The Saskatchewan government has announced a 750-thousand-dollar investment in road safety projects, to benefit 66 communities across the province, including several in our listening area.
Yorkton will receive 11-thousand dollars, for the installation of a rapid flash beacon on Dracup Avenue, in the new year, while Springside will get just over 11-thousand, for “slower, safer” streets.
The R.M. of Buchanan will receive nearly 11-hundred dollars, for the installation of speed bumps and signage.
Esterhazy will see just over seven-thousand dollars go toward speed limit awareness, while the Key First Nation will receive almost 77-hundred dollars for traffic safety upgrades.

A new court date has been set for a Brandon man, charged in connection with a violent incident in Russell.
Russell RCMP were called in June of last year to a report of a 56-year-old man being assaulted, threatened, and having some of his belongings stolen.
While officers were on scene, the suspect returned, and resisted arrest, so Mounties had to use a taser to subdue him.
The suspect also caused damage to the Russell RCMP cell block.
40-year-old Michael Man faces numerous charges, and will return to Russell Provincial Court on January 27th.
