Regina’s Urgent Care Centre (UCC) will have its operating hours reduced on Sunday, May 3.

They will be open on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and returning to regular operation hours Monday, May 4 from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The reduced hours are due to ‘physician availability, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).

The SHA advised people experiencing medical emergencies to contact 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency department at Regina General Hospital or Pasqua Hospital.

For non-emergency care, SHA recommended accessing information and care by calling Healthline 811, visiting a walk-in clinic, or connecting with a pharmacy.

Regina police have arrested and charged two people after they allegedly evaded officers during an attempted traffic stop on Thursday.

At about 9 p.m., officers patrolling around 5th Avenue and Garnet Street noticed a speeding vehicle and attempted to follow it from a distance, according to the Regina Police Service (RPS).

The driver ran a red light at 7th Avenue and Lewvan Drive before heading west and did not stop when officers attempted a traffic stop near Regina Avenue.

Officers in another car saw the suspect vehicle pulling into the parking lot of a business on Harvard Way, RPS said. The driver, a 40-year-old man, was taken into custody without further incident, but the passenger, a 40-year-old woman, fled the scene. Following a brief struggle, she was taken into custody.

Following the arrest, officers found methamphetamine, items associated with drug trafficking, and bear spray.

The man is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, flight from a peace officer, and possession of a weapon.

The woman is charged with resisting arrest and identity fraud.

Both appeared in Regina Provincial Court on Friday.

Hospitality workers in Saskatchewan will learn how to spot signs of human trafficking.

Human trafficking happens when a person is controlled or harmed for someone else’s profit.

Possible warning signs in hotels include requests for rooms near exits, refusing housekeeping, and guests who don’t have control over their own identification or money.

The Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking says cases in smaller communities are increasing.

“We have seen a noticeable uptick into smaller cities and rural communities,” said Ashley Franssen-Tingley, a director with the centre.

She says traffickers often move between cities and towns to avoid law enforcement and further isolate their victims.

Jim Bence, CEO of Hospitality Saskatchewan, says the industry can play a role in disrupting that movement.

“As these traffickers move in small groups from, let’s say, Toronto through Saskatoon, to Regina, up to Edmonton, and back down ... we need to disrupt that flow of trafficking,” Bence said.

The government is spending $115,000 on the training. The funding comes through a federal program to end gender-based violence, and is being distributed by the province to Hospitality Saskatchewan.

The initiative follows a push by the Hotel Association of Canada earlier this year to train the entire sector.

“Very often it’s hotel employees who are best positioned to notice when something is not right,” said Alana Ross, Saskatchewan’s minister responsible for the status of women.

While much of the training focus is on on people staying at hotels, some cases can involve hotel staff being exploited.

“We know that there have been some really significant cases of labour trafficking, particularly within hospitality, within housekeeping,” Franssen-Tingley said.

Anyone who spots possible signs of human trafficking is encouraged to call the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-833-900-1010. The line is confidential, multilingual and helps connect victims with support services.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is sharing more details on whooping cough in the province following an exposure risk at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert on April 19.

“There was a PSA put out by the Saskatchewan Health Authority,” said Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill when asked about the province’s communication on the exposure risk. “Obviously whenever there is a situation where there might be an elevated risk to the public in a healthcare facility certainly a public service announcement is put out. Just to make sure that people know that there might be elevated risk.”

The infection, also called pertussis, is spread through droplets in the air in the same way as a common cold, although the SHA says whooping cough is more infectious.

Small children and babies under one year old are most at risk along with pregnant women in the third trimester as the infection can be passed to newborns.

Early symptoms are sneezing, a runny nose, a fever and a cough which gets worse over time and can lead to vomiting.

Severe cases can lead to complications like seizures, impacts on brain function and rib fractures from intense coughing. Whooping cough can sometimes be fatal in babies.

Adults may see more milder symptoms, said Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu.

“Adults and adolescents may not necessarily have those classic symptoms,” he explained. “They may have just something like a protracted cough that goes on for a long time. So especially now that we know that pertussis is prevalent, people should become suspicious in such situations where they for example have that type of protracted cough.”

In 2025 Saskatchewan saw 218 reported cases of whooping cough.

The numbers for 2026 may be slightly higher based on trends from the first quarter with 62 cases recorded from January to March.

“This is a preventable disease, a vaccine-preventable disease,” said Nsungu. “This is an opportunity for people to check their immunization status and if they are not immunized, or if they are not fully immunized, of course, there is an opportunity for them to update their immunization status.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of reported whooping cough cases in the province decreased, but it has risen again in the last several years.

A Regina teenager is facing charges following a robbery at a business on Tuesday.

Officers were called to the 3500 block of Dewdney Avenue just before 10:30 p.m.

On arrival they found a man who told police he and a second man were leaving the business when they were assaulted and had personal items stolen by a group of individuals, according to the Regina Police Service (RPS).

