Wednesday evening, Kindersley residents looking to do some shopping were not able to gain access to the local Walmart due to precautionary measures that were taken following a leak.

A representative from corporate affairs with Walmart Canada, stated, “Our Kindersley Walmart store experienced a refrigerant leak. The store was closed temporarily out of caution for clean-up and repair”.

She said the closure was to ensure the safety of the associates and customers and the store reopened Thursday morning, as there were no further safety concerns regarding the incident.
