This week’s Spike & Friends Pet Services Inc. Adorable Adoptable from the Moose Jaw Humane Society is Hugo!

Hugo is a 6 1/2 year old neutered male. Hugo is so handsome that he should be a cat model.  Hugo was a very loved and spoiled boy in his previous home, but his mama had to move and was unable to take Hugo along. Hugo is good with dogs and loves kids. He is a sponge for affection and will soak up whatever you have to give. He is easy to love and will work his way into your heart the second you meet him. 

Barb Herbert (née Hetherington)
November 12, 1956 – June 5, 2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Barb Herbert on Thursday, June 5, 2025, in the backyard of her Sylvan Lake home—her sanctuary and her pride and joy.

The Edmonton Oilers are back at home for the weekend with the Stanley Cup final tied at two wins apiece.

Leon Draisaitl scored the winner in overtime giving Edmonton the 5-4 victory. Game 5 is tomorrow night.

Another entertaining night at Ross Wells Park in Moose Jaw. The Okotoks Dawgs outscored the Miller Express 11-9 in WCBL action. Moose Jaw's on the road tonight to play in Swift Current where the 57's lost to Medicine Hat last night 17-8. Also, last night, the Weyburn Beavers beat Regina 7-4.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious and severe disease that affects cattle, sheep, swine, and other cloven-hoofed animals making it hard for them to eat and walk, leaving them weak and sick.

The FMD vaccine bank builds on existing protections for the livestock industry and equips producers with another tool to control and eliminate the disease should an outbreak occur.

Budget 2023 committed $57.5 million over five years, with $5.6 million ongoing, to the CFIA to establish the FMD vaccine bank and response plans.

With smoky conditions over the past week in Moose Jaw, residents are being reminded of the health risks associated with poor air quality. 

Medical health officer Dr. Hortense Tabien recommended that, if it is smoky, residents should avoid going outside as much as possible and keep all doors and windows closed while indoors. 

If going outside is necessary, Tabien said it’s important to plan ahead. 

A change of command ceremony was held Thursday at 15 Wing Moose Jaw as Brig.-Gen. Daniel Coutts passed the torch to Col. Adam Carlson, who becomes the 30th commanding officer of the Canadian Forces base. 

Carlson recently completed a year at the Air War College in Montgomery, Ala., where he earned a master’s degree in strategic studies. Prior to that, he served as director of air force training at 2 Canadian Air Division in Winnipeg. 

Seeding operations are winding down in Saskatchewan with nearly all producers reporting that the 2025 crop is in the ground.

Just in time for the seeding wrap-up, some much-needed rain fell over past week, alleviating concerns about declining topsoil moisture that have been echoed across the province recently. The southeast and east-central regions saw the largest amount of precipitation, with the Calder area reporting the most in the province at 36 millimetres (mm), followed closely by the Stockholm area at 35 mm, and Rocanville at 34mm.

Two years ago, more than 120,000 federal public servants went on strike after negotiations broke down.

Now, the union representing those workers is going back to the bargaining table with the government with the goal of securing greater job security and remote work options for its members.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada says next week's initial meetings offer its first opportunity to present priorities identified by members, such as better wages, greater job security and stronger provisions for remote work.

This year's wildfire season in Canada is shaping up to be the second-worst on record and federal officials are warning of a dangerous summer in parts of British Columbia.

Officials with several government departments held a technical briefing Thursday in Ottawa with an update on the state of multiple wildfires and its forecast for the coming months.
