Q: Why are you running for council?

GIDDINGS

With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Ronald Stanley Pohl, who left us on November 2, 2024, at the age of 78.

He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and numerous friends, including special friends Andy and Sharon.

Why are you running for mayor?

I became the Mayor of Moose Jaw after winning the 2021 by-election, and we made some good progress in my time as mayor, but we're still not done. 

The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign is in need of volunteers. 

Locations across the city will be participating in the annual campaign from Nov. 22 until Dec. 24 this year. 

The following are the responses from Tracy Zimmerman that Discover Moose Jaw posed to all candidates running for city council:

The City of Moose Jaw is sending out letters this week to individuals with outstanding parking tickets. 

“Outstanding isn’t fine” is a new campaign that the city has launched to recoup lost revenue from unpaid parking tickets. 

According to a report to city council in December of 2022, there was over 4,000 people who owed a total of $1.08 million in outstanding fines.
