Lumsden RCMP have arrested a 47-year-old male following the theft of a truck, trailer, and skid-steer in the Grand Coulee and Pense district.

White Butte RCMP received a report on Nov. 13 at 3:30 p.m. regarding a theft of a truck and trailer carrying a skid-steer from a rural property near Grand Coulee and Pense. Officers, assisted by Regina Police Service (RPS) aerial unit, spotted the stolen vehicle northbound on Highway 641 near Lumsden. A traffic stop was attempted, but the truck fled toward Lumsden.

Officers deployed a tire deflation device near Lumsden, which successfully punctured the tires on the stolen truck and trailer. The vehicle continued into the Town of Lumsden before stopping. The driver fled on foot but was arrested by Lumsden RCMP.

The man is facing multiple charges, including possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, operation while prohibited, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, resisting a peace officer, and flight from police

He made an appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Nov. 14.

White Butte and Lumsden RCMP continue to investigate.

An estimated 200,000 Saskatchewan residents are without a regular family doctor, but they’ll soon have another option for primary care.

The provincial government has launched a pilot program that will allow 19 nurse practitioners to provide services covered by Medicare in several communities across the province.

“We’re really excited to see how nurse practitioners are playing a larger and larger role in primary care in Saskatchewan, making sure patients not only have access but are attached to a primary care provider,” said Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill.

The nurse practitioners will be based in multiple locations, including Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Wilkie, Carnduff and Estevan.

“It just allows for a better expansion of primary care access in all of those communities,” said Michelle O’Keefe, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Nurse Practitioners.

The first nurse practitioner clinic has already opened in Regina. Patients can expect services similar to those offered by a family doctor.

“We’ll be providing comprehensive assessments, diagnoses, and ordering labs or imaging. Anything they can get from a primary care physician, we can also provide,” said nurse practitioner Hanna Latina.

The NDP Opposition supports the move.

“Nurse practitioners have a very important role in team-based care. We need to be looking at utilizing them more,” said NDP MLA Meara Conway.

The government says the pilot is expected to expand as demand grows.

Southey RCMP have arrested a 45-year-old female following a fatal one-vehicle collision on Piapot First Nation.

Southey RCMP received a report on Nov. 14 at 9:15 p.m. about a single-vehicle collision east of Highway 6.

Lumsden and Southey RCMP responded, along with local fire and EMS. A passenger in the vehicle, a 59-year-old male from Regina, was declared deceased by EMS at the scene. His family has been notified.

EMS transported two additional male passengers to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the vehicle, who was arrested at the scene, was taken to hospital for further assessment. She was released pending her court appearance.

Four charges were laid against the driver: impaired operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm; operation of a conveyance with blood alcohol concentration greater than 80mg causing bodily harm; impaired operation of a conveyance causing death; and, operation of a conveyance with blood alcohol concentration greater than 80mg causing death.

She is scheduled to appear in Regina Provincial Court on Jan. 5, 2026.

Southey RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.

Saskatchewan RCMP are investigating a bovine-related homicide near the community of Ponteix.

According to police, on Nov. 4 at around 7:45 p.m., Ponteix RCMP received a report that a cow had been shot at a rural property near the community, located 275 kilometres southwest of Regina.

The cow later died.

Additionally, Ponteix RCMP are investigating the shooting death of a cow at a different rural property near the community on July 7.

The investigation, which includes determining whether the cows were targeted or mistakenly shot, continues.

Saskatchewan RCMP says there is no indication that the two incidents are related.

A 66-year-old inmate of the Regina Correctional Centre has died following an extended hospital stay, according to the province.

In a news release published Tuesday, Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety revealed that the inmate was declared dead on Sat., Nov. 15 at 9:14 p.m. at Pasqua Hospital in Regina.

The inmate was initially taken to hospital by EMS from the correctional centre on Oct. 27 due to “pre-existing conditions.” He stayed in the hospital’s care until his death.

The Saskatchewan Coroners Service have been notified and are investigating. The ministry will also conduct an internal investigation.

The inmate’s family has been notified. No foul play is suspected at this time.

It was a day of celebration as the Saskatchewan Roughriders paraded through Regina as the 2025 Grey Cup champions.

The Green Mile definitely lived up to its name as hundreds of Roughrider faithful lined the 1.6-kilometre stretch of Albert Street in the heart of the city.

