How Prairie Post's Coverage Is Divided Between Alberta and Saskatchewan

Prairie Post organizes its local reporting into two province-level news sections — Alberta and Saskatchewan — and then breaks each one down further by subject, including News, Sports, Agriculture, Entertainment, Editorials, and Letters to the Editor. If you want coverage from one province, start in that province's section; if you want a specific topic, use the category links that sit under each provincial heading.

The two-province structure

The site's navigation is built around a simple split:

• Alberta — provincial news plus its own subject categories
• Saskatchewan — provincial news plus its own subject categories

Both provinces carry the same category set, so the same kind of story (a sports result, an agricultural notice, an editorial) exists in parallel for each province rather than being pooled into one national feed.

What sits inside each section

Under each provincial heading you'll find categories such as:

This means a reader looking for, say, agricultural news has two separate destinations — one for Alberta, one for Saskatchewan — rather than a single combined agriculture page.

What the headlines show

The Alberta section's current front-page items illustrate the mix of community-level and provincial stories:

• Canada's first dip tank takes on aquatic invaders — Alberta's government is funding a watercraft dip tank system in Dunmore that uses hot water to treat trailered boats, killing mussels, larvae, and other invasive species on hulls, intakes, engines, and ballast tanks.
• VEP program expands to Oyen, Milk River, Fort Macleod — Alberta Health Services' Virtual Emergency Physician program gives rural emergency departments remote physician support, with nursing staff able to connect by phone or videoconference for patients with non-life-threatening conditions.
• Bow Island secures scoreboard funding for Bert Knibbs — the Town of Bow Island won the 2026 Hometown Turnaround Initiative, securing $12,000 toward a new scoreboard for the Bert Knibbs Ball Diamond.

The Saskatchewan section runs its own distinct stories, such as the Dead Prairies Horror Movie Festival, which brings independent horror films from around the world to Gull Lake — described as southwest Saskatchewan's first horror movie film festival.

How to find what you want

1. Decide on the province first. Alberta and Saskatchewan are separate top-level sections, so this choice narrows your browsing immediately.
2. Pick a category within it. News, Sports, Agriculture, Entertainment, Editorials, or Letters to the Editor.
3. Scan the headlines. Provincial front pages mix government and infrastructure stories (the dip tank, the VEP program) with community and funding news (the Bow Island scoreboard).
4. Use the e-Edition if you want the print layout. The site lists an e-Edition alongside its regular sections.

A practical example: if you're following rural health services, the VEP expansion story sits in the Alberta section — you won't find it by browsing Saskatchewan, and you won't find the Gull Lake film festival by browsing Alberta. The province split is the primary filter; the category is the secondary one.
