Sask. health officials warn of measles risk in Rosthern
Saskatchewan health officials are warning of a potential measles exposure risk in the town of Rosthern on Wednesday. In a news release Friday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) said anyone who went to the Rosthern Gas Plus on Highway 312 between 6:45 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. Wednesday may have been exposed to the highly contagious virus. Measles spreads very easily through the air and can live up to two hours in the air or on surfaces in a space where a person has coughed or sneezed, the SHA says. SHA says to call the HealthLine 811 if you believe you may have been exposed, and you are either unvaccinated, unsure about your vaccination status, or if you develop symptoms. Symptoms of measles exposure may be mistaken for another viral infection at first, with fever, cough, runny nose and fatigue at the outset. Around three to seven days after symptoms begin, a characteristic red, blotchy rash begins to develop on the face and spreads down the body. If you're symptomatic, the SHA says call the HealthLine for information and instructions. Do not show up at a clinic in person.

Warman Wolverines receive approval to join SJHL, make franchise's first draft picks
Over his minor hockey career, 15-year-old Camryn Aebig has scored plenty of goals in four years at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex. Now the Warman U15 Double-A Wildcats star will get the chance to return to the city at the junior level, becoming the first SJHL draft pick in the history of the Warman Wolverines franchise on Tuesday. 'It felt good getting drafted to somewhere I've been playing for in the last four years,' Aebig said. 'It's a special moment because it's the first time it's ever happened. That Warman has a Junior A team, it just feels good.' Aebig was selected first overall by the Wolverines in the 2010-born portion of the 2025 SJHL Draft after posting 44 goals and 78 points in 29 games with the Wildcats this season. Set to join the Tisdale U18 Triple-A Trojans next season, the Rosthern product will be a key piece of the Wolverines' future, according to head coach and general manager Brett Pilkington. Story continues below advertisement 'Any time you get the opportunity to add a player to your program of Camryn Aebig's skill and competitive edge is a great day,' Pilkington said. 'He's played in the Warman minor hockey program and he's close to the community, so it makes a lot of sense for us.' The Wolverines coincidentally have enjoyed a lot of great days this week, after the Warman franchise was formally approved by the SJHL's board of governors to begin operations ahead of the 2025-26 season. This comes after the organization gained approval by city council and completed a successful season ticket drive, fulfilling conditions set out as part of the former Notre Dame Hounds' relocation from Wilcox. 'My specialty is behind the bench and recruiting players,' Pilkington said. 'For it to finally come to fruition here, that in September we'll be dropping the puck and have the support of the community, is unbelievable.'

Co-founded by locals Cole Kachur and Jonathan Abrametz, the Warman franchise will be bringing all of the Notre Dame assets north and will be financed by the pair for a period of up to five years before transitioning to a community ownership model. Story continues below advertisement 'Now that we know that we're playing in the fall, now that everything is finalized and crystalized, it's very exciting,' said Abrametz, who will also be assuming the role of team president. '(Monday) we were walking through the arena and we were looking at where the video board is going to go, we were planning about where our players are going to come out. It's just a really exciting time.' In total, the Wolverines introduced five of their new prospects to fans and sponsors on Tuesday at The Cork & Kettle restaurant and bar in Warman, including the first overall pick in the SJHL's 2009-born draft, Rafael Ramazanov. 'It was an awesome feeling to get drafted by this organization, it's just awesome,' Ramazanov said. Committed to joining the Saskatoon U18 Triple-A Blazers in the fall, Ramazanov is fresh off an 18-goal and 51-point campaign with the Saskatoon U18 Double-A Riverkings. 2:08 SJHL's Notre Dame Hounds set to relocate to Warman in conditional sale 'He's a smaller-statured player,' Pilkington said. 'But his willingness to compete, his willingness to score, his vision on the ice and just his character as a human being is just fantastic.' Story continues below advertisement Focus will now shift to training camp in a few months' time for the Wolverines, as they prepare for their inaugural season in the SJHL. Forward Sawyer Scheidt will be aiming to make the jump to the big club in the fall, as the prospect was acquired from the Weyburn Red Wings by Pilkington after his first season with the Saskatoon U18 Triple-A Contacts. A Warman product himself, with his father Tyler playing three seasons with the SJHL's Melfort Mustangs between 1989 and 1992, Sawyer said it is a perfect fit for both him and the community. 'Growing up here, it's really cool to have a SJHL team,' Scheidt said. 'My dad played in the SJHL, so it's an important league I guess to our family and it's really cool to have a team here in Warman.' Warman's inaugural 2009-born draft class also included Prince Albert forward Brady Keith, Saskatoon blue liner Easton Bley, Saskatoon forward Luc Smith and Martensville product Dade Wotherspoon, who is a top prospect of the WHL's Prince George Cougars. For Pilkington, there was an added emphasis this year on picking players with ties to Warman and the surrounding communities to give fans something to latch onto in the years to come. 'To be able to add players that are close to the community or within reason, it was a huge opportunity for us today and moving forward,' Pilkington said. 'If you got local players, the fans are going to support. It comes down to results, but I think with the mix we have, we'll be there.' Story continues below advertisement As part of new rules for the draft, the Wolverines were allowed to auto-protect two players in their zone, compared with a previous rule that allowed SJHL teams to protect as many players as they liked, given they fit on their 50-player list. The Wolverines' two choices on Tuesday were Warman U15 Double-A Wildcats teammates Logan Olsen and Maclain Ethier.

