A 17-year-old boy charged with attempted murder made an appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court earlier this week. 

The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared via video from the Paul Dojack Youth Centre in Regina and was represented by lawyer Merv Nidesh. 

Métis leaders left a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday saying they're confident they will be included in talks about major projects Ottawa hopes to use to bolster the economy in the face of a trade war with the United States.

"When things really matter, Métis governments come together and we get the work done," said Métis Nation of Ontario president Margaret Froh.

The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs says it's time for Ottawa to stop studying the idea of a national forest fire co-ordination agency and take action.

The organization's president wants the federal government to take inspiration from the U.S. Fire Administration to establish a similar office in Canada.

The U.S. office is part of Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, but Ken McMullen says a Canadian version could be simpler and less costly.

Carnie's Comments

It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

It was a question on social media that sparked a memory for me today; "Why is it you can trust your dog to guard your house but not your sandwich?"

It takes me back to childhood and Sunday supper at the house. Sometimes my three siblings and I were allowed to eat in the living room so we could watch "The Wonderful World of Disney" on TV.

I was 5 or 6. My sisters and brother were teenagers.

REINHOLD FRED WEINHEIMER

February 20th, 1935 – August 5th, 2025

Moose Jaw’s own Drew Biette is making waves in the world of disc golf.

The 17-year-old athlete recently returned from the Junior Disc Golf World Championships held in Emporia, KS, from July 15 to 19, where he placed an impressive 23rd overall—an enormous leap from his 90th-place finish the previous year.

“It was a blast,” said Biette. “The tournament directors put on a great event. It was my last year competing in Junior Worlds, so placing 23rd made it special.”

Crop development is varying across the province, but drier areas are seeing crops rapidly advance due to warm temperatures, according to the latest crop report from the Ministry of Agriculture. 

Crops seeded early are nearing maturity in most regions, and rain likely won’t benefit those crops at this stage. However, producers are still hoping for precipitation to support grain fill in later-seeded crops.
