in the north, the Port of Churchill and more. If I zoom out in my mind, I can see the fed's green economy playing out in front of us. panow.com/2026/03/03/b... #CANpoli #SKpoli

It's impossible to put a whole life into an article. It would be doubly difficult in this case. #skpoli #denarebeach panow.com/2026/02/26/d...

A big moment for Tisdale, whose population shrank 8.4% between 2016 and 2021. The population might be small, but the opportunity here is big and, importantly, they have two major railroads running through town and are at crossroads of Hwy 3 & 35. #skpoli #econsky panow.com/2026/01/30/p...

City of PA opted in on Monday. Police now have the ability to seize certain items not listed in the Criminal Code as a weapon, like bear spray which has been an issue here, such as at the local Exhibition. #poli #Sask panow.com/2026/01/27/c...

I talked to federal NDP leadership hopeful Heather McPherson about what her thoughts are on a few topics of interest. As always, there is always a lot more to be said than people will read in an article #canpoli panow.com/2026/01/08/f...

Premier Scott Moe just shook up his cabinet. Central SK representation includes Darlene Rowden (Batoche) as Min. of Environment and Chris Beaudry (Kelvington/Wadena) takes Energy/Resources portfolio. Travis Keisig, Daryl Harrison and Colleen Young are out as ministers and become committee chairs.

I had a lot of fun writing this good news story. I also learned that wildlife rescue calls were up significantly this year because of avian influenza. FYI, if the bird has the flu, don't touch it. #sk #wildlife panow.com/2025/12/09/g...

It was very interesting to learn about John Brady, Métis leader, writer and WWII veteran. A cenotaph honouring his legacy has been placed at Batoche, a short drive from Prince Albert. #IndigenousVeteransDay #sask panow.com/2025/11/08/s...

Some people radiate kindness. Brenda Hughes is one of them and I have zero doubt this prestigious award is well deserved. #UnitedNation #NelsonMandelaAward #saskpoli panow.com/2025/11/07/f...

I talked to Foran, owners of one of the 1st four projects pushed by the Major Projects Office. That would be the copper/zinc mine near Creighton. They are OK with the budget. #sask #canpoli panow.com/2025/11/05/b...

Is hydrogen mining a solution to meeting energy needs ? It will be interesting to see how this plays out. #sask panow.com/2025/10/29/h...

This took a lot of guts. Everyone that participated has my full respect.

Despite court hearing a convicted teen killer was abused by his father, that is where he will go after being released. The teen killed his mom when he was 13. She was pregnant and overdue, he wanted to live with his dad. They were to sign divorce papers the next day. panow.com/2025/08/07/c...

She said she was excited, but this 19-yar-old dispatcher sounded pretty calm when I talked to her on the phone about helping a stepmom deliver her own grandchild on the side of the road. #SK #emergencycare panow.com/2025/08/05/p...

In the wake of a large property tax increase, the City of Prince Albert wants to expand its tax base by offering deals for building new commercial and multi-family properties. #skpoli #papoli #econsky panow.com/2025/07/23/p...

Sask and Man. have signed an MOU to expand capabilities at the Port of Churchill. Prince Albert Chamber of Commerce said its good news, joining other voices in the area who say the same thing. #skpoli #canpoli #econsky panow.com/2025/07/22/p...

Indigenous leaders don't want to stop business, including Chief Marcel Head in Shoal Lake. They want to be part of it. I talked to Chief Head and Mayor Marlon Zacharias (Nipawin) about why it's important for one highway to be upgraded in northeast Sask. #canpoli #skpoli panow.com/2025/07/17/n...

The City of Prince Albert needs 1,400 housing units in the next 10 years. The local YWCA, which operates several shelters, is taking the next step with a 20-unit transitional project. Federal and provincial money is helping. #canpoli #skpoli #princealbertSK panow.com/2025/07/15/2...

A decision on this will be made public in the next week but Chad Eggerman says that over 100 people were part of the webinar on Monday. He believes there is a class and he has no shortage of representative plaintiffs. #saskwildfires #skpoli panow.com/2025/07/09/o...

These two Rebeccas share more than Indigenous heritage. I asked them their best advice for young girls watching them... #AmazingRaceCanada #Indigenous #Saskatchewan

A Prince Albert landlord is paralyzed after being shot in the throat shortly after evicting a tenant who had never paid rent. His sister would like to see some changes to Sask. tenancy laws. #skpoli #housing #princealbertSK panow.com/2025/07/03/f...

People who lost their homes or cabins in the #2025skwildfires may want to pay attention to a possible class action lawsuit against the province. #skpoli panow.com/2025/07/02/s...