During the incident, one of the men suffered minor injuries.

On Thursday, officers conducted search warrants at two residences on the 1400 Block of Elphinstone Street, with SWAT team members, the patrol unit, and the street gang unit assisting in the operation.

The teen, a 17-year-old boy who cannot be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with two counts of robbery.

He appeared in Regina Provincial Youth Court on Friday morning.

Four people are facing criminal charges after a three-month long investigation into a robbery in central Regina.

On Jan. 26, police were dispatched to a home on the 2300 block of Robinson Street after a caller reported that an injured man had arrived at her home suffering from stab wounds.

Officers and paramedics responded and found the victim, a 50-year-old man, suffering from serious injuries.

An investigation revealed the victim was at his home with a woman who was known to him. Two men broke into the home, stabbed the victim and assaulted him with bear spray before stealing “undisclosed items” and fleeing.

The woman, who was initially inside the home with the victim, also fled the scene along with another woman who was waiting outside the home.

Since late January, Regina police have arrested a total of four people in relation to the incident. They include two women and a man, aged 22, 33 and 37, from Regina along with a man, aged 30, from Churchbridge, Sask.

All four of the accused face one count of robbery.

Additionally, the 22-year-old woman faces a count of breaking and entering, while the man from Churchbridge is also charged with failing to comply with a probation order.

On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order authorizing a proposed project to transport Canadian oil across the border as part of an effort to revive parts of the cancelled Keystone XL pipeline.

The Canadian pipeline company behind the cancelled Keystone XL pipeline, South Bow, is partnering with U.S. company Bridger Pipeline on the proposed project.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the project’s potential revival is good news.

“Expanded pipeline capacity helps strengthen energy security, supports jobs and improves market access for Canadian producers,” Moe said in a post to social media Friday.

“We will continue to support infrastructure that connects our resources to reliable markets and drives economic growth for Saskatchewan people.”

Moe reiterated his longstanding views that expanding Canadian oil production is essential in providing energy security for the world and crucial for the goal of Canada becoming a “global energy superpower.”

Brian Zinchuk, former pipeline builder and current Pipeline Online editor and owner also wants to see the Keystone Pipeline moving forward.

“I first started writing about Keystone XL around 2008. So here we are 18 years later, and it finally might see some progress to see this actually happen in a different form than the original, but still, it is a new export pipeline to the U.S. so there’s great benefits of that,” he said.

“What we find is that when we build new pipelines, we rapidly build the capacity to fill those pipelines, which means more oil wells, more oil sands, it means that our economy grows,” he added.

In a statement to CTV News, South Bow said it is continuing to evaluate the “Prairie Connection project” which would leverage “existing infrastructure and permitted corridors to improve market access for Canadian crude oil.”

“The concept behind the Prairie Connector project is to move crude oil from Hardisty, Alberta to the Canada-U.S. border, where it could connect with downstream pipeline systems,” the statement read.

According to South Bow, the project remains in early stages and is subject to “ongoing commercial, stakeholder and rightsholder discussions, regulatory processes and evaluation.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney says a new oil pipeline out of Alberta is “more likely than not.”

In his first sit-down interview with The Canadian Press since becoming prime minister more than a year ago, Carney said Friday that given the increased global demand for secure new sources of energy due to the war in Iran, and Canada’s need to diversify to Asian markets, a new pipeline is “more probable than possible.”

“It’s all part of a bigger package. We’re making progress on that bigger package,” Carney said, referring to the memorandum of understanding his government signed with Alberta late last year.

“Part of our job is to figure out ways to make that work, to make it work that’s combined with reducing the emissions associated with oil.

“So all of that lines up to it’s more likely than not, which means more probable than possible. But none of that says it’s certain. Still a lot of work to be done.”

LaPresse was the first to report on Carney’s characterization of the likelihood of a new pipeline out of Alberta after its own interview with the prime minister earlier in the week.

And while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said repeatedly her preference is a new pipeline running to the north coast of B.C. — despite the objections of Coastal First Nations and B.C. Premier David Eby — Carney left the door open to alternative routes to get more Alberta oil to Asian markets.

“Well, there are multiple routes where there could be a pipeline,” Carney said.

Citing unnamed federal sources, the Globe and Mail reported last week that Ottawa was leaning toward a southern route for a new pipeline because it would face fewer environmental hurdles and less Indigenous opposition.

Carney also pointed to the recent U.S. approval of the Bridger Pipeline expansion in discussing options for other routes.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a presidential permit authorizing that project earlier this week. It is considered a partial revival of the Keystone XL pipeline project that Trump initially approved in his first term, before it was later scrapped by Joe Biden.

In his interview with The Canadian Press, Carney also said Canada would not use energy or critical minerals as “leverage” in upcoming trade talks with U.S.

While Carney’s comments on the likelihood of a new Alberta pipeline are likely to be met with optimism in Calgary, the project still needs an energy company to step forward to build it.
