A series of amendments have been made to The Saskatchewan Employment Act recently and will come into effect later this fiscal year. The Government of Saskatchewan indicated that the amendments will better serve both employers seeking to maintain or grow their businesses in the province and their employees.

"Our labour legislation supports a growing economy and protects the rights of employees," Deputy Premier and Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Jim Reiter said in the announcement.

Carnie's Comments

So, due to what the City of Moose Jaw is calling "an isolated system issue", their eBilling system has been temporarily discontinued. So, they, we, are going old school - back to paper copies of our bills.

I smiled when I heard about this yesterday because I have yet to sign up for that eBilling! I still get my quarterly water bill in the mail. I fill out the stub, write a cheque and drop it off at City Hall. 

It's actually the only bill that doesn't come out of my account automatically. 

It's been a busy week out in the field as farmers continue to work on getting this year's crop in the ground.

Manitoba's weekly crop report shows the provincial crop is now 32 per cent seeded.

Oilseed Specialist Sonia Wilson puts together the weekly crop report, updating seeding progress around the province. 

Held annually since 1981, the City of Moose Jaw Beautification Awards recognize the most outstanding properties in Moose Jaw, encouraging civic pride and the pursuit of aesthetic enhancements.

From now until Friday, July 4, 2025, that home on your block that catches your eye (or perhaps your own) can be nominated in one of the following categories:

The Edmonton Oilers have earned a spot in the NHL's Western Conference Final!

Kasperi Kapanen scored the only goal of the game, in overtime, as the Oilers beat the Golden Knights 1-0 last night, taking the series in five games. Stuart Skinner stopped all 25 shots he faced to get the shutout.

The Oilers await the winner of the Dallas / Winnipeg series which could be decided tonight as the Stars take a 3-1 series lead into tonight's game 5 against the Jets.

The Opposition NDP is raising red flags after the city’s recent Point-in-Time (PiT) count showed a significant increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness. 

According to the PiT count — conducted by Square One Community in partnership with Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) — the number of homeless people in Moose Jaw was 150 in 2024, up from 73 in 2023. 

City council decided Monday night to receive and file a proposed Transit Zero Emissions Vehicle Feasibility Study rather than find funding to proceed with it. 

The city had budgeted $190,600 for the study and had already been approved for a $152,480 grant from Infrastructure Canada, covering 80 per cent of the cost. 

Administration brought the matter forward because the city had applied for the remaining 20 per cent — or $38,120 — through a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. 

Brenda and Ken Humphry have been making about 100 peanut butter ‘n’ jelly sandwiches for several years now, as part of Zion United Church’s partnership with the John Howard Society to feed the hungry in Moose Jaw. 

The couple, who are retired, have made around 14,000 sandwiches at this point. Brenda Humphry said the experience has drastically changed her perspective.
