Executive Committee may have voted against waiving the landfill and permitting fees necessary for the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank’s new facility but the community has responded to cover the fees even before many people got out of bed.

If you woke up at around 5 am this morning wondering why your power is out you are not alone.

A broken power pole caused by an accident has resulted in a power outage across the north and east portions of the city.

A long time dream project for the Town of Assiniboia became reality on Tuesday with an announcement of millions of federal and provincial dollars awarded to constructing a new rink, walking track and community centre in the community.

To help bridge the time between paying an invoice to the time re-payment arrives from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) Executive Committee unanimously decided to co-sign a loan to allow the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority complete their upgrades of the municipal airport.

The guarantee or co-signing of the loan will not cost the taxpayers any money.

The City anticipates the sinkhole in the intersection of Fairford and Main will be repaired by this evening allowing Main Street to be re-opened.

Mayor Fraser Tolmie’s election expenses and contributions released by the City.

The Moose Jaw and District Food Bank has a new home read about the move, the need to purchase their own facility, the real state of hunger in Moose Jaw and how you can help out.

A portion of Main Street will be closed to traffic in order to facilitate repairs of a sinkhole in the intersection of Fairford and Main right in front of City Hall.

Just when you thought Winter was over there is a snowfall warning issued for Moose Jaw and area.

There are three areas - including what appears to be a sinkhole on Main Street close to City Hall - drivers should be aware of as they hit the road today.

A look back at the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank, their mission and the big step in their dream they are about to embark on.

Not much has changed in the local Spring runoff potential and some large wet snowfalls from now until the end of Winter would vastly improve the situation according to a Saskatchewan Water Protection Agency report.

Runoff would be a relief to many area farmers and a boost to local wildlife and trees.

Although it is still too early to tell, but depending how the program rolls out and if the amount of methane makes it viable a new federal government initiative could be just another added boost to move the City into generating electricity at the landfill.

With no positive COVID - 19 tests the Moose Jaw Warriors and other teams have been given the OK to commence on-ice practices as the 24 game regular season is set to get underway on March 12th.

It might still be Winter but if you have privately owned elm trees and you want to trim them you legally have only until March 31st to do so before the seasonal trimming ban takes effect.

It is all part of the Province’s rules to stop the spread of Dutch Elm Disease that has devastated urban forests worldwide.
