OtherSentencing delayed for man who started 200,000-hectare Saskatchewan wildfire

Jason Halkett’s sentencing has been postponed for several weeks after he pleaded guilty to starting Saskatchewan’s devastating Ditch-2 wildfire last year. The blaze burned more than 200,000 hectares, damaged structures and forced community evacuations. He remains in custody and is expected in court on Sept. 17 after contested submissions from the Crown and defence.
