On October 1, the Canadian Rodeo Association celebrated the lighting of the rodeo arena, inviting community members to bring their horses, lawn chairs, “or just yourself” to come witness the ambiance of the new arena lights. Barrels and poles were set and free burgers provided.
CANADIAN – Beginning Thursday, June 27, traffic will switch from westbound US 60 to the eastbound side as crews continue to work on the US 60 Highway Improvement Project in Canadian. The project extends from Birch Street on the south edge of Canadian to the intersection with Main Street in the center of downtown.
A collision involving two semi-tractor trailers 2 miles east of the Oasis Truck Stop on Wednesday morning, August 18, blocked a section of both eastbound lanes of US 60 for most of the morning, as Canadian firefighters worked to extricate the injured Rocking T Trucking driver. Hemphill County EMT paramedics were on scene, stabilizing the as-yet unidentified truck driver and administering emergency aid, while firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free him from the wreckage.
