A powerful winter storm that swept across Saskatchewan on Wednesday, December 18, 2025, has significantly disrupted daily life, including the delivery of the province's leading newspaper. The Regina Leader-Post has announced it is unable to deliver its Thursday print edition to subscribers in Regina due to the severe weather conditions.
Print Edition Delayed, Digital Access Available
The newspaper confirmed that the physical copies of the Thursday, December 18 edition will not reach doorsteps as usual. Subscribers are advised that the Thursday print edition will now be delivered alongside Friday's paper. This decision prioritizes the safety of delivery personnel and the public during the hazardous storm.
For readers eager to access Thursday's news, the publication has emphasized that a full electronic replica of the print edition is readily available. Subscribers can click on the 'ePaper' link near the top of the Leader-Post website to read the exact same content that would have been in their hands.
Staying Informed During Severe Weather
This service disruption highlights the challenges major weather events pose to traditional distribution networks. The Leader-Post is encouraging readers to utilize its digital platforms to stay updated. The newspaper offers an Afternoon Headlines newsletter, delivered daily to email inboxes, to ensure vital news is received promptly.
With the ongoing storm, the publisher recommends that residents bookmark leaderpost.com and sign up for newsletters to receive the latest updates directly, especially as some social media platforms may block news links. This ensures continuous access to critical local journalism during the severe weather event affecting the province.
Looking Ahead
Saskatchewanians are familiar with winter's disruptive force, and this storm serves as another reminder of its impact on daily routines. The Regina Leader-Post's swift pivot to its digital ePaper ensures that its award-winning journalism and local reporting remain accessible to the community, even when the physical paper cannot be delivered.
