MooseJaw

The Moose Jaw Major AAA Little League team is heading to the Canadian Championship in Victoria, B.C., and they’re inviting the community to help make the journey unforgettable.

Assistant Coach Doug Young shared that the team is hosting a Rib and Caesar Night fundraiser tonight (Friday, July 25) at the Crushed Can Rec Room & Bar from 4 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at Minute Muffler or from any team parent or player. A limited number will also be available at the door.

The Saskatchewan government says it’s making good on its promise to stabilize health care in rural and northern communities — including Moose Jaw — by creating or enhancing 77 full-time healthcare positions across the province.

A 44-year-old Regina correctional officer has been charged with trafficking drugs into the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre. 

Justin Amyotte is facing charges of conspiracy to commit the indictable offence of trafficking a controlled substance, breach of trust by a public officer, and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. 

As the summer heat ramps up over the coming days, the interior of your vehicle can feel like a blazing furnace. To avoid potential hazards, here are some items you should steer clear of leaving in your car during these scorching days.

The list is as follows, according to the Moose Jaw Fire Department's Public Education Officer, Damandeep Sangha:

Conservative Agriculture Critic John Barlow is warning that the Liberal's Clean Fuel Standard will hit Canadians hard at the gas pump and the grocery store.

Citing a recent Department of Agriculture briefing, Barlow said the policy will raise fuel prices by 13 cents per litre for gasoline and 16 cents per litre for diesel by 2030. He criticized the government for downplaying the impact on consumers.

A lawyer for one of two leaders of the Freedom Convoy facing sentencing told an Ottawa court Wednesday her client should not be left with a criminal record.

Crown prosecutor Siobhain Wetscher said Wednesday she is seeking stiff sentences for convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber because of the broad community harm caused by the three-week 2022 protest in Ottawa's downtown core.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrapped three days of meetings with his fellow premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday with a message he admitted he wouldn't have sent over the past decade.

"We can be proud of the work our federal government is doing, in fairness," Moe said.

Moe has been one of the federal Liberal government's most vocal critics in recent years — and criticism of Ottawa is usually guaranteed when provincial leaders gather.

Manitoba is continuing to work on growing the agri-food sector. 

Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced over $6 million in funding from the province and the federal government to increase food processing opportunities.

The announcement was made at Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon, one of the recipients of the funding. 

Maple Leaf's President of Pork Operations Dennis Organ says the investment will help modernize the Brandon pork facility with state-of-the-art equipment, improving reliability, efficiency and production quality. 

HOMEBASE Moose Jaw is expanding its health services this summer through a new partnership with Medavie Health Services West, bringing a registered nurse (RN) on-site for the first time.

The position is part of Saskatchewan’s Integrated Youth Services (IYS) model and marks the first time Medavie has formally partnered with a Saskatchewan-based youth hub to deliver Registered Nurse services on location. Medavie's service platform in eastern provinces such as Nova Scotia is broader than here, giving them the foundation to expand on what they can offer in Saskatchewan.

This August, Moose Jaw will be the starting point for one of Saskatchewan’s most immersive food and farm experiences.

After a successful first year in 2024, Saskatchewan Open Farm Days returns this August 9 and 10, with 35 farms and agri-businesses across the province welcoming visitors for tours, tastings and hands-on activities. The goal? To connect people directly with the land and producers behind their food.
