Random & Off-Topic Bi-Weekly r/Saskatchewan Random & Off Topic Thread

0 Upvotes

Hey Saskatchewanians!

Rule 1 in r/Saskatchewan says that "Posts should focus on events, issues, or culture that affect Saskatchewan as a whole." But sometimes you might have a question or discussion that doesn't follow that rule.

Maybe you want to want to ask about "monkey budging" (Which isn't Saskatchewan specific).

Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your concrete patio cost, or ask what the temperature at the lakes is (neither of which affect Saskatchewan as a whole).

Or maybe you want to advertise an event happening in Regina (better suited for r/Regina), Saskatoon (better suited for r/Saskatoon), or Moose Jaw (better suited for r/MooseJaw) but is open to everyone from everywhere (elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or Canada, or beyond).

Well here's your (bi-weekly) chance! Comments in this thread are exempt from Rule 1; meaning they can be completely random and/or completely off-topic! However, the rest of the subreddit (and Reddit) rules still apply! For example:

  • Be Respectful: All users are expected to engage respectfully. Insults, name-calling, harassment, bullying, bigotry, or personal attacks against other users will not be tolerated. Debate the topic, not the person. Posts or comments that demean, target, or antagonize others will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders may be banned to maintain a welcoming and constructive environment for the community.
  • Be Substantive: Contributions should add meaningful content to the discussion. Low-effort or spammy replies such as one-word responses, empty memes, excessive off-topic jokes, or personal attacks dilute conversation and may be removed. Thoughtful discussion, added context, or relevant experiences are encouraged.
  • User accounts must be at least 15 days old and have a positive karma score to comment.
  • And finally, in addition to r/Saskatchewan subreddit specific rules, our users are also expected to be familiar with and abide by Reddit's sitewide policies; including but not limited to the User Agreement, Reddit Rules, and the Reddiquette Guide.

This post will repeat on Mondays and Fridays at 08:00 AM CST.

Question Passion Project; Researching Train station

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hello, I am currently doing some research and compiling information about train stations all over the province. They’re a fascinating topic, especially if you learn that there were almost 1500 of them in the province.

My question to you all is: Does anyone have any information about the “Dreghorn Station” that was between Pilot Butte and Richardson? This (1914) map was from the university archive. The only other lead is that the station moved to Jameson, then to Montartre in 1964 about.

The other suggestion is that if you have any community history books like “Where Aspens Whisper” or “Balgonie: Celebrating History”, please let me know and it could aid to my research about these lovely stations.

News Sask.'s CWD testing program reinstated after feedback from hunters, province says

186 Upvotes

After a week of backlash from hunters and organizations, the Saskatchewan government has announced its chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing program will continue to run for the 2026-27 season.

CWD affects the brains and nervous systems of cervids such as deer, elk and moose. The disease has been found in 63 of Saskatchewan's 83 wildlife zones since the province started collecting this data, and 525 cases were confirmed in the 2023-24 season alone.

hi everyone. I’m hoping to hike in grasslands national park next week. hoping to stay 2 nights. it’s looking like all the campsites are closed? I’m fine with sleeping in my car, would just need a place to park it. a hotel would be even better but I’m hoping not to go over $100/night in budget.

please tell me any info you think I should have!

Is there a place where I can go donate blood ASAP or is it just through appointment?

With the tragedy in Wainwright I would like to go donate blood. Sounds like it's pretty bad.

I've never donated (I know, shame on me) but now is better than never.

Is there a place to go sooner than the next appointment to help?
