Localized flooding reported in southern Saskatchewan following string of thunderstorms
Some localized flooding was reported in Eston, Sask. on July 19, 2025. (Courtesy: Verna Robinson) A string of thunderstorms in southern Saskatchewan on Saturday led to some localized flooding in several communities, including Eston, Sask. Social media was similarly flooded by images of standing water in residential areas. According to Brad Vrolijk, lead forecaster with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), rainfall accumulations weren't overly excessive – but the speed at which the storms moved into some areas was. 'It's not necessarily how much rain overall you get, it's how quickly you get it,' he told CTV News. 'We did also get some reports of overland flooding.' The area east of the Cypress Hills through Shaunavon, to Assiniboia to south of Regina were all at the receiving end of the round of thunderstorms and reported the most rainfall. Pictures from Assiniboia and Eston, Sask. show standing water in some areas. Residents could be seen wading through knee-high water – while others brought out canoes and kayaks to travel through the newly created lakes. Eston, Sask. flooding Some localized flooding was reported in Eston, Sask. on July 19, 2025. (Courtesy: Verna Robinson) Thunderstorm warnings are issued when the ECCC forecasts more than 50 millimetres (mm) of precipitation in an hour. Only one location southeast of Swift Current reported receiving rainfall over the threshold - with 51.6 mm. 'Everywhere else was in-between 15 mm and 30 mm for the most part, which is pretty typical amounts for thunderstorms,' Vrolijk explained. 'Every city's' storm systems are different. So, every city has different thresholds on what rate of rainfall will result in this type of overland flooding … Apparently yesterday, those 15 to 30 mm fell quickly enough that there was some temporary overland flooding.' According to Vrolijk, the storms developed as a result of a low-pressure system that was building over Alberta. Through Sunday and into Monday – there will be an ongoing thunderstorm risk in the south. 'We had the convection yesterday, and then we're going to have some more thunderstorms develop again, primarily south of the Trans-Canada Highway corridor today … tomorrow night, we're looking at probably another big system developing in Montana, and then pushing into southeast Saskatchewan,' he explained. 'So, kind of three days in a row with a chance for rain and thunderstorms for the region.' As of 4:30 p.m. Sunday, a severe thunderstorm warning is active for the area surrounding Regina, Shaunavon in the southwest and a swath of the province's southeast corner including Redvers, Carievale and Elmore.

Manitoba Stampede in Morris goes on despite air quality risk
MORRIS — Amid hazy skies and a severe air quality warning blanketing most of the province, the Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition raced ahead with its events, despite the risk wildfire smoke poses to competitors and animals. In front of a nearly sold-out crowd all weekend, cowboys and cowgirls competed in chuckwagon racing, bareback riding and steer wrestling while smoke from wildfires raging in northern Manitoba hung in the air above the grandstand in Morris. 'If it got bad enough, we take the welfare of the stock primarily into concern: the cowboys. competitors, everybody,' Mike Bellisle, president of the Valley Agricultural Society, said on Sunday afternoon. Danae Tonge, an organizer with animal rights group Manitoba Animal Save, said the decision not to cancel the Manitoba Stampede & Exhibition while Manitoba is under a severe air quality warning was irresponsible and puts animal's health at risk. (Submitted) 'It's one of the contingencies we never considered … we've never dealt with it before.' On Friday, Environment Canada issued a special air quality statement warning much of Manitoba would have poor air quality throughout the weekend, owing to wildfire smoke. On Sunday afternoon the air quality health index value in Morris was at 10, which Environment Canada considers a very high risk to health. Brad Vrolijk, a lead forecaster at Environment Canada, said when the air quality index is that high people and animals should do whatever they can do avoid being outdoors. 'It's not pleasant for anybody,' he said. 