I was privileged and pleased to attend a Major League Baseball game at Yankee Stadium a number of years ago with some good friends.

We planned in advance with a rock concert the main attraction at Madison Square Garden but we also bought tickets to see the Yankees host the Baltimore Orioles.

We had great seats but they were $300 apiece. I wasn't really excited about that but, one of my buddies said, "Think about it, how many times will you get the chance to see a ball game at Yankee Stadium?"

The Manitoba Beef and Forage Conference is set to take place Wednesday at the William Glesby Centre in Portage La Prairie, where a full range of Agri business booths will be on hand for producers across the prairies to explore. 

The conference is a popular event to hear from local producers and industry experts across the region discussing the application of research on the farm.  Forage and livestock specialist Shawn Cabak is one of the speakers and notes the venue will be full of agribusiness booths for producers to visit. 

The five candidates in the running to become the next mayor of Moose Jaw took part in an all-candidates forum on Tuesday night at the Moose Jaw Events Centre. 

Taking part in the forum were Clive Tolley, Crystal Froese, James Murdock, Mike Simpkins and Kim Robinson. 

Some of the subjects that were touched upon during the forum included: 

The dust has settled, and the First Preliminary Count of the 2024 Saskatchewan General Election are in for Moose Jaw North.  

The voters chose the Saskatchewan Party’s Tim McLeod, who swept the riding with 4,350 votes compared to Cheantelle Fisher and the NDP’s 2,761, securing McLeod’s reelection for a second term. 

We spoke with McLeod to get his thoughts upon getting the results. 

Moose Jaw has been selected as the location for the 2024 Saskatchewan Karate Association’s Fall Provincial Tournament, with the city represented by members of the Five Hills Karate Club. 

It all gets underway on November 9 and will see over 100 martial artists from across the province gather at the Saskatchewan PolyTechnic Gymnasium, competing for provincial acclaim – and in the case of black belt athletes, a spot on the national team. 

Make retirement homes a part of your Halloween experience this year! 

We’ve compiled a list of locations in Moose Jaw that would love to see your kids decked out in their costumes on Oct. 31: 

Prince George, B.C. – The Moose Jaw Warriors had opportunities to swing the game in their favour but came up short, falling 4-1 to the Cougars in Prince George on Tuesday night.

“Our effort, our compete was there, for the most part, we really liked our game,” Warriors assistant coach Curtis Pereverzoff said. “Our structure, the efforts, we were staying around the puck, we were getting shots through, we had a lot of quality looks and it just unfortunate we didn’t get the job done.”

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says its investigation into an Ontario facility processing plant-based milk found it was not adhering to Health Canada’s policies on listeria prevention.

The facility is still shut down after a listeria outbreak last summer linked to the plant infected at least 20 people in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Alberta and led to three deaths.
