Random & Off-Topic Bi-Weekly r/Saskatchewan Random & Off Topic Thread

0 Upvotes

Hey Saskatchewanians!

Rule 1 in r/Saskatchewan says that "Posts should focus on events, issues, or culture that affect Saskatchewan as a whole." But sometimes you might have a question or discussion that doesn't follow that rule.

Maybe you want to want to ask about "monkey budging" (Which isn't Saskatchewan specific).

Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your concrete patio cost, or ask what the temperature at the lakes is (neither of which affect Saskatchewan as a whole).

Or maybe you want to advertise an event happening in Regina (better suited for r/Regina), Saskatoon (better suited for r/Saskatoon), or Moose Jaw (better suited for r/MooseJaw) but is open to everyone from everywhere (elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or Canada, or beyond).

Well here's your (bi-weekly) chance! Comments in this thread are exempt from Rule 1; meaning they can be completely random and/or completely off-topic! However, the rest of the subreddit (and Reddit) rules still apply! For example:

  • Be Respectful: All users are expected to engage respectfully. Insults, name-calling, harassment, bullying, bigotry, or personal attacks against other users will not be tolerated. Debate the topic, not the person. Posts or comments that demean, target, or antagonize others will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders may be banned to maintain a welcoming and constructive environment for the community.
  • Be Substantive: Contributions should add meaningful content to the discussion. Low-effort or spammy replies such as one-word responses, empty memes, excessive off-topic jokes, or personal attacks dilute conversation and may be removed. Thoughtful discussion, added context, or relevant experiences are encouraged.
  • User accounts must be at least 15 days old and have a positive karma score to comment.
  • And finally, in addition to r/Saskatchewan subreddit specific rules, our users are also expected to be familiar with and abide by Reddit's sitewide policies; including but not limited to the User Agreement, Reddit Rules, and the Reddiquette Guide.

This post will repeat on Mondays and Fridays at 08:00 AM CST.

ISC will begin withholding any current and future funding to the organization to offset the debt if the FSIN does not pay in full by Nov. 13, 2026.

Time to cut out the treaty defenders and have it go to helping the Indigenous. Bobby is going to experience some of his own pastawin.

hi everyone. I’m hoping to hike in grasslands national park next week. hoping to stay 2 nights. it’s looking like all the campsites are closed? I’m fine with sleeping in my car, would just need a place to park it. a hotel would be even better but I’m hoping not to go over $100/night in budget.

please tell me any info you think I should have!

I have a bit of anxiety and I’ll be going alone and don’t want to die lol

Is there a place where I can go donate blood ASAP or is it just through appointment?

52 Upvotes

With the tragedy in Wainwright I would like to go donate blood. Sounds like it's pretty bad.

I've never donated (I know, shame on me) but now is better than never.

Is there a place to go sooner than the next appointment to help?

Was down at Grasslands NP at the end of September for some backcountry camping and decided to have a go at night photography. Very happy with how these turned out for my first time and being solo. Wish they were a bit more in focus, but I can only improve from here!

Experience with out-of-province genetic testing?

13 Upvotes

I have been told the wait for the genetic testing I have been referred for is 6 years.

I’ve heard that some seek genetic testing in Alberta without needing to travel and can get this covered by the province. Has anyone successfully done this and can share what the process was?