'There's lots of outdoor events this weekend, so I recognize there's a lot of things people want to do … be inside if you can.' Bellisle said the stampede was playing things by ear in terms of how bad the smoke got, but with a south wind they were hoping it would blow away within a few hours. The stampede has contingency plans for most inclement weather, but this was their first rodeo in dealing with smoke. Bellisle said he did not consider cancelling the event because of the air quality warnings. 'We had our debrief this morning and our prepping meeting, and there was no discussion about it other than it's hazy,' he said. The stampede follows the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association's guidelines for animal husbandry and it has vets on site to assess animal health. 'If they came and said, 'You need to shut down,' we'd shut down immediately,' he said. Other official bodies have guidelines on cancelling events due to air quality. In its guidelines, the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba recommends horse racing be cancelled if the air quality index is 10 or above. That recommendation from the provincial regulator has led to cancellations at Assiniboia Downs in the past. Multiple events had to be cancelled across Manitoba on Sunday over the smoky air. On Sunday morning the Sail West regional championships in Gimli cancelled its competition owing to wildfire smoke. The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra postponed its Summer Series concert which was due to be held outdoors at Le Patio 340 in St. Boniface. Health Canada says there's no known safe level of exposure for some pollutants in wildfire smoke and it can impact health even at very low levels. Kathleen Parks was at the stampede Sunday afternoon as part of her trip to Manitoba from Nova Scotia to visit family. She didn't consider not attending due to wildfire smoke. 'We bought our tickets and we were going to come either way,' she said. 'We didn't even think about (the smoke).' Danae Tonge, an organizer with animal-rights group Manitoba Animal Save, called the decision to move ahead with the weekend's events in Morris irresponsible. 'The animals being forced to exert themselves in this air quality warning is dangerous and inhumane,' she said. Horses, cattle, calves and other rodeo animals being pushed to exert themselves in smoky air increases the strain on their respiratory and cardiovascular systems, according to Tonge. 'We also know that rodeos self-report animal injuries and deaths, so this information isn't easily obtained by the public, which is a concern,' she said. Tonge and about 25 others protested outside the rodeo on Saturday, as they have every year since 2018, calling for an end to the annual event. 'We had one person come up to us during the protest and tell us that some of the animals, dogs and sheep, appeared to be 'weathered.' That was the term they used, and when we asked further, we were told the animals seemed to be having a tough time with the weather,' she said. Bellisle said animal welfare is top of mind for rodeo organizers and if the smoke got worse, they would postpone the competitions. No animals had been pulled from events owing to respiratory issues as of Sunday afternoon, according to Bellisle. Cancelling an event like the stampede is not as easy as postponing a sporting event or concert, Bellisle added. Riders from across Canada and the United States travel for the competition and about one million dollars' worth of livestock participate in the three-day event. 'It would throw a whole lot of behind the scenes,' he said. 'When you have an event planned, you can't move it. The date is the date, and that's it.' Tuesdays A weekly look at politics close to home and around the world. Contingency plans for air quality will be part of the stampede's emergency plan moving forward, Bellisle said. 'It's just not something we've ever had to deal with. I know it'll come up during our next meeting with the steering committee and we want to do what's right,' he said. Smoke across the Red River Valley is expected to dissipate and conditions will improve by Monday night, but the relief will be short-lived, Vrolijk said. A weather system moving in from Saskatchewan is expected to push smoke eastward, but by mid-week a cold front will bring smoke back to the region.

