Random & Off-Topic Bi-Weekly r/Saskatchewan Random & Off Topic Thread

1 Upvotes

Hey Saskatchewanians!

Rule 1 in r/Saskatchewan says that "Posts should focus on events, issues, or culture that affect Saskatchewan as a whole." But sometimes you might have a question or discussion that doesn't follow that rule.

Maybe you want to want to ask about "monkey budging" (Which isn't Saskatchewan specific).

Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your concrete patio cost, or ask what the temperature at the lakes is (neither of which affect Saskatchewan as a whole).

Or maybe you want to advertise an event happening in Regina (better suited for r/Regina), Saskatoon (better suited for r/Saskatoon), or Moose Jaw (better suited for r/MooseJaw) but is open to everyone from everywhere (elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or Canada, or beyond).

Well here's your (bi-weekly) chance! Comments in this thread are exempt from Rule 1; meaning they can be completely random and/or completely off-topic! However, the rest of the subreddit (and Reddit) rules still apply! For example:

  • Be Respectful: All users are expected to engage respectfully. Insults, name-calling, harassment, bullying, bigotry, or personal attacks against other users will not be tolerated. Debate the topic, not the person. Posts or comments that demean, target, or antagonize others will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders may be banned to maintain a welcoming and constructive environment for the community.
  • Be Substantive: Contributions should add meaningful content to the discussion. Low-effort or spammy replies such as one-word responses, empty memes, excessive off-topic jokes, or personal attacks dilute conversation and may be removed. Thoughtful discussion, added context, or relevant experiences are encouraged.
  • User accounts must be at least 15 days old and have a positive karma score to comment.
  • And finally, in addition to r/Saskatchewan subreddit specific rules, our users are also expected to be familiar with and abide by Reddit's sitewide policies; including but not limited to the User Agreement, Reddit Rules, and the Reddiquette Guide.

This post will repeat on Mondays and Fridays at 08:00 AM CST.

Question Those with Sasktel fiber...

8 Upvotes

It's being run in my area and I'm in need of a new router. Is there a specific requirement so I can connect the router directly instead of using their equipment?

Right now I'm looking at the TP-Link Archer AX75 or GL.iNet GL-MT6000

Discussion How much are you paying for SaskTel internet? Rural vs. city prices

1 Upvotes

I'm curious how much everyone is paying for SaskTel internet across Saskatchewan.

I'm in a rural area and paying $75/month for 100 Mbps for fiber optics. I've noticed that people in larger cities like Saskatoon seem to get better prices, so I'm wondering if rural customers are paying more for the same speed.

Question Regional Food Dishes Invented In Saskatchewan Restaurants?

29 Upvotes

I'm looking to find every restaurant in Saskatchewan that invented a regional food dish. So far I only know of Regina Style Pizza- invented at Houston Pizza. I haven't yet been able to find the specific inventor restaurant of the Frajolaki Sandwich. Does anyone know who specifically invented the Frajolaki, or any other specific food dish inventor restaurants in Saskatchewan?

Help with whole house reverse osmosis unit for. Medical use.

12 Upvotes

Hey Reddit gang need some help with a whole home reverse osmosis unit. I dialysis at home and the well water quality is marginal. it's recommended if I continue at home to get a home RO to supply water to my dialysis setup in my bedroom. which already has its own water softener and RO unit. I dialysis 6‐7 times a week for 4‐5 hours and it consumes around 700‐800 liters per treatment plus the other water usage (cooking, showering etc). i live too far from city (1.5 hours) to commute for treatment and even if I could the max they would do at the hospital is 4 days a week which IMHO not enough. fuel is costing me arm and a leg just to survive and I'll take the hit for my own system.

is there someone independent or a good rep for a company they can recommend? I already have a drinking water RO, a sediment filter, water softner and regenerating iron filtration system. if anyone done a house setup let me know who you used, did you pay for outright? contract? what do you pay? Maintenance cost?

I enquired at culligans last week and they came and grab a water sample but I yet to hear back from them. i probably will be proactive and get a independent water sample done or grab the one the dialysis tech just did.

any help/comments is appreciated. I live between Nokomis and Strasburg on the east side of long lake.

News CRTC clears $12.9M fibre project connecting 25 rural Saskatchewan communities

Post image
111 Upvotes

The CRTC has given final approval to the work plan for a major rural fibre project in western Saskatchewan.

Access Communications will receive up to $12.89 million from the CRTC Broadband Fund to build approximately:

• 350 km of fibre infrastructure
• 36 network points of presence
• High-capacity transport serving 25 communities
• Infrastructure benefiting roughly 3,555 households and 11 anchor institutions

The communities include Thunderchild First Nation, Turtle Lake, Livelong, Metinota, Vawn and several smaller lake and rural communities in western Saskatchewan.

This funding was originally approved in November 2025. Today’s decision is different: the CRTC has now approved the detailed statement of work, allowing the project to move into its funded implementation phase.

The CRTC also granted Access Communications some unusual flexibility because it is a community-owned non-profit co-operative.

Instead of waiting for quarterly reimbursements, Access can submit claims as often as monthly and can claim eligible costs once they are incurred rather than waiting until they are fully paid.

The approved completion date is December 2028.

The infrastructure must also offer wholesale and retail open access at funded network points, meaning other providers can potentially use the new transport network too.

I typically head out to the Qu’Appelle valley to take in the brief beauty of the fall, but is there a hidden gem somewhere that highlights Autumn’s colours better?

This Outlook native thanks you for the support 🙏

I hope you noticed the Saskatchewan shoutout from Ken Jennings on Tuesday's Jeopardy episode. Even though I'm now based in Ottawa, it's actually pretty crazy how many messages I've received from everyone back home and I sincerely wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire province for all the support ❤️

While it may have ended in a bit of soul-crushing defeat before the critically important 5th win; I have to say job well done to the challengers, who came on really strong in double jeopardy (which was becoming my shtick 😜)...and consider myself lucky that I got to play 4 games more than most people who get on the show.

P.S. While the 5th win would have been nice to secure a guaranteed spot in the Tournament of Champions, 4 wins is historically enough to get you there, and worst case there is a wildcard tournament; so it was quite reassuring to hear Ken mention at the end of the episode say "Probably not the last time we'll see Rian on the Alex Trebek Stage"....the advantage of appearing so early on in the season is that I'll have the most amount of time to prepare...so I'll be ready to do the province proud when the time comes 💪
