Chatterbox: Harvest Edition and more

By Kate Winquist

You will notice quite a change to your newspaper this week. We have combined elements from our three weekly community newspapers to bring you this special Harvest Edition! I hope you enjoy reading news that covers our entire service area. This is something that we are considering implementing on a weekly basis.

We have an exciting subscription promotion that we will be running for the next couple of months. Anyone who renews or purchases a new subscription to any one of our three publications will have a chance to win two tickets to this years’ Grey Cup in Regina! Watch for details.

The kids are back to school this week. Be sure to take extra caution as you drive through school zones. Children can be easily distracted and dart out between vehicles or off a sidewalk without paying attention. We wish all students and staff a great year ahead.

There was a major fire at Stewart Valley School on Friday and unfortunately, due to the extensive damage, the building will not be functioning for the upcoming school year. Thankfully, nobody was in the building at the time and the fire was contained to the school. Chinook School Division would like to thank the firefighters who responded quickly and all of the community members and groups who assisted with extinguishing and controlling the fire.