It's always exciting to see youth going places. And this Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation member is definitely going places. #princealbertSK #Indigenous panow.com/2025/06/28/o...

A big event for a small city in Saskatchewan. There will be lots of visitors in town. #Sasktourism #softball #sports panow.com/2025/06/26/f...

They saw the plane first. meadowlakenow.com/2025/06/20/f...

Not a lot of people understand how much people pick mushrooms in SK as a form of income. This is a big loss for La Ronge, in addition to the burning of the Robertson's Trading Post, a community landmark in this year's wildfires. #wildfire2025 #saskatchewan larongenow.com/2025/06/19/m...

In one community, 218 homes were lost to the Wolf Fire. Overall, almost 500 homes, cabins, RVs in one hot spring. NDP asking why 4 airtankers were grounded at the same time. #wildfire #skpoli #princealbertSK panow.com/2025/06/18/a...

Sophie MacDougall was a Métis teacher, mother & Michif language keeper. She is also on a new Canada Post stamp. #princealbertSK #indigenous panow.com/2025/06/17/s...

Sad to see hate expressed like this, but glad to see the community condemn it quickly. #pridemonth #sask northeastnow.com/2025/06/12/d...

It took a long time, a miscounted vote and a consultation with the city lawyer, but a significant step has been made towards creating Prince Albert's first permanent, enhanced-needs shelter. #housing #princalbertSK #skpoli panow.com/2025/06/09/o...

Along with what may be a decision on where a permanent shelter will go, city council has four taxpayers on the agenda who are not happy with their bills this year. It should be an interesting council meeting. #princealbertSK #localpoli panow.com/2025/06/09/c...

Sharing some intense video of two guys driving a fuel truck to northern Sask during a fire storm that burned up 2 businesses in the town. #saskfires youtu.be/VHT8InvEaA4?...

Some pretty intense video of the wildfire near Weyakwin Sask www.facebook.com/share/v/1MXH...

The wildfire situation in the north is changing daily. Flin Flon MB is in serious danger and possibly also Creighton, SK. Prince Albert National Park is pretty much shut down. #2025wildfires #sask panow.com/2025/05/29/m...

From the SPSA "Effective as of 5 p.m. on May 29, the SPSA has revised the provincial fire ban to prohibit the use of All Terrain Vehicles and Utility Terrain Vehicles on all vacant Crown land including provincial parks. #wildfires2025 #skpoli

There is also talk of an ATV ban, which some other jurisdictions do. There will be more information coming. #skpoli #2025wildfires

Premier Moe has declared a 2 week state of emergency over wildfires burning much of the northern part of the province. Over 15 evacuation incidents, hotels in Prince Albert are full and evacuation centre has set up at the Exhibition Centre. #wildfires #skpoli

My colleague, @nigelmaxwell.bsky.social will be there and will have a few questions. Stay tuned.

SPSA evacuation alert for Prince Albert was sent in error and has been canceled. #wildfire #sask

PA Police are noticing a trend of people refusing to stop for officers, endangering others & themselves. On Friday, it was a teen with a sawed off shotgun who fled on foot and had both a police dog and a CEW deployed when he tried to pull the gun. #princealbertSK #crime panow.com/2025/05/13/d...

17 deaths in Birch Narrows (pop. 800) in the last 3 months. 3 were natural. "Our community cannot withstand this continuing cycle of loss and grief without substantive intervention" Chief Johnathan Sylvestre of Birch Narrows FN. #skpoli #canpoli #indigenous meadowlakenow.com/2025/05/12/b...

A drug bust at Sask Pen that involved the interception of a drone, has resulted in a three year sentence. panow.com/2025/05/02/d... #prisonlife #court #crime #corrections

It didn't take long for Saskatchewan to go from a slower wildfire season than 2024 to busier than that. They are also mostly all across the centre of the province #wildfires panow.com/2025/05/09/w...

More response.

Just in "Damien Kurek, Conservative MP-elect for Battle River—Crowfoot released the following statement on his decision to resign his seat to allow Conservative Party of Canada Leader, Pierre Poilievre, to run in a forthcoming by-election." #canpoli

Consistent messaging from Indigenous groups on separation. "We are the First Peoples of these lands and waters. Those that want to leave are free to do so but all the lands, waters, and resources are First Nations." #skpoli #canpoli panow.com/2025/05/02/w...

A terrible decision on the part of this driver. Fortunately, the business owner had much better decision making skills. #princealbertSK panow.com/2025/04/28/p...
