Walk-in clinics open this week for influenza and COVID-19 immunizations, and booked appointments are also available.  

Dr. Hortense Tabien, medical health officer with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, said that fall is when an increase in respiratory illness is seen. “This is the best time to get your protection, that is going to take you throughout the season.” 

In less than two weeks, poppies will be distributed around Moose Jaw.

The Poppy Campaign gets kicked off on October 25. Starting then, you'll be able to purchase and wear a poppy to show remembrance for those who have served and sacrificed.

“When a person becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” 

Dena Marie Ries (née: DesRoches), a loving and caring wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, great-grandmother and friend, has passed away at the age of 80 years, on Friday, October 11th, 2024. 

The chances of a half-percentage point interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada became more likely Tuesday after Statistics Canada reported annual inflation fell to 1.6 per cent in September.

Economist Tu Nguyen of accounting and consultancy firm RSM Canada said she had expected the inflation rate to remain close to the central bank's two per cent target, where it was in August, for a few more months.

"This is one of the instances where I'm happy to be wrong," she said.

On October 9th, 2024, we lost a son, a brother, an uncle, and a best friend. He was an amazing brother, the world's best uncle. And the most loving son and grandson. He loved his nieces and nephews more than anything in the world. He had a big heart and wanted to help everyone. He loved to joke around with everyone and could make anyone laugh. He always had a joke to tell you.

This Halloween, Moose Javians will be in for a shock the rest of October.

The Moose Jaw Shock House is setting up this week at the Town n' Country Mall (1235 Main St. N) for ten nights of horror-filled fun. This will be a large walk-through "Haunted House" with live actors, props, sounds, various lighting, and lots of screams! The Shock House will be open 7 - 10 PM on the following days: October 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31, and November 1.

It's time to feature the best of the best from the Twitterati on Twitter Tuesday!

Let's start with one you might relate to, "What I miss most about the 80s is people not being able to reach me when I wasn't home."

This single gal I follow shares, "Imagine falling in love with someone and finding out they take the window seat on a flight and keep the shade closed the whole time."

Canada's decision to expel New Delhi's top envoy and five other diplomats is front-page news in India, as an analyst wonders how other countries will respond.

On Monday, the RCMP warned the public about a rash of crimes including murder, extortion and coercion that the force links to Indian government agents.

The RCMP and other Canadian officials presented evidence to India earlier this past weekend, but they say New Delhi refused to co-operate in police investigations.
