Hello Dear Listeners,


This week on Civically Speaking, we unpack a mix of local and global headlines that matter:

🇺🇸 ICE Raids & U.S. Political Tensions – South of the border, sweeping ICE raids in Los Angeles and a war of words between Elon Musk and Donald Trump are heating up the pre-election climate. What does this say about democracy, justice, and global influence?

🔥 Wildfires in Saskatchewan – Over 15,000 residents have been displaced due to this year’s intense wildfire season. We share updates on emergency supports, evacuation sites, and how people across the province are stepping up.
📞 For wildfire information, call the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s toll-free line: 1-855-559-5502

🏛️ Saskatoon’s Civic Budget Forecast – A projected 9.9% property tax increase for 2026 is on the table. What’s behind the numbers? How are services like transit, police, and fire shaping this bold proposal? We begin to break it down.


🌕 The Strawberry Moon Rises – June’s full moon, traditionally known as the Strawberry Moon, lights up the sky this week. A moment of beauty, harvest, and reflection amid the chaos.

🐈 A Sphinx Cat Cameo? Yes. You’ll have to tune in.


🗣️ thanks for tuning in,

Civically Speaking,

Lenore and Christina
