Youth accounted for 3,351 — or 78.5 per cent — of the 4,270 missing person reports filed in Saskatoon in 2023, according to a Board of Police Commissioners report released last year. The latest addition to Operation Runaway's toolbox is the Missing Youth Saskatchewan app, a project led by Egadz youth, that was launched two years ago. The app has cut down on pointless missing person reports, said Don Meikle, executive director at Egadz. He said a lot of kids — especially the chronic runaways — are simply breaking group home curfews or didn't check in on schedule, but are not in actual danger.

In 2005, Canadian Kyle MacDonald began with a single red paperclip and, through a series of 14 trades over a year, eventually acquired a two-story farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan. His initial trade was the paperclip for a fish-shaped pen, and subsequent trades included items like a hand-sculpted doorknob, a camping stove, and a recording contract.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA — The union representing front-line Mounties says it has not seen an internal RCMP memo calling for short-term staff transfers to Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but says those provinces are under severe workload stress.
Bobby Baker, the National Police Federation’s director for the Prairies, says it’s not unheard of for there to be a call to shift officers between jurisdictions temporarily.
But he says most often it’s confined to the three northern territories, and the situation in Manitoba and Saskatchewan has worsened considerably.
Oh no! You're understaffed over at the Racist Colonial Mounted Pigs? Whatever will we do?

"In Saskatchewan, Canada’s first free grocery store is set to open as a flourishing food bank continues to look for ways to support the community.
Located at 1881 Broad St. in Regina, the Food Hub will be stocked like any old grocery store, and unlike similar projects that operate out of churches or community centers, it will feature a produce section, floor-to-ceiling display fridges, and be open all week.
The Regina Food Bank believes that allowing people who rely on the food bank for food security to fill out a cart just like a normal grocery store gives back agency, and may actually help feed more people by reducing waste.
“None of us fit in a box, but that’s what we give our clients today,” Regina Food Bank vice-president David Froh told CBC News. “When you give choices, you give not just dignity, but actually, we figure we can feed about 25% more people.”
One client explained that getting handed a crate of canned/boxed goods put together in a hurry based on what was in stock rarely provides a selection that accounts for things like dietary restrictions, allergies, proper nutrition, or even just synergistic flavors between the foods.
“Normally I barter with my neighbors and we swap back and forth, so it kind of works out that way. But a lot of people don’t do that,” said food bank client Jon White. “So there’s a lot of stuff that just goes to waste.”
The Regina Food Bank doesn’t just support the unhoused or others in dire need of aid; 18% of its clients work full-time, and 2,000 students receive school snacks and meals through their work. Part of their overall objectives with the Food Hub is to reduce societal stigma against using a food bank.
Food banks do not receive government subsidies, so Froh and his colleagues had to look for private donations to raise the CAD$3.7 million they needed to get the Food Hub off the ground. Some of this came from piggy bank-sized gifts, but they also received a CAD$1 million donation from The Mosaic Company.
Much of the stock is produced, grown, or processed in Saskatchewan—part of Regina Food Bank’s goal to improve the sustainability and nutritional quality of the food their clients rely on."

A disease often thought to only affect 18th century sailors is reemerging in Canada.
Earlier this week, doctors identified 27 cases of scurvy caused by prolonged and severe vitamin C deficiency in northern Saskatchewan. Experts say the confirmed diagnoses highlight a broader issue with poverty and food insecurity in rural and remote communities across the country.
