Inclusion Weyburn had a special day with Santa Claus on Saturday morning, as they arranged for sensory-free private visits with the jolly old man of Christmas.

St. Michael School in Weyburn hosted their junior high band concert, the first one conducted by new music teacher Jeff Lunde, along with Christmas activities for students and families, on Wednesday evening.

Weyburn lost another piece of history, as a demolition crew started to take down the historic Souris School building over the weekend.

The City of Weyburn held their annual "Skate with Santa" event on Sunday afternoon at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena, with lots of families and individuals coming out for the free skate, and for a chance to get a photo with Santa Claus. It was special also because this was the last one to be organized by City administrative coordinator Wendy Neiszner, as she is taking retirement at the end of December, ending nearly 25 years of working for the City's Leisure Services department.

Music, goodies and fun crafts were all part of the evening at the Weyburn Public Library on Thursday, as they hosted their Cookies, Crafts and Carols event, with the RISE Choir from the Weyburn Comp, and a special drop-in by Santa Claus.
