MooseJaw

Moose Jaw athletes have advanced to the playoff rounds in women’s box lacrosse and women’s softball at the Canada Summer Games in St. John’s, N.L. 

On Tuesday, Saskatchewan’s women’s softball team picked up an 11-4 win over P.E.I. Moose Jaw’s Blake Maltais played right field and went two-for-four at the plate with four runs batted in. 

Rob Carnie - Summer construction. Wow. The City of Moose Jaw just sent out a news release that everybody can access at Moosejaw.ca.  

The city provides summer construction update on most impressive list of work that has been done and most noticeable around the city of Moose Jaw is some great work on our roads, some great patching work on manholes being repaired, crosswalks being painted. The city is looking pretty good. 

Carnie's Comments

It was late last Saturday night. I was well-rested and feeling energetic. Then, I remembered, I had been invited to a party in my neighbourhood. I don't go to too many shindigs anymore but I went to that one and stayed out very late.

Back at home, at 2:30am, I was still kind of edgy and then I realized, the moon was full. That explained it for me.

Are our emotions, in fact, heightened during a full moon? I believe they are but, some think it's just folklore.

Rob Carnie - We continue to look for a spot for the landfill. We know our long time landfill is reaching the end of its life. We got to get out of there and we've got to find a new location and nobody seems to want the landfill in their neighborhood, which is, I suppose, understandable.  

But something's going to happen soon. Can you expand on that? 

Rob Carnie - Time for Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael, featuring Moose Jaw city manager Maurice Carmichael. City manager, let's start with the SAMA contract. It has been renewed; SAMA standing for the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency. 

Air Canada says it will begin a gradual suspension of flights to allow an orderly shutdown as it faces a potential work stoppage by its flight attendants on Saturday.

The airline says the first flights will be cancelled Thursday, with more on Friday and a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend.

Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines will continue to operate as normal. 

Air Canada says customers whose flights are cancelled will be notified and they will be eligible for a full refund.

SaskPower customers in rural areas northeast and north of Marquis will find themselves without power this morning due to a planned outage.

The outage is expected to begin this morning at 10 a.m. and has scheduled end time of 5 p.m. today. 

Southbound traffic on Main Street N will be subject to a lane restriction today to allow storm water system assessments to take place. 

While assessments are underway, traffic will be restricted to the west side lane only between Town N Country Drive and Thatcher Drive.

No end date for the closure has been determined at this point in time.

Team Saskatchewan struck gold for the first time at the Canada Summer Games and it was a Moose Jaw athlete who did it!

Swimmer Leo Zheng from the local Flying Fins Club was tops in the Para Men’s 100 metre backstroke.

Regina’s Baer Robertson added to the Team Sask medal haul with a bronze in a 1,000 metre canoe race.

Here's a recap from yesterday's competition: 

BASKETBALL (M & F)

China has hit Canada with a new round of canola tariffs, threatening one of Western Canada's biggest cash crops and causing potential issues for farmers looking to sell their crops. The tariffs were announced overnight Monday in China, meaning that people watching the agriculture markets were in for quite the shock Tuesday morning.

Chuck Penner, founder of Left Field Commodity Research, was watching the markets and says much of the agriculture sector saw this coming.
