When thinking about a career, we all want somewhere with growth potential, somewhere with stability, and somewhere with purpose. A career with Richardson Milling can give you just that. 

Audrey Harder is known to many as the Board Chair of Summer in the City. However, she likes to point out that her near-decade of involvement with the event started as a volunteer face-painter.

“I started by volunteering in the kids area,” she recalls. “Then I was the Volunteer Coordinator for the kids area, and then I did face-painting. I’d spend entire days face-painting and absolutely loved it. And I became really good at it!”

Rob: Take Five with Carnie and Carmichael featuring Moose Caw City Manager Maryse Carmichael talking about a number of ongoing issues and the things that are top of mind for Moose Jaw residents.

Rob: Now let's talk about back alley maintenance. This is something that has come up in my neighborhood a number of times over the years and some of the older neighborhoods in Moose Jaw, well, just about all the neighborhoods in Moose Jaw, some of the newer neighborhoods have garages with front entrances and nice driveways. But a lot of the more mature neighborhoods there are garages in back alleys on my block, for example, I think there's 8 or 10 garages that people need to access in the back alley. And it's a muddy mess in the spring.

Everyone knows that golf season has officially opened, but it’s also mini golf and ice cream season at La Broquerie Golf!

Manager Pat Gauthier explains that mini golf is fairly new for them.

“Last year was our first full year of mini golf. Everyone can enjoy it – from the young, all the way to the young-at-heart. It's good easy fun for everybody.”

Gauthier and his team felt the town needed something more to do than baseball and golf – that’s when they decided to put in a mini golf course at La Broquerie Golf.

Eric Neufeld knows what happens when you neglect your air conditioning unit.

“All kinds of dust, grass, and dirt gets packed in there, and really cuts down on the efficiency. Over time, it can really damage the A/C unit.”

Neufeld is a service technician with Titanium Mechanical in Steinbach.

“When people call Titanium for a service, I'm one of the technicians coming out and doing the diagnostics, service, and repair. You'll probably be seeing me most of the time.”
