MooseJaw

For people who love concerts, this may be a familiar occurrence. Attending two concerts across the province in as many days was a new experience for me early this week.

I haven't been much of a concert-goer until recently. Sure, I've been to concerts in the past and enjoyed them. However, now that I've started going to more live performances in the last few months, it's a new joy in life that I've discovered.

A Collective Bargaining Agreement for over 200 employees represented by CUPE Local 9 at the City of Moose Jaw has been finalized. 

The previous agreement expired on December 31, 2022, and was replaced by a tentative agreement between the two parties back in February 2025. That new agreement has since been ratified and will be in place until December 31, 2026.

It’s the first day of the nationwide consumer carbon tax pause, and the effects are already starting to show at the pumps here in Moose Jaw. Prices began to fall early this morning, something that GasBuddy Senior Petroleum Analyst, Patrick De Haan says is a welcome change for Canadian consumers. 

Brian Starkell is used to fighting fires. But when it comes to major curling events, he fires up the crowd. 

If you come to the BKT World Men’s Curling Championship, however, you will hear Starkell’s booming voice yelling “Let’s go Canada, let’s go!” followed by a “Yay Canada!” throughout the arena, with fans clapping along. 

Starkell is a retired Nipawin fire chief who spent 10 years as chief and 47 years in total as a firefighter. Nowadays, he spends his time volunteering.

It's Tuesday - Twitter Tuesday! I find the best from the best of the Twitterati.

We'll start with this, "I could have made better choices in life but how much fun would that have been?"

This funny gal I follow shares, "I wonder if birds just wing it when they’re trying to find their way back home."

This guy Tweets, "I appreciate the people that interact with me here and I really appreciate the ones that don't."

I like this one, "If you're having a bad day just remember, you still haven’t tasted all the food you’re going to love."

Team Canada picked up a huge 8-6 win in the morning draw against Sweden at the BKT World Men’s Curling Championship at Temple Gardens Centre.

It was an important game for both teams, as they came into this draw tied in the standings at 3-1.

"Beating Sweden, we were both 3-1, and keeping ourselves at one loss, that’s a huge win for us," added skip Brad Jacobs.

With last rock in the first end, Jacobs was left with an open takeout to score one. However, his shot rolled a little too far, and it was a steal of one for Sweden.
