Saskatchewan RCMP have charged a youth with first degree murder in connection to a man’s death in Whitewood, Sask. on Thursday.

Officers received a report of an injured man at a residence in the community around 4 p.m., according to a release from the RCMP.

Broadview RCMP found the man inside the home. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The RCMP’s Regina General Investigation Section and Major Crimes officers took over the investigation since the man’s death was considered suspicious.

RCMP said a male youth was arrested by police at the residence and has been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

The investigation continues with help from the RCMP Forensic Identification Section, Broadview RCMP, and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service.

RCMP said both the youth and the man are from the Broadview detachment area but cannot provide more information, since the youth is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Whitewood, Sask. is located about 175 kilometres east of Regina.

Moose Jaw police have charged two men with drug-related offences following a traffic stop earlier this week.

The suspects, aged 38 and 26, were stopped on Nov. 5 on the 400 block of Athabasca Street East as part of an impaired driving investigation. The 38-year-old was arrested on the impaired driving charge.

A search of the vehicle and its occupants uncovered 61.2 grams of fentanyl, 2.4 grams of methamphetamine, about $1,800 in cash, a knife, and other drug paraphernalia.

Both men face one count each of possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine, as well as possession of property obtained by crime.

They made their first court appearances in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Nov. 6.

A man is dead after an “incident” at a facility in Assiniboia, Sask.

On Thursday afternoon, Saskatchewan RCMP provided a statement surrounding the incident. The police service provided few details, citing privacy obligations.

On Nov. 1, Assiniboia RCMP received a report of an assault at a facility in the community. Officers responded and determined an altercation took place between two individuals. One of the individuals, an adult male, was taken to hospital.

On Nov. 3, police were notified that the man had died in hospital. The RCMP continues to investigate the circumstances of the altercation. The Saskatchewan Coroners Service is actively investigating the cause of the man’s death.

No charges have been laid in relation to the incident, which remains under investigation.

The service did confirm that the two individuals involved in the altercation were not employees of the facility.

A bail hearing for the man charged in connection to the highway shooting death of Tanya Myers has been adjourned.

Chris Fahlman, 42, appeared via video on Thursday as family, supporters, and onlookers filled a Regina courtroom.

Fahlman’s bail hearing has been adjourned until Friday afternoon, but it is possible it could be moved to the Weyburn area in the next week.

Myers was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by bullets while travelling on Highway 39 near Weyburn on Sept. 12.

Fahlman was arrested in Regina on Nov. 1 and is charged with manslaughter with a firearm, careless use of a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and occupying a motor vehicle knowing there is a firearm inside.

At this time, the RCMP do not believe there are any additional suspects. However, the investigation into Myers’ death is still considered ongoing.

Despite the surprising resignation Thursday of its President and CEO Rick Bennett, the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) believes it is in good hands with acting President and CEO Trent Fraser.

Bennett submitted his resignation, due to “personal and family reasons”, after just five months at the helm of REAL.

Fraser, who served previously as the interim President and CEO of REAL from April 3 to June 30, will return to the organization on Monday.

Jaime Boldt, chair of the REAL board of directors, expressed confidence in Fraser during an appearance Friday on CTV Your Morning Saskatchewan.

“He’s a local guy and a trusted person in our city, and that stability is important for REAL right now, which is why we’re actually not going out to a search anytime soon. We’re going to let Trent put his feet on the ground there and provide some stability,” said Boldt.

“I can’t really speak to Rick’s situation, his personal and family situation, but what I can say is the board made a very swift decision. I had a quick phone call with Trent, and he needed to sort out a few things, but he jumped on board right away with us. We’re so thrilled to have him starting on Monday.”

In Thursday’s announcement, REAL said that a search for a new President and CEO would begin in 2026 and Boldt confirmed there are steps in place for that process.

“We have a search firm that will start up again, and so we’ll look at that in the new year and make some decisions on what the role looks like going forward, and when is the best time to go to market,” said Boldt.

A Thunderchild First Nation woman is facing a second-degree murder charge after three men were found mortally wounded on a property near Turtleford, Sask. on Wednesday.

Officers from the Turtleford detachment were called to a rural property northwest of Turtleford, located about 229 kilometres west of Prince Albert, just after noon on Nov. 5, according to a Saskatchewan RCMP news release.

Police say someone reported three injured people on the property. When officers arrived, they attempted lifesaving measures on the three wounded men. Paramedics later declared them dead at the scene.

Two have been identified and investigators are working with the coroner to identify the third man. Police say their next of kin have been notified.

A 25-year-old woman was later arrested in connection with the deaths in Turtleford.

Madison Paddy-Jimmy, from Thunderchild First Nation, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tonio Cantell from Island Lake First Nation.

Investigators say each victim sustained gunshot wounds, and all three are the victims of homicide. Multiple firearms were seized from the property.

Police don’t believe there are any additional victims or suspects.

Paddy-Jimmy is scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on Friday.

The RCMP says it does not intend to release further details about the other two victims.

An investment from the provincial government and SGI will provide support for six policing positions in Moose Jaw.

Through the Municipal Police Grants program, $836,000 will support two positions with the Police and Crisis Team (PACT) and four positions with the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS), according to a news release from the province on Friday.

PACT pairs officers with mental health professionals to connect people with the care they need and CTSS works to prevent collisions and fatalities by focusing on proactive road safety enforcement.

“The Moose Jaw Police Service plays an important role in delivering strong and reliable policing in the city, and our government is proud to continue supporting their work,” Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod, K.C. said in the news release.

Two of the four CTSS positions are funded by SGI with a $360,000 investment, the province said.

“Funding for both PACT and CTSS allows us to strengthen two critical areas of public safety - mental health response and traffic enforcement - making a real difference in the lives of our residents,” Moose Jaw Police Service Chief Robert Davis said in the release.

Saskatchewan’s government will be supporting 160 municipal positions in nine municipalities through the municipal grants program in 2025-26. The program has funded policing initiatives and police services across the province since 1998.

Canada expects that talks with the United States on trade will resume “at some point,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told a business audience in Toronto on Friday, but did not give details.

U.S. President Donald Trump last month suspended the talks over an anti-tariff advertisement issued by Ontario’s provincial government. Canada wants a deal to lower import tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos imposed by Trump.
