MooseJaw

Moose Jaw Pride, an organization dedicated to celebrating sexual and gender diversity, has events planned every day for Pride Week 2025, starting with an affirming church service on Sunday, May 25th, and ending with a Coming Out Campfire on Sunday, June 1st.

The theme of Moose Jaw Pride Week 2025 is "Loud & Proud," aimed at assuring the community's LGBTQ+ members that they are safe and accepted. The week includes a Pride Flash Tattoo Event by Against the Grain Artisan Gallery & Tattoos from May 26 to June 1, with proceeds going to subsidize other Pride events.

ROSETOWN, Sask. — The high-profile human trafficking and sexual assault trial of Mohammad Masum and Sohel Haider entered its second week of this stretch of trial on Tuesday with testimony from a former Saskatchewan MLA who told the court he discreetly intervened to help a woman police allege was being exploited while working in a rural restaurant.

The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission hosted a presentation at the Moose Jaw Public Library on Tuesday evening to discuss inherent rights and hear from local residents. 

The commission was formed in 1972 and is an independent agency of the Government of Saskatchewan that serves to protect the public’s equal rights. 

Following an announcement from Canada Post that they would unilaterally change working conditions and suspend employee benefits for front-liners, and after months of continued failures at the negotiating table, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) plans to resume the strike which was suspended by the federal government in December.

Carnie's Comments

Are you a proud Canadian?

I am. I'm kind of proud of some of the stereotypes that surround us too.

I'm reading the results of a survey of Canadians and Americans, released about a year ago, before the "elbows up" movement began.

It found the top three stereotypes Canadians are most tired of hearing is that we say "eh", we love hockey and we love Tim Hortons. 

A U.S. company develops a trait that it says provides genetic resistance to sclerotinia, which can be challenging for growers.

A San Diego company is closer to commercializing a trait that could protect canola from sclerotinia.

In April, Cibus announced that two of its disease resistance traits for canola have been designated as “not regulated” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“We are encouraged by USDA-APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) broad designation for these traits being developed,” said Cibus co-founder Peter Beetham.
