According to police, a 40-year-old man was driving west on Dewdney Avenue just before 7 p.m. when a 46-year-old woman wearing all black stepped into the roadway. She was crossing Dewdney at the Rae Street intersection but not at the crosswalk.
 
The woman was hit by the vehicle.

The driver called 911 and when officers arrived, they found the woman lying in the street. She was taken to hospital with injuries described as "serious, but not life-threatening."

What Marlene Bird really wants is a permanent home.

The badly scarred woman who was violently attacked in downtown Prince Albert at the beginning of June spoke to YWCA CEO Donna Brooks on Monday.

The Prince Albert YWCA is helping to make this happen.

The Regina Police Service warning the public after someone almost fell for a scam targeting immigrants.

The identity theft/fraud scam starts when the victim receives a phone call claiming to be someone from Citizen and Immigration Canada. The caller says it's a verification call from the immigration department for a permanent residence card and ask for your landing paper number, UCI number, passport number and other information.
