CANORA - After over four years without one, a plan has been devised for the Euro Trip to make a return for CCS students. Canora Composite will be teaming up with Kamsack Comprehensive Institute to make the trip possible. The first meeting was held on April 24, 2023 to try and come up with ideas on where to go. During a meeting two days later, students were given three types of options for trips.

Option one was called European Quartet, which would take students to Amsterdam, Brussells, Paris, and London. Option two was called London, Paris, Alps which students go to London, Paris, Switzerland, Leichinstein, and Germany. The third option consisted of stops in both Ireland and Scotland.

Students were encouraged to think about which trip they wanted to go on and on Friday a unanimous decision was made via a vote to pursue London, Paris, Alps. The trip will be held over the Easter break in Spring of 2024, but Organizer Karen Wilgosh says fundraisers will have to be held to reach the approximate price tag of nearly $5,000. The planning of the trip is still in its early stages, but more updates will be provided.

Global Stories of The Week

Saskatchewan RCMP provided an extensive near three-hour update on the preliminary timeline of Canada’s worst mass stabbing in its modern history on April 27. According to CTV News, during the press conference Sask. RCMP Superintendent Joshua Graham and Sask RCMP Commanding Officer, Rhonda Blackmore mapped out the step-by-step chain of events in which Myles Sanderson murdered 11 people and injured 18 on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby village of Weldon.

It was confirmed that Myles and Damien Sanderson were selling cocaine in the days leading up to the attacks. According to CTV National News reporter Jill Machyson, Superintendent Graham stated that on Sept. 3, just hours before the rampage began, Damien Sanderson alluded to a woman acquaintance during a stop at a Kinistino bar that he and Myles “have a mission to do” and said, “people would hear all about it in the next few hours.” It turns out after an argument took place between the two brothers, Damien was brutally stabbed by Myles Sanderson making him the first victim of the massacre. It was also made clear during the update of the exact events that led to the takedown and death of Myles near Rosthern, Sask. on the afternoon of September 7.

Two death inquests are set to be held sometime in 2024. One inquiry will determine the exact causes of death of the 11 stabbing victims. The other inquiry will be held to determine what caused Myles Sanderson to go into lethal medical distress while in the hands of police. It was not made clear what exactly Myles did on September 5 or 6
