MooseJaw

Jody Chell, a well-known community advocate who was especially active in lifting spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic, has died at the age of 50.

Chell was a key organizer of a senior home and essential workers parade in April 2020 amid the early months of the pandemic.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared that after decades of haphazard promises, Canada will hit the NATO defence spending target of 2 per cent of national GDP in this fiscal year, reinforcing the country’s role in international defence alliances and helping modernize the Canadian Armed Forces. 

About 500 elementary students from Moose Jaw and beyond took part in a full-day celebration of Indigenous culture and knowledge this week, during the ‘Indigenous Ways of Learning’ event hosted by King George Elementary School. 

It's Father's Day on Sunday and there's plenty going on in and around Moose Jaw to mark the occasion. Here's a quick look at what is coming up this weekend:

Thatcher Drive East from Ninth Avenue Northeast to Highway 1 will be temporarily closed for paving starting Monday.

City contractors will be on site to complete asphalt milling, paving and deep road repairs, with the work expected to be completed by June 20, weather permitting.

Temporary barricades will be in place on the east side of the Ninth Avenue Northeast intersection to the Highway 1 turnoff, and the roadway will be closed to both eastbound and westbound traffic.

Carnie's Comments

It's Friday and time to have some fun on Facebook Friday! I find the funnies.

Like this one, "I can't remember what I wanted to be when I grew up but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a broke, stressed-out overthinker with no clothes that fit."

This guy, "I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong."

I like this, "Decided to have a garage sale this weekend so I can argue with strangers about whether this toy we spent $100 on is worth 25 or 50 cents."

The Okotoks Dawgs came from behind to pick up an 11–9 win over the Moose Jaw Miller Express on Thursday, splitting a two-game series. 

Thursday night was a slugfest at Ross Wells Park as the teams combined for five home runs. 

The Miller Express held a 4–0 lead before giving up seven unanswered runs between the fourth and seventh innings. 

"A lot of beef jerky!"

That's how James Stone plans to spend his $200 gift card to Hub Meats. He is the Mix 103 and Hub Meats Meat my Dad grand prize winner!

Along with his prize from Hub Meats, James also gets a sweet prize package from Emerald Custom creations.

Calum McAnally gave James a call on the Mix 103 Morning Show to share the good news. Listen below.

Happy Father's Day!
