The two shopping malls home to Hudson’s Bay stores in Saskatoon and Regina are owed more than $410,000, according to a court filing made, as the company began seeking creditor protection last week.

A court document revealing a long list of creditors shows the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) owes Midtown Plaza in Saskatoon $110,792 and Cornwall Centre in Regina $306,155.

Other Saskatchewan creditors listed include Crown corporations SaskTel, SaskPower and SaskEnergy along with the City of Saskatoon.

SaskTel is owed $13,293 while SaskPower is listed as a creditor for $63,724 and SaskEnergy for $33,963.

The City of Saskatoon is owed $62,370. The document does not say what the balance is owed to the City of Regina.

Regina police say two drivers recently had their licences suspended and vehicles impounded for street racing.

According to a post on X from RPS Combined Traffic Services, two vehicles slowed for a speed camera on Ring Road before setting up side-by-side and racing down the freeway.

They were clocked at 135 kilometres per hour, Regina police said.

Both drivers received a licence suspension, had their vehicles impounded and received tickets, the post said.

“Street racing is dangerous, period,” Regina police said in the post.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is warning the public after a case of measles was confirmed in Swift Current.

According to the health authority, anyone who attended the Cypress Regional Hospital in Swift Current from Friday, March 7 to Monday, March 10 and used the entrance, elevator and fourth floor of the E.I. Wood Building on March 6 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. should monitor themselves for measles symptoms.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, a runny nose, red eyes, fatigue, irritability, small, white spots (known as Koplit spots) inside the mouth and throat, and a red blotchy rash that develops on the face and spreads down the body about three to seven days after symptoms begin and can last four to seven days.

Regina police say two men have been charged in connection with three robberies at various businesses in January and February.

According to a Regina police news release, a 21-year-old man was arrested and charged with three counts of robbery, two counts of disguise with intent and breach of conditions.

A 41-year-old man was charged with one count of robbery.

Regina police said the first incident occurred during the evening of Jan. 26, when officers were called to a business on the 2900 block of Gordon Road.

Employees of the business told police that a male suspect took several items off a shelf, threatening employees with a knife when they tried to confront him before fleeing the scene.

On Jan. 29, police were called to the report of a robbery on the 1000 block of Pasqua Street North around 7:30 p.m. Once again, a lone male suspect took items off a shelf and threatened employees with a knife when confronted before fleeing the scene.

Finally, on Feb. 24 around 3:20 p.m., police were called to the same business on the 1000 block of Pasqua Street North. The same trend continued where a lone male suspect entered the business, took items off the shelf and when confronted by employees – threatened them – this time with a baton, before fleeing the scene.

The two suspects have already made their first court appearances, Regina police said.

The provincial government says it is prioritizing supporting Saskatchewan’s steel industry through Crown corporation procurement.

According to a news release from the province, thousands of pounds of steel and more than 100 kilometres of pipe were recently purchased from Evraz Steel in Regina

“SaskPower has negotiated a purchase of up to 10,000 tons of steel from Evraz, or the equivalent of three-years worth of steel for the Crown, which is used for the construction of transmission structures and other infrastructure that is critical to maintain Saskatchewan’s power grid,” the province said in the release.

Crown Corporation Investments Minister Jeremy Harrison said the province will continue to support Saskatchewan’s interests with pragmatic and sensible solutions that protect jobs, residents and the economy.

“By prioritizing the purchasing of local steel for SaskPower and SaskEnergy infrastructure projects, we are helping to keep over 400 hardworking Saskatchewan people on the job right here in Regina,” Harrison said in the release.

Saskatchewan RCMP has updated its list of charges connected to a fatal crash involving pedestrians on Key First Nation last year.

A 62-year-old man from Keeseekoose First Nation was initially charged with failure to stop after an accident resulting in death, three counts of operation while impaired with blood alcohol concentration greater than 80 mg causing bodily harm, and one count of operation while impaired with blood alcohol concentration greater than 80 mg causing death.

Sask. RCMP revealed Tuesday that those charges were stayed – replaced by one count of manslaughter, one count of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death, three counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm, one count of operating a motor vehicle impaired causing death, and operating a motor vehicle impaired causing bodily harm.

Both Saskatchewan RCMP and the Regina Police Service (RPS) are warning residents in and around the city that a man considered to be at a “high-risk” of reoffending sexually or violently has been released after serving his sentence.

Jared Charles, 27, is set to reside in Regina. He is described as having a medium build, standing approximately six feet tall, weighing 183 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Police note that he sometimes spells his first name as “Jarrod.”

Charles has an extensive criminal history that includes violent sexual offences and kidnapping involving children, police explained in an alert issued Tuesday morning.

According to the services, Charles completed programs to address risk factors while incarcerated. However, investigators have concluded the programming was not sufficient to adequately address the risk factors that caused Charles to reoffend sexually.

Police note that Charles has indicated that he is unable or unwilling to abide by conditions and that he “is at a high risk to reoffend sexually.”

Charles is currently subject to a court order with the following conditions:

• He must live at an approved residence;
• He shall have no contact or communication with any person under the age of 16 years, unless done so under the supervision of an approved person;
• He shall not go to a public park, public swimming area, where persons under the age of 16 years may be present or can reasonable be expected to be present, or a school ground, playground, or daycare centre;
• He shall not use a computer system for the purpose of communication with a person who is under the age of 16 years;
• He shall not obtain or continue employment, or be a volunteer in a capacity that involves being in a position of trust or authority towards persons under the age of 16 years;
• He shall have no contact with any prior victims;
• He shall not possess or consume alcohol or drugs that have not been prescribed by a medical doctor;
• He shall not enter or be in any place of which the main purpose is to sell alcohol, such as bars or liquor stores; and
• He shall not possess any firearm, ammunition, or any other weapon.

Police noted that it shares this information to raise awareness about the presence of a high-risk offender in the community.

“This information is not to be used to carry out unlawful and harmful acts against this person,” the alert read.

Police encourage anyone who witnesses Charles violate his conditions to contact their local police service or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

Charles was released from prison on the morning of March 18.

The Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit is seeing a record number of cases involving babies, children, and teenagers being sexually exploited online.

The ICE Unit – consisting of RCMP and municipal police services – said investigators are on pace to reach more than 1,300 new files this fiscal year. That’s up by 300 files from last year.

Staff Sgt. Tim Failler, ICE Unit coordinator, said with more people having access to the internet, youth are at a greater risk than ever.

“Kids nowadays are getting phones and electronics a lot younger than they used to,” Failler said in an interview with CTV News.

Failler said common trends in crime involve luring, possession of child pornography, and sextortion – where nude images are used for blackmail. He said conversations with youth around online safety can help prevent these types of incidents.
