A family in Moose Jaw needs help after a house fire claimed all their belongings.

On September 13th around 7:30 p.m. at the 400 block of Fairford Street in Moose Jaw, the Cameron family's rental home went up in flames. With no tenant insurance, the fire took all the family's belongings with it while leaving the couple and their three children with very little in their name.

"Losing a house to a fire along with everything you own in seconds (brings) a lot of anxiety right now," said Andrew Cameron, husband and father of the family.

Fall is mating and migration season for a number of animals, and motorists are being reminded that moose, elk, and deer are less wary around traffic this time of year.

A Moose Jaw man recently found he’d won $100,000 when he checked his LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket. 

Ken Bullied said he initially wasn’t able to see how much he’d won, since he didn’t have his reading glasses on, and had to have his son-in-law check it out for him. 

Bullied bought the winning ticket at 7-Eleven on 13th Ave NW for the Sept. 17 EXTRA draw. 

An e-transfer scam currently circulating is targeting SaskPower customers.  

The e-mail appears to be an e-transfer from a SaskPower Carbon Council, asking people to click on a button to deposit funds from the Government of Saskatchewan to their financial institution. 

SaskPower says they do not send e-transfers and urge people to advise police if they have clicked on the link.  

The federal government is expected to boost the minimum hourly wage that must be paid to temporary foreign workers in the high-wage stream as a way to encourage employers to hire more Canadian staff.
