Residents of Regina and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, have been experiencing a musty smell and taste in their water due to an annual algae bloom in Buffalo Pound Lake, the source of their drinking water. The City of Regina assures residents that the water is safe to drink, despite the odour, and is implementing measures to address the issue. A $325.6-million upgrade to the treatment plant, including new carbon filters, will provide year-round smell and taste control.
Human remains were discovered in a rural area northeast of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, on April 28, prompting an ongoing investigation by the Moose Jaw RCMP. Investigators, including a forensic anthropologist and pathologist, have examined the remains and believe they have been at the location for at least a decade. The identity of the individual remains unknown. The investigation will consider historical missing persons cases in the area. The RCMP emphasizes that the death is not currently believed to be suspicious in nature. Police presence may be increased in the area as searches continue. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
