Gull Lake’s Doug Logan: China Trade Deal is a "Lifeline"
There’s a fresh sense of cautious optimism across the prairies this week, following a major diplomatic breakthrough in Beijing. After a high-stakes trade mission led by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Canada has secured a deal to dismantle the punishing 100% tariffs that have crippled the nation’s canola industry. For producers like Doug Logan, who farms near Gull Lake, this announcement is more than a headline—it’s a lifeline for the 2026 growi

☕ Coffee Row Chronicle — Confidence, Curling, and the Grey Cup
Steam rises from chipped mugs as the usual crew gathers at Coffee Row. Outside, a November chill clings to the windows, but inside, the conversation crackles with warmth and energy. Chairs scrape against the worn floor as mugs are set down, and the hum of conversation builds. This week, the talk is thick with news: the latest Gull Lake 2035 column, curling rink repairs, and the Lyceum’s upcoming Grey Cup bash. Edna (dry wit, leaning back with a raised brow): “‘That’ll never w

Gull Lake 2035 Continues—Small Town, Big Possibilities: Breaking the Myth of Doubt
Myth: “That will never work here.” The assumption is that when new ideas or opportunities arise, they simply won’t work here—especially businesses, because of our proximity to the city, or in other cases because the idea of change can be hard to accept. Reality: Proof in Our Own Backyard Gull Lake has lived both sides of this myth. • Campbell’s Accommodations When my wife and I converted long‑term rental units into short‑term accommodations, some said visitors would prefer

🥌 Curling Season Prep Underway—Repairs, Gratitude, and a Look Ahead
The off-season has been anything but quiet at the Gull Lake and District Curling Rink. As shared in a recent update from the Curling Board, the team has been hard at work tackling a full slate of challenges—from water damage and rodent issues to plant complications and hood upgrades—all with one goal in mind: getting the rink ready to welcome curlers back for another season. “We’re currently hard at work making major repairs to our plant so that our rink will be ready to roll

☕ Coffee Row Chronicle—"Sidewalks, Stories, and Support"
The bell above the Gull Lake Diner’s door jingled, letting in a crisp breath of prairie air and the faint scent of cinnamon rolls from the kitchen. The regulars had already claimed their corner booth, mugs steaming on the worn Formica, the table littered with raffle tickets and auction flyers. Earl wrestled with his spectacles, Binder watched the group with a steady calm, and outside, early sunlight glinted off frost‑edged sidewalks. The council meeting notes lay folded besid

Editorial: Why Small Towns Need Their Own Voice
(Part of our ongoing reflections on Gull Lake’s future) In many small towns like Gull Lake, the absence of a newspaper or dedicated news outlet leaves a gap in how stories are told and how communities see themselves. This editorial explores why that matters—and how we’ve worked to fill that gap. “Has Gull Lake heard of the internet?” That was the blunt question a marketer asked during my first term as mayor. At the time, many of our businesses weren’t listed on Google, and th

Hazlet Rallies to Keep Library Hours
The Village of Hazlet is fighting to protect one of its most valued community spaces: the local library. The Chinook Regional Library has announced a reduction of 3.5 hours per week at the Hazlet branch, cutting service from 9.5 hours down to just 6. For a village of fewer than 100 residents, that’s a significant loss—"barely enough time to check books in and out," as the Village noted in a recent update. There is, however, an option to keep the hours intact. Hazlet can “buy
