Turtleford, Biggar Co-Op cardlocks fall victim to vicious winds

The winds were howling in Saskatchewan to kick off the week.

An Alberta clipper brought gusts upwards of 100 km/h in some areas of the province Monday, and it did some damage to two local Co-ops in the province’s northwest.

Both the Turtleford Co-op and the Duperow Co-op, located in Biggar, had their cardlock stations damaged by the winds.

A representative from the Turtleford Co-Op said operations weren’t impacted by the sign blowing down, and they were able to get everything back up and running shortly thereafter.

In its Facebook post, the Duperow Co-Op said it was closed temporarily due to the damage.
