Gull Lake School Roof Upgrade Now Out for Tender
The Chinook School Division has opened the bidding process for a major infrastructure upgrade at Gull Lake School. The project focuses on the east wing, where the current roof—installed in 2005—has begun to show movement and wear. To ensure a safe, dry, and energy‑efficient environment for students and staff, the division plans to replace it with a modern, mechanically fastened SBS roofing system and upgraded insulation.

🌾 Good Ideas Travel Fast in the Southwest—and We’re Learning From Our Neighbours
In the Southwest, communities are always on the lookout for ways to grow and support one another. Good ideas travel fast here. They move from rink to rink, council table to council table, and along every gravel road that connects our towns. When one community tries something new, others take notice—not out of competition, but out of genuine regional pride and a desire to see everyone succeed. Gull Lake’s new youth drop-in program, The Junction, is the latest example. Built th

Big Moments and Small Gestures
Coffee Row was buzzing that morning—the usual gathering spot where news travels faster than the percolator—and today the talk had turned to the people who keep Gull Lake running: the volunteers. And, of course, the young wrestler who just put our town on the provincial map. Edna had her For Posterity notebook open before the first refill. “I’ll tell you what really makes a town strong,” she said. “It’s the ones who straighten chairs, shovel driveways, and wheel the garbage bi

Kids, Community, and the Long Game
A new youth space and a timely grant had Coffee Row wondering what kind of future Gull Lake is building—and who’s keeping the receipts. News of The Junction’s opening spread before the first pot finished brewing. Edna already had her For Posterity notebook open. “A youth drop‑in center,” she said, tapping her pen. “About time we gave kids somewhere other than the Co‑op aisles.” Hank settled into his chair—the only one he’ll use. “A place to unwind after school. That’s a brick

🏆 February Showdown Verdict: Pig Spleen vs. Supercomputer
Running Score: Pig Spleen 2—Weather Supercomputer 1 A frost‑covered prairie under a restless sky. On one side, a digital thermometer climbing into record territory. On the other, a humble pig spleen sitting beside a parka and a raincoat—because this is Saskatchewan, and we prepare for everything. After a February that felt like three seasons in 28 days, it’s time to settle Round Two of our winter weather showdown. We saw record‑breaking warmth, a polar vortex, and wind gusts

How Two Hitchhikers and a Gull Lake Constable Averted Highway Tragedy
On a cool Friday evening in September 1968—a Friday the 13th, no less—a routine patrol on Highway 1 turned into one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Gull Lake RCMP detachment. Two 18‑year‑olds from Waterloo, Ontario, Dennis Bonn and Brian McLennan, were hitchhiking west toward British Columbia. Near Whitewood, a new Mercury Cougar pulled over. The driver introduced himself only as “Knobby,” said he was heading for Calgary, and offered them a ride. He was fri

What Holds a Small Town Together Isn’t Viral Noise—It's Us
A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another. In that video, the theatre, its volunteers, and several local residents are spoken about in ways that are unfair, inaccurate, and unworthy of the place we call home. Gull Lake isn’t perfect—no community is—but we are not a town where people are reduced to insults
