REGINA Saskatchewan s Ministry of Health is investigating after a video appeared to show patrons at a Regina restaurant failing to adhere to the province’s COVID-19 guidelines. The video shows several people at The Tap without masks on, dancing and shouting, all while failing to remain physically distant. In an Facebook apology post from The Tap, it said the patrons were “asked to leave, which they did in a timely manner. Unfortunately they decided to dance their way out the door.” In an emailed statement to CTV News, the Ministry of Health said local public health officials have received the report of the incident at The Tap and are currently investigating.

SASKATOON The Western Hockey League has committed to playing a 24 game regular season, with the start date to be determined. Saskatoon Blades’ president and general manager Colin Priestner said the decision to play came out of a conference call that lasted over four hours on Friday but leaves the league and teams facing several hurdles before they can hit the ice. “From protocols, safety, insurance, logistics,” he said. “How big rosters can be, or how do we bring in players if there s injuries. How do we get a season in, what do we do if things get shut down in the provinces.”
