SportsCage staff
While it was the second meeting between the two teams in the Hardy Cup, it was also the sixth postseason meeting between the Rams and Saskatchewan. Regina now has a 4-2 edge in the playoffs over the Huskies with Canada West semi-final wins over Saskatchewan in 2001 -- 58-31 in Regina, 2007 19-13 in Regina and 31-9 in Regina in 2012. The Huskies' two wins came in the 2002 Hardy Cup and in the 2009 Canada West semi-final 53-23 in Saskatoon.

A bunch of new faces. That's great, IMO.

Sure wish Winnipeg would follow suit. Everyone wants change, but keeps electing the same people.

My only wish was that we have more councilors focused on civic priorities such as infrastructure, police and fire, taxes, zoning, park and rec, etc. and much less on social issues that are the responsibility of other levels of government or worse, on international issues.

I think this is an improvement, but we will see.

Conexus, Synergy, Cornerstone exploring merger
Three credit unions looking to merge, but only in the exploration phase at the moment.

As for what the new Credit Union will require in terms of staffing, Philpot said it is "still very early days as to what that new entity is going to need as far as specialization. So we do recognize a larger credit union enables that specialization, so we're committed to supporting our employees to have opportunities with reskilling and retooling if that's what's necessary."

Letters: Regina airport land development plan should be grounded
The proposed planning framework obliterates thousands of acres of prospective residential development land and results in a massive hole in the heart of the city as it grows to the west and to the north of Harbour Landing.

Such dramatic concepts should not be considered on the basis of a single consultant’s report that had a predetermined outcome.

Does anybody know anything about this first I’ve heard of it

REGINA — The latest numbers from Statistics Canada are showing continued growth for Saskatchewan’s building permits, which had a 13.8 per cent increase for year-over-year growth for October 2024 compared to October 2023.

According to a release from the province, in October 2024, building permits in Saskatchewan totalled $239 million (seasonally adjusted). In Regina, the value increased by 54.7 per cent year-over-year.

The increase was largely driven by an uptick in residential building permits, which were up 53.1 per cent during this same period.
