Making its way around Social Media is an invitation to a children’s freedom rally fun day in the park. The invitation indicates that the day is all about celebrating freedom but also children having fun and most people will not be wearing masks. It invites parents, grandparents and all family members. The event is at Vimy Memorial in downtown Saskatoon.
A request for an interview to discuss how Saskatoon Police were going to deal with the rally was declined, with the explanation that the Saskatoon Police Service does not reveal its operational plans. Saskatoon Police do say that along with Saskatchewan Public Health, they are aware of the event and will treat it as they have similar rallies in the past. As well, they have plans in place to ensure a safe environment. The police service encourages anyone attending to adhere to Public Health Orders and they discourage any large public gatherings at this time.
SASKATOON The Milden Hotel & Bar southwest of Saskatoon has been shut down by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA). During the week of April 12, SHA inspectors issued a closure order to the business for failing to comply with COVID-19 guidelines, the province said in a news release. “It wasn’t just one offence,” said Health Minister Paul Merriman. “It was a multitude of offences over a longer period of time where public health felt that it was important to maintain the safety and integrity of the community that they closed it temporarily.” The business declined comment when reached by CTV News on Monday.
