Take 5

Rob Carnie: Let's talk about this. This is something new. It's a no reentry policy at the Moose Jaw Events Centre for Moose Jaw Warriors games. Tell us how this came about. 

Maryse Carmichael: Yes, the season is starting really, really soon. I was just at the Event Centre yesterday for a hockey practice. So, we're back in the in the new season, there's a few changes at the Event Center. 

Rob Carnie: It's another edition of Take 5 with Carney and Carmichael! Featuring Moose Jaw city manager, Maurice Carmichael, and first up on the agenda today is the Priorities and Potential Survey.  

Rob Carnie: One more thing before I let you go, City Manager Carmichael, and that is, let’s talk about the progress with the new signage for the 30 kilometer per hour school zones. 

I did see contractors erecting new signs at Saint Agnes School just recently, are all the signs at all the schools up now, or do we still have a few to go? 

Rob Carnie: Civic election, you mentioned (it). Of course there is a civic election coming up this fall. Let’s go over voter registration and mail-in balloting and free city transit on election day and everything that we need to know about the civic election coming up in the fall. 

Rob Carnie: Maryse Carmichael is the City Manager with the City of Moose Jaw. She’s on Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael, the annual city survey, let’s talk about that. 

Maryse Carmichael: We want to hear from residents, this year’s survey is going to be called “Parties and Potential”.  

Rob Carnie: Let’s touch on Souls Harbor. They operate the Riverside Mission in Moose Jaw. Let’s clarify where we are with that whole situation.  

As most people know, they want to build a new facility and get out of the old decrepit facility they have on Manitoba Street. Where are we at with that situation? 

Rob Carnie: Community safety: let’s follow up on the meeting that we had. There were a lot of people showing up and talking about, mainly, the homeless people that are around Moose Jaw and some people fear for their safety. 

A lot of our homeless population are harmless people who just want to live life and get a bite to eat. But there are people in our downtown core that are upset, and some elderly people have come forward and said they fear for their safety. 

Rob Carnie: It's another edition of Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael featuring Moose Jaw City Manager, Maryse Carmichael. Let's start with a #notoriously active Fall and Winter Rec Guide. I hate to say fall and winter in August, Maryse, but here we are, and the Rec Guide is out, and lots of opportunities for local people, local families to get involved across the City of Moose Jaw at all our great facilities. 

After getting direction from city council last week, a public meeting about homeless shelters is in the works, according to City Manager Maryse Carmichael. 

Despite the rejection of the Discretionary Use Application placed by the City of Moose Jaw for a new solid waste facility to be located north of the city in the RM of Moose Jaw last month, both sides are in talks to decide a suitable location for the future facility.
