MooseJaw

Carnie's Comments

Thousands of Saskatchewan people remain displaced. They are wildfire evacuees. They are elderly people who need care. They are young mothers and fathers with children and pets. They are our friends and family. They are people who need our help.

This is the Saskatchewan Day of Caring.  We are asking for your donation to help these people by providing shelter, food, necessities and hope for the future.

The funds raised today go to the Canadian Red Cross. In turn, they will assist those impacted by the wildfires with immediate and ongoing support. 

U.S. president Trump has attacked the sustainability movement, but a major pulse player urges investors to stick with the industry

A Canadian food industry executive is telling pulse companies to stick with their sustainability messaging despite attempts by powerful people to undermine the movement.

Murad Al-Katib, president of AGT Food and Ingredients, said U.S. president Donald Trump has been very vocal about his disdain for the green movement.

Local baseball fans were treated to a wild one at Ross Wells Park last night.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express beat the Okotoks Dawgs 12-11 in an extra inning.

Evan Deringer came up clutch. His single in the bottom of the 10th drove home the winning run. William Edwards went 5 for 6 at the plate with 2 RBI.

The same two teams go at it again tonight at Ross Wells.

In other WCBL action, Swift Current beat the Regina Red Sox 9-4 and Saskatoon Berries shaded Medicine Hat 5-4.

According to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), the wildfire situation in northern Saskatchewan is improving as evacuees from several communities prepare to head back home. 

As of Wednesday afternoon, there were 23 active wildfires and 258 fires year-to-date — well above the five-year average of 147. 

One of southern Saskatchewan’s biggest summer highlights is this weekend, Saturday the 14th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the village of Mortlach — it’s the 2025 Mortlach Saskatoon Berry Festival, famous for its pies and just as well-known for the music, vendors, parade, and a lot more. 

“So, this is the 16th annual Saskatoon Berry Festival,” explained Kimberley Dreger, a community librarian and a member of the organizing committee.  

A Father’s Day tradition for over three decades, the Walleye Classic returns for its 35th year this Saturday, June 14, for an event full of fishing, food, live entertainment, and more. It’s just a few short days away—and it isn’t too late to sign up.

“They can go to www.riverhurstwalleye.ca and register online. All the payment information and everything is right on the website, and it's $260 to enter for a team,” said Chairman of the Walleye Classic Committee, Cameron Durfey.

Protests during the upcoming G7 leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alta., may be starkly different than demonstrations happening this week against immigration crackdowns in the United States.

A University of Toronto research group that has been monitoring the meetings of world leaders since 1998 says its analysis shows Canadian protests are more peaceful and smaller.

But similar to the recent demonstrations in Los Angeles, they're likely to be against the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Updated story 11 a.m.

Financial support for the Canadian Red Cross and wildfire evacuees in Saskatchewan is pouring in.

By 9:50 a.m., $86,880.20 has been donated during the Saskatchewan Day of Caring radiothon. That mark includes a $25,000 donation from Saskatoon Co-op.

Nutrien Ag has pledged to match up to $100,000 in donations - this hasn't been included in the 9:50 a.m. total update. The federal government's matching donation for the final total isn't included in the $86,880.20 raised either.
