High emotions force a break in historic McLeod Series
The Weyburn Comprehensive School, along with the Estevan Comp, have announced they will be taking a break from the historic McLeod Basketball Series this year, due to high emotions and threatening behaviour during and after games.
In a statement released on the school’s Facebook page and social media, they said, “The McLeod Basketball Series is a fourgame total point basketball series between basketball teams from Weyburn Comprehensive School and Estevan Comprehensive School. The event started in 1932 and since then, the games have been played with a few breaks over the years.
“The McLeod Basketball Series has been very competitive throughout the years as basketball has evolved with the growth of our province and its schools. Due to the highly competitive nature of sport
in our country, province and schools, fan expectations and codes of conduct have been put in place to ensure that players, coaches, and fans have a positive and safe competitive experience at all school athletic events.
“In some situations, emotions have run high and harassment and threatening behavior directed to both players and coaches during the game and after the game, both in the school and extending beyond the school grounds has occurred.
“As such, the decision has been made to take a break from the McLeod Series play this year to allow fans, players, and coaches to review and reflect on participant expectations and codes of conduct. We hope that this series break will support all participants in being active and positive spectators at future school series events.”

Weyburn Chamber to present speaker on ‘Women Building Futures’
The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce will present a “Handshakes and Hashbrowns” breakfast on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at 7:30 a.m. at the Weyburn Legion, featuring a speaker from Women Building Futures.
According to Statistics Canada, only about five per cent of skilled trades workers are women. Becky Cassidy, Strategic Partnerships Lead with Women Building Futures, will give the presentation to the Chamber breakfast on how to help that statistic grow.
Through the Women Building Futures program, the mission is to empower women’s economic prosperity by removing barriers and providing industry recognized training in the construction trades, maintenance, transportation industries and more. Over the last 20 years, the organization has been able to train and graduate approximately 2,500 women through various programs such as Journeywoman Start, Professional Class 1 Driver, Driver and Operator, and
industry-funded programs.
The Chamber breakfasts are usually an in-person event, but the chamber decided to do a hybrid event. Registration will be required even if members plan on attending virtually. Register by going online to the Chamber’s website, or calling the office at 306842-4738.
The cost to attend is $16 for chamber members, and $20 for non-members.
The breakfast event is being sponsored by the Weyburn Oilwomen Association.
