October saw the highest monthly sales ever reported in Saskatchewan, with 1,520 sales during the month bumping numbers to 21 per cent higher than 2023 — 36 per cent above long-term, 10-year historical averages. Cole Zawislak with the Saskatchewan Realtor’s Association (SRA) said that trend holds across the province, including for Moose Jaw. 

Fundraisers are taking place to help the Hodnefield family after their son Wells was diagnosed with the very rare brain disorder MPPH (Megalencephaly, Postaxial Polydactyly, Polymicrogyria, Hydrocephalus) Syndrome. 

When his mother Chaydin was 20 weeks pregnant with Wells, an anatomy scan could not see a portion of Wells’ brain. Chaydin, along with her husband Lane, was asked to come back for subsequent scans. 

It took nearly five months, but Dillon Peeace’s attempted murder case was finally resolved in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Wednesday. 

As part of a court order, lawyer Brian Pfefferle appeared via telephone on behalf of his client. 

In June, Peeace took a plea deal for his role in a machete attacked in downtown Moose Jaw that took place on Sept. 28, 2023.

Carnie's Comments

It's time for fun and frivolity with Facebook Friday! I find the best from the best.

This one, "So the guy asked me who has more fun than people. Dogs, I said. Dogs have more fun than people."

Speaking of dogs, I like this, "I shouldn't let my dog sleep in my bed? Dude, my dog can take out a credit card in my name if he wants to."

Here's a friend who shares, "I've reached the age where I appreciate a nice handrail."

Canada’s unemployment rate held steady at 6.5 per cent last month as hiring remained weak across the economy.

Statistics Canada’s labour force survey on Friday said employment rose by a modest 15,000 jobs in October.

Business, building and support services saw the largest gain in employment.

Meanwhile, finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing experienced the largest decline.

Many economists see weakness in the job market continuing in the short term, before the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cuts spark a rebound in economic growth next year.
