The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is looking for producer input on proposed changes to the Chronic Wasting Disease Control Program for farmed cervids.

The orginal program was designed to control CWD in farmed deer and elk populations through prevention and early detection, however we've seen CWD spread into new areas.

Here's a look at what's happening on the streets of Moose Jaw this morning:

Moose Jaw Warriors' Ethan Semeniuk has been named the Tempo WHL Player of the Week.

The veteran defenceman recorded five points and a plus-7 rating in two games, as the Warriors swept the Brandon Wheat Kings in a home-and-home series to open the new season.

The Warriors are back in action this Saturday night as they host the Swift Current Broncos.

The Sask Male U-18 Triple "A" Hockey League opened the regular season last night with the Saskatoon Blazers topping Notre Dame 6-1. 

A controversial amendment to the zoning bylaw to make supportive housing a discretionary use in the R3 (high-density residential), R4 (core mixed residential) and C2 (high-density commercial) districts passed its first two readings at Moose Jaw city council’s meeting last night. 

However, it did not pass unanimously, delaying the third reading to the next city council meeting on Oct. 14. 

The 2025 Canadian Disc Golf Championship, held September 12–14 in Port Hope, Ontario, brought together top players from across the country—and a few from the U.S.—for a competitive weekend on three diverse courses. Moose Jaw’s Drew Biette was among them, finishing around 37th overall.

“I didn’t have the best rounds I wanted to, but it was a cool experience,” Biette said. “You’re competing against the top of Canada, and it’s interesting to see how others play and where small mistakes happen.”

Moose Jaw Police Service statistics show substantial decreases in most major crime categories for August 2025, with total crimes against persons down 45% from 44 to 24 cases and property crimes falling 32% from 142 to 96 cases compared to August 2024.

The most dramatic reductions occurred in breaking and entering incidents, which dropped 75% from 16 cases in August 2024 to just 4 in August 2025. Business break-ins fell from 5 to 1, while residential break-ins decreased from 7 to 3.

Moose Jaw Family Services will host its annual fall clothing giveaway September 25th and 26th, offering free clothing and household items to community members preparing for the winter season.

Tara Jones, executive director at Moose Jaw Family Services, said the two-day event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at their facility at 200 Main Street South.

The Moose Jaw Police Service says it is taking vandalism to parking meters seriously, but catching those responsible can be difficult. 

Deputy chief Rick Johns said vandalism to meters is a crime of opportunity, and police rely heavily on the public to be their eyes and ears. 

“It’s people that are watching an area and may see a meter they want to attack,” Johns said. 

Prime Minister Mark Carney pitched Canada as a reliable trading partner that "has what the world wants" before an international audience Monday in New York City.

Addressing the Council on Foreign Relations think tank before attending the UN General Assembly, Carney said Canada has the resources, talent and ingenuity the world needs in a time of political and economic turbulence.

"This is not a transition. This is a rupture," he said. "This is a sharp change in a short period of time, driven by a variety of factors. We have a determination to rise up and meet this."
