MooseJaw

Robert “Bob” Gordon Huston aged 69 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away on Sunday, October 27th, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. 

Bob was born in Calgary, AB on April 20th, 1955.  He worked mostly in Western Canada as a drywaller and master plasterer.  He enjoyed doing carpentry work and did wonderful work for local people. 

The Canadian Country Showcase, hosted by Courtney Fielder, airs every weekend on Saturdays at 12 PM and Sundays at 4 PM. Courtney engages in conversations with emerging country music artists and the established stars we’ve come to love, celebrating their milestones and new releases.

As we head into the holiday shopping season, a Winter Market is happening at the Town 'N' Country Mall November 9 and 10.

Over 85 vendors are signed up to take over the space next to Monkey Bars Indoor Playcentre, also known as the "Old Safeway." This will be a great opportunity to cross off some items on your Christmas list and support the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.

Gail Hoffos, Organizer of the Market, talked with Mix 103's Calum McAnally on everything you need to know about the Winter Market. Have a listen below.

Former Moose Jaw MLA, Greg Lawrence’s case – stemming from January 31 charges of assault and assault by choking – has been adjourned once again. 

His lawyer, Merv Nidesh, appeared via telephone in open court on October 31, to request an adjournment while council seeks resolution.  

As such, Lawrence’s case has been adjourned until December 2, 2024.  

The Saskatchewan Party’s Megan Patterson won Moose Jaw Wakamow in the 30th Saskatchewan General Election. 

She beat her nearest opponent, the NDP’s Melissa Patterson, by 922 votes as of yesterday’s Second Preliminary Count. 

Patterson said she was excited, relieved, and honoured to win the seat. 

It’s the 19th annual Better Together Food Drive tonight, put on by the Hillcrest Church in support of the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank. 

Daycee Richardson, with the Hillcrest Church, said their volunteers are excited to collect donations around the city. “We have over 400 volunteers that are ready, coming to your door between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to pick up bags of food, boxes of food – whatever you have for us to give to the food bank.” 

One of the hot-button topics heading into this municipal election will be the city’s contract with the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) and how property assessments are conducted. 

This was a major discussion point during the Mayoral Candidate Forum hosted by the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday night. 

November is almost here, and the Moose Jaw Public Library (MJPL) has plenty in store. 

Naiomi Setter, public service/social media clerk with the MJPL, said they’re planning to have their Veteran Banner Display put up on the ends of the Adult stacks sometime during the first week of November.

It's all in good fun and it's a great boost for retailers.

Polling firm Leger surveyed 1,520 adults this month on their Halloween habits.

They found we Canadians will spend an average of $67.65 on Halloween-related expenses – an amount that rises to $121.57 among parents.