A convoy of vehicles from the Canadian Armed Forces ferried the victors all the way to the steps of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building.

Head coach Corey Mace was among the first to speak.

“When we first came to Saskatchewan, we knew it was gonna be crazy but this is something else,” he said, addressing a sea of green and white.

Mace began thanking everyone in the Roughriders’ organization, from the ticket office to the equipment staff.

“There’s so much that goes into this. So many thank yous to go around, everybody in the Riders organization. From the fourth floor, to the equipment guys, Gordie, Ty. To the ticket office, everybody. Much love, the trainers. Much love, the coaches. Let me tell you guys something right now, you have the hardest working coaching staff in the entire league,” he said.

“And lastly, and most importantly, how about your [expletive] Saskatchewan Roughriders!” he proclaimed.

Looking ahead, Mace promised that the Roughriders’ recent victory is only the beginning of good things to come.

“They keep talking about how there was only four championships in Riders’ history. Hey, we got five right now and we ain’t willing to stop baby. Let’s keep it rolling.”

Sunday’s 112th Grey Cup saw the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Montreal Alouettes 25-17.

The victory marks the franchise’s fifth ever Grey Cup win after victories in 1966, 1989, 2007 and 2013.

Shirts were optional for A.J. Ouellette and the Riders on Tuesday as they paraded down Albert Street to cheers from Rider Nation.

Fans lined the west side of Albert Street from 13th to 20th Avenue for a chance to see the players and the Grey Cup. One fan even dressed up as Ouellette, complete with beard and Thor’s hammer.

“I’m a big fan. We’re big Rider fans. I’m a big A.J. fan. We’re so proud of the team winning the Grey Cup and bringing the fifth home for us,” he said. “We’re really proud, we’re really happy. Go Riders!”

Younger fans also soaked in the moment, telling CTV News it was an “awesome time.”

“Just coming out here and all the energy around it’s just a great thing. And seeing the players, it’s just amazing energy to be with. And we got the ball that was in the Grey Cup game and we’re here cheering on our team.”

Others reflected on the magnitude of the team’s fifth championship in the Grey Cup’s 112-year history.

“They’re rare, so you have to treat it as if this is the greatest moment of your life and it is for us at Rider Nation.”

Riders head coach Corey Mace fired up the crowd along the route, chanting, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”

Fans in the sea of green said the Grey Cup feels right at home in Saskatchewan.

“There’s something nostalgic and comforting and homey about just bringing it home. I just feel like the Cup always belongs here.”

For one fan, it was the perfect way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

“The highlight of my day and last night actually we saw the Grey Cup at the casino. We were lucky enough to see a few of the players there. I think winning the Cup in Winnipeg was almost as sweet as winning it at home.”

Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs missed Monday’s critical budget vote because she is recovering from major surgery, a statement posted to social media said Tuesday.

The budget motion passed by just two votes, allowing the minority Liberals to stay in power.

Stubbs and Matt Jeneroux were the two Conservatives who did not vote on the budget. After rumours started circulating suggesting that Jeneroux was planning to join the Liberals, he said earlier this month he will be resigning his seat.

A number of angry messages were directed at Stubbs on social media for missing the vote — including some calling her a traitor.

The statement said Stubbs is on medical leave after undergoing jaw and chin surgery that initially was supposed to happen in the spring. It said the surgery, which was rescheduled because of the election, is the result of a “significant medical condition” she has had since birth.

The statement said Stubbs is on strict bedrest and has been ordered not to speak during her recovery. It said that she “strongly opposes Carney’s credit card budget.”

Members of Parliament can cast a vote in the House of Commons virtually, using an app that requires facial recognition.

Many of the online attacks came in response to posts on Stubbs’s X account over the last several days — including one three-minute video of her talking about why Conservatives are opposed to a Liberal law that was passed last year.

The statement said any videos shared recently were pre-recorded before she had the surgery. It does not say when she expects to be back in the House of Commons.

Stubbs also did not take part in two confidence votes on amendments to the budget that happened on Nov. 6 and Nov. 7.

Jeneroux abstained from all three confidence votes and has not been in the House of Commons this week. He has not said when he plans to resign as an MP.

Two NDP MPs also did not vote on Monday, while Green Party Leader Elizabeth May voted with the government. That helped the Liberals survive the confidence vote by a margin of 170 to 168.