Musgrave Harbour remains under evacuation order, wildfire now 2 km away from town
As fire crews continue work on an out-of-control wildfire in the Town of Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, the fire is now two kilometres away from the town. In a public advisory made at 6:52 p.m., the Department of Justice and Public Safety says that the fire is now moving South and is unlikely to impact the community today. However, the department anticipates that the fire will cross the highway and move toward Banting Memorial park Sunday evening into overnight. The department is now reporting that the fire is about 1,700 hectares in size. The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture has wildfire suppression ground resources, four water bombers, a bird dog aircraft and other crews working to put out the fire. The province's Emergency Operations Centre is actively monitoring the situation and emergency management partners are responding. "Updates on conditions, resources and assistance will be made available continuously throughout this evolving situation," says the advisory. In the meantime, an evacuation order remains for Musgrave Harbour and Banting Memorial Park. In a provincial update provided at noon Sunday, Jamie Chippett, the deputy minister of the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture, said that when the fire was detected at 8 p.m. Saturday evening, it was eight kilometres from the community. "It is at a very high rank, a Rank 5 in technical terms; [that means it's] 'very active,'" said Chippett. Newfoundland and Labrador uses the international ranking scale for fire behaviour, meaning a Rank 5 indicates an extremely vigorous surface fire. That scale only goes to 6. "The community would be seeing lots of smoke," said Chippett. "We do have weather conditions with a wind that is 40 gusting to 50 west-southwest, which unfortunately puts the community directly in the line of the fire." While tomorrow's winds are supposed to be slightly lighter, Chippett said they'll still be in the direction of the community. Forecasts are also saying that there may be some precipitation during the evening. "The first real relief is on Tuesday when we expect cooler temperatures, different wind direction and potentially some significant precipitation," said Chippett. Evacuees registering with Red Cross Musgrave Harbour evacuees were advised to go to a reception centre in Gander at the Steele Memorial Centre on 155 Airport Boulevard, where the Canadian Red Cross will be registering people. Minister of Justice and Public Safety John Haggie asked that everyone affected by the evacuation order register with the Red Cross. And if they are not intending to go to the centre in Gander, evacuees should still call 709-729-0921 to register. "It's important that we have that information so we can help you out even if you don't use the Steel Centre itself," said Haggie. There is also now a road block at the entrance to Aspen Cove and Banting Memorial Park stationed by Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Ground Search and Rescue. The province says that Route 330 may need to be closed on short notice but that it will provide an update if required. The minister also asked that people not fly drones, as they would prevent water bombers from flying in the area. "Drones in the air means no water bombers in the air," said Haggie. "That is our main weapon during the daylight hours of containing forest fires like this. So unauthorized drone use is actually a criminal offence." Residents attempting to evacuate without vehicles were advised to go to the Musgrave Harbour fire department to avail of busing transportation, and to be brought to Gander, said Town Clerk Amber Littlejohn, Sunday morning. Littlejohn is also asked that residents drive safely, and tell friends and family where they are. She also told CBC that the community was "drenched with smoke." The town fire department worked on putting out the fire overnight, said Littlejohn, who added that while they couldn't see the fire from the town, she could see the crews working to fight it. "We have a water bomber going back and forth. He's picking up water from a designated area in the ocean there, off our beach," she said. Musgrave Harbour's town council declared a state of emergency Sunday morning, according to a letter released on social media. The letter states that the council has determined that the wildfire poses a serious safety risk to residents and property within the town. Health supports in place Environment Canada has an air quality warning in place for Musgrave Harbour and the vicinity due to high levels of smoke from the fire. As of 6:52 p.m., the province advised that the air quality in Gander is considered "moderate risk" and Grand Falls-Windsor is "low risk." "Forest fires can increase air pollution levels. Forest fire smoke contains particles and pollutants that can harm your health," writes the province in the advisory. Haggie says the health authority has extra support in place at the James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre in Gander, for both physical and mental health needs. He also advises residents to monitor official channels for updates. Fires continue across the province Minister of Justice and Public Safety John Haggie called the wildfire "a significant and serious issue," and says air quality is a concern for firefighters. As wildfire still rages out of control in Chance Harbour as well, Haggie says "this is a really busy fire season for the province and certainly for the island at the moment." A previous air quality warning on the Bonavista peninsula, due to the fire near Chance Harbour, was lifted this morning. According to the Active Wildfire Dashboard, the Chance Harbour fire remains at an estimated 1,660 hectares and is still considered out of control. Provincial Fire Duty Officer Wesley Morgan says the wind has been helping keep the fire away from the nearby towns of Jamestown and Winter Brook. In an 11 a.m. update, the forestry department said that Chance Harbour residents can also expect to see significant smoke from the southern end of the fire. Three helicopters will continue to work the fire throughout the day, and ground crews will be deployed once it is safe to do so. Ground crews are still working on the wildfires at Nine Island Pond and Northwest Brook. At this time, Haggie says the province's fire suppression resources are adequate to deal with the current situation. But if things get worse, the province will look at asking other provinces for help. Province-wide fire ban in effect A fire ban is still in place across the entire province today. The province is reminding residents that open fires are still not permitted. Haggie also wanted to remind people to be careful with cigarette butts. "It is surprising the number of people who just casually toss them out of the window on the highway and we've seen that cause trouble before," he said.
