West central performers among Saskatchewan talent for TeleMiracle 50

West central Saskatchewan entertainers are set to take the stage for TeleMiracle 50, the province’s annual fundraising telethon, slated for Feb. 28–March 1, 2026.

Performers from the region include Cole Patton and the Blackjacks of Kindersley, Lynden Paquette of Rosetown, Caledonia Donahue of Biggar, and Evan Baxter with the Bum Band from Vanscoy. They are among 70 Saskatchewan Talent acts selected to perform, with 45 of those performances broadcast live.

TeleMiracle has long offered flexibility for performers who face medical or other barriers, allowing some acts to pre-record their performances in supportive environments. Most Saskatchewan Talent will perform live, but pre-recorded performances will air during the telethon to ensure full inclusion.

Performers join from across the province, from Assiniboia to Beauval and Lloydminster to Pelly, showcasing a wide variety of talent, from singing and dancing to acting, along with some first-time acts.

“We saw an extraordinary response to auditions this year,” said Tammy Blackwell, chair of TeleMiracle 50. “I am blown away by the talent in Saskatchewan. You are going to need to tune in all 22 hours to see for yourself.”

TeleMiracle, entering its 50th year in 2026, has raised more than $171 million to improve the quality of life and independence of people across the province through the Kinsmen Foundation.