Sask. Health Authority warns of potential measles exposure in Rosthern
The Saskatchewan Health Authority logo can be seen in this CTV News file photo. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is notifying residents of Rosthern about a possible measles exposure. In a news release on May 6, the SHA said the exposure risk resulted from a confirmed case of measles. People who visited the emergency department at Rosthern Hospital from May 2 to May 4 during specific time periods should monitor themselves closely for up to 21 days, the SHA says. Exposure locations and times: Rosthern Hospital – Emergency Department (2016 2nd Street, Rosthern): Friday, May 2, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Friday, May 2, from 7:25 p.m. to Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 3:40 a.m. Saturday, May 3, at 5:25 p.m. to Sunday, May 4 at 5:20 a.m. According to the SHA, symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, fatigue, irritability, small white spots inside the mouth and throat, and a red blotchy rash. People who were at the emergency department at Rosthern Hospital during those time periods and exhibit any symptoms are asked to contact HealthLine 811 for assessment and care advice. Measles is highly contagious, spreading through the air and potentially living on surfaces for up to two hours. Individuals with measles should stay in strict isolation and are generally contagious for four days before the rash appears until four days after. The SHA says measles is prevented by vaccination. The measles vaccine is safe, effective, and free. With two doses, measles vaccination is almost 100 per cent effective. Individuals potentially exposed may be eligible for preventative treatment up to six days post-exposure. In cases of medical distress, call ahead before visiting the emergency department or call 911 and mention possible measles exposure. As of May 7, there have been 12 confirmed cases of measles in Saskatchewan in 2025, showing a 1100 per cent increase from 2024, when only one case was reported. The town of Rosthern is located about 66 kilometres north of Saskatoon.

Measles exposure alert issued for Rosthern Hospital emergency department
Anyone who visited the emergency department at the Rosthern Hospital last weekend is being asked to monitor themselves for measles after someone with a confirmed case of the virus visited the hospital multiple times over two days. According to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), a person with a confirmed case of measles, considered one of the most contagious diseases in the world, first visited the Rosthern Hospital Emergency Department Friday, May 2, at 9 a.m. CST staying until 3 p.m. CST that afternoon. And it wasn't the only visit, with the person returning later that evening and again on Saturday. The SHA is asking anyone who visited the ER during the following times to monitor themselves for symptoms for 21 days after exposure. Friday, May 2, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, May 2, 2025 from 7:25 p.m. to Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 3:40 a.m. Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 5:25 p.m. to Sunday, May 4 at 5:20 a.m. Measles is a highly infectious virus that is spread through the air. Symptoms generally include fever, runny nose, rash and cough, but can lead to severe complications including respiratory failure and swelling of the brain. The SHA said anyone who was exposed to measles and is exhibiting symptoms can call HealthLine 811 or their health-care provider for assessment. The SHA is also asking people not to visit clinics, but said if they are in medical distress to call emergency departments before visiting and inform medical personnel that they were exposed to measles. In 1998, measles was declared eliminated from Canada due to the success of public immunization programs. Declining vaccination rates have resulted in outbreaks across the country this year. According to SHA statistics, there have been 12 confirmed cases of measles in Saskatchewan in 2025, as of April 30. The SHA said the measles vaccine is almost 100 per cent effective at preventing the disease, but in Saskatchewan only about 75 per cent of children had received both recommended doses of the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine by their second birthday in 2024.
