Second ammonia leak keeps Weyburn rinks closed until after Christmas

City was on schedule to reopen on Dec. 13, and now has to remove the ice again.
We’ve heard of moose on the loose before, but bison?
That’s exactly what the Rural Municipality of Corman Park is dealing with after a Dalmeny bison farmer had his fence cut.
The Osler Fire Department warned the public of the escapees, saying “numerous bison” are now on the run in the area.
In a Facebook post Sunday just before 8 p.m., the fire department warned the public of the dangers bison create in the wild.
“Do NOT approach these animals!! They will hurt you!!!” the post writes.
A herd of 53 escaped, according to a tweet by Dalmeny Fire and Rescue.
CAUTION – The Pastoor Family of Dalmeny had their fence cut last night and now their herd of 53 buffalo are at large. If you see these animals DO NOT APPROACH. Call Dalmeny Police or Corman Park Police.

Since then, majority of the herd has been contained and rounded up.
Chief of the Dalmeny police, Scott Rowe, told us that bison are very difficult to herd.
“They don’t like people very much,” said Rowe. “We know where the majority of them are, we are relying on the public to reach out and send us information if a bison is spotted.”
Rowe added that people should contact their local police department if they see any bison roaming around, so that the information can be relayed to the farmer.
