Riders rent reduction a 'contractual matter', no legal threat: Reynolds

The $1.33M rent reduction comes from what the club owed during seasons impacted by the pandemic.
Special weather statements were issued for the southern half of Saskatchewan just after noon Thursday.
Environment Canada said while much of the area was enjoying above-normal temperatures, things were to change in the evening.
Meteorologist Terri Lang said a cold front is expected to move across the province from west to east. It was expected to bring strong northwesterly winds with gusts to 60 to 70 kilometres per hour and a sudden drop in temperatures.
“With this cold front, we are getting some heavy snow flurries, plus some really strong winds so we are expecting visibility to drop significantly,” she said.
Lang said the system will move along pretty quickly.
“The time that it is going to be occurring at any given place is actually going to be relatively short,” she said. “It may be an hour or two of reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow plus dropping temperatures. So if you’re on the roads, be ready to encounter those conditions.”
She recommends checking the Highway Hotline before hitting the road.
“It may look fine out your window, but where you’re driving to, the conditions might be quite different,” she said.
According to the Highway Hotline, travel wasn’t recommended on Highway 2 in the La Ronge area Thursday afternoon.
The front is expected to move into Manitoba on Friday, but below-normal temperatures and high wind chills are to remain in Saskatchewan — likely through the rest of December.
