MooseJaw

As forest fires continue to displace residents in northern Saskatchewan, Moose Jaw is stepping up as a temporary refuge — and the local business community is being asked to help.

The Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce has confirmed that eight evacuees from the Beauval area have already arrived and are staying at local hotels, with at least 30 more evacuees expected in the coming days. The numbers are expected to fluctuate as the situation evolves.

The Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners was introduced to PSD Draco, the newest member of the Moose Jaw Police Service canine unit. 

Draco, a 17-month-old Belgian Malinois, came to the Moose Jaw Police Service from a 17-year veteran of the Regina Police Service canine unit. 

That officer had purchased two dogs, including Draco, to train independently. 

The Assiniboia & District Historical Museum is gearing up to launch an exciting temporary exhibit, ACE Academy: Flight Experience, starting on August 11, 2025. This immersive exhibit promises to captivate visitors with its authentic aircraft imagery and interactive displays, featuring cutting-edge motion-sensing technology.

"It's very immersive and a lot of people have given really good reviews. That's why we thought we would bring it in so everybody can take part in it," said Assiniboia & District Historical Museum coordinator, Sally Svenson. 

The Moose Jaw mayor and city councillors claimed $3,187.62 in total discretionary expenses during the first six months of 2025. 

Coun. Carla Delaurier claimed the most at $2,404.03. Her expenses included $55.12 for business cards, $583 for SUMA convention registration fees, $584.40 for SUMA per diem, $1,033.11 for SUMA convention reimbursements including hotels, meals and parking, $42.40 for SUMA virtual summit registration, and $106 for a Municipal Leaders Roles and Responsibilities workshop. 

The Moose Jaw Miller Express scored 11 unanswered runs in an 11-2 win over the Medicine Hat Mavericks on Wednesday night.

Medicine Hat jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning.

After a scoreless second, Moose Jaw replied with five runs in the third. Thomas Soto and Ben Waliczek scored off an Austin Gurney single. William Edwards scored the third run on a Robert Estrada sacrifice fly. Tanner DeGrazia singled to score Gurney, and Eduardo Saenz crossed home plate on a wild pitch.

Carnie's Comments

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

We all love summer, don't we? Remember when we were kids and we had the entire summer off? That was so good.

Summertime sleepovers were a thing when we were kids. I clearly recall one that didn't go so well.

I think I was 7 years old. One of my buddies invited me to stay at his place. I accepted.

We had a great afternoon playing in the sun and his mom called us in for supper around 5 o'clock.
