MooseJaw

Between retirements and new provincial funding, the Moose Jaw Police Service is looking for 16 new officers over the next two years. 

Police Chief Rick Bourassa said three people have been identified by their most recent recruitment process, and they’re looking to send them to the Saskatchewan Police College in January. “We were hoping to have four – we just didn’t have four that made it all the way through the process,” he said. 

Can you just tell us a little bit about why you decided to run for mayor? 

I was born here in Moose Jaw, so I feel like I have a lifelong attachment to our city. Through personal experiences, I have a deep desire to improve our city and the commitment to follow through and contribute to a sort of Moose Jaw revival, if you will.  

It's game night at the Moose Jaw Events Centre as the Warriors host the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

Tomorrow, the team heads to Medicine Hat to play the Tigers - puck drop for that game is 8. As always, you can catch all the action on Country 100 with James Gallo.

The Winmar AAA Warriors have a pair of home games this weekend against the Warman Wildcats. Puck drop tomorrow is 7, with a matinee on Sunday starting at 1:30.

UPDATE: Police say the rollover, which happened at around 11:49 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, has resulted in fatal injuries for one occupant, with two others transported to hospital. 

One person remains in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and another was released after being treated for minor injuries. 

Applications opened Thursday for a $1-billion federal program to help municipalities and Indigenous communities build critical infrastructure.

The government set aside $1 billion through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund in direct funding to communities to build or improve infrastructure to support drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste.

Applications are available online for municipalities and Indigenous communities. Those applicants will need to demonstrate how their proposals will support the building of more homes.

Why did you decide to run for mayor? 

I guess I firmly believe right now that Moose Jaw is in a very pivotal moment. And that we have the opportunity, I think, to really define and shape the future for the city for generations to come.

The 12th annual Paws for Pledges Radiothon is hitting the airwaves tomorrow on Country 100 in support of the Moose Jaw Humane Society.

Have an unwanted hunting rifle sitting around the house? How about a pair of antlers or maybe some old fishing gear?
