The popular weekly column “Word on the Street” has been discontinued by the Viking RCMP while the local detachment works its way through what Tofield/Viking detachment commander Sgt. Jim Warren is calling, “a re-organizing phase.”
During this time of change, Sgt. Warren says he will be available for regular updates on area happenings and looks forward to the time when the column can once again be available on a regular basis.
