WEYBURN – The City of Weyburn welcomes two new names to its Walk of Fame next month, honouring the achievements and hometown ties of Jason Bohn and James K. Hill.

Bohn and Hill will be formally inducted during the Walk of Fame ceremony at Weyburn City Hall at 2 p.m. on June 14. Alongside family members and the community, their remarkable careers and lasting connection to the community will be celebrated.

“This year’s inductees exemplify the spirit, ambition and values that define our community,” said Coun. Laura Morrissette, Chair of the Walk of Fame Committee. “We are honoured to celebrate Jason and James, not only for their accomplishments on the national and international stage, but for the pride they continue to show in their Weyburn roots.”

Jason Bohn, inducted in the Arts & Entertainment category, was born and raised in Weyburn, where his early passion for the arts shone through band, drama, and even a stint as “Captain United” for Communithon. After moving to Saskatoon in 1996, he began his career as a production trainee and rose to become a respected First Assistant Director and member of the Directors Guild of Canada. With credits on numerous film and television productions — including work with Netflix, Hallmark, and Lionsgate — Bohn has remained in Saskatchewan, contributing to the growth of the province’s film industry and mentoring future filmmakers through Creative Saskatchewan. Today, filmmaking is a family pursuit, with both his wife and son in the industry.

James K. Hill, inducted in the Business & Industry category, is a Canadian diplomat whose 35-year career with the Department of External Affairs has taken him around the world. A Weyburn native and University of Saskatchewan graduate, Hill has served in the Middle East, Europe, and Central America, including a posting as Ambassador to Costa Rica. In leadership roles with Global Affairs Canada, he has advanced Canada’s economic ties in complex regions. Most recently, as Consul General in Atlanta, he helped mark the 50th anniversary of the U.S./Canada partnership, inviting fellow Weyburnite Tenille Arts to perform. Though his work spans the globe, Hill’s pride in his hometown remains strong.

As part of this year’s ceremony, the City of Weyburn will unveil a commemorative plaque in honour of the late Councillor Dick Michel, recognizing his many years of dedicated service as Chair of the Walk of Fame Committee. This tribute celebrates not only his dedication to uplifting the achievements of others, but also the lasting impact he made on a community he held close to his heart.

The Weyburn Walk of Fame celebrates individuals who have made outstanding contributions in Arts & Entertainment, Business & Industry, Community Service, Athletics, and Academics. For information on nomination criteria and past inductees, visit .
