Take 5 - SAMA, assessments and taxation
Rob Carnie - Anything else you'd like to add today?
Maryse Carmichael - Well, one thing I'd like to mention perhaps is on taxation assessments, there're a lot of questions these days about that.
We will spend a little bit more time in one of our future episodes on this. But the one important point that I want to make is, yes, Council did make the decision to go ahead for the next agreement for assessment services with SAMA.

Take 5 - Household Hazardous Waste Day reminder
Rob Carnie - One more thing, we should mention household hazardous waste day is coming up Saturday, September 6. It's a program that more and more people have been taking advantage of over the course of the past few years, and that's a good thing.
Take 5 - Summer is winding down
Rob Carnie - It seems like yesterday we were looking forward to the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool opening. Now we're talking about a closing at the end of August. So summer is winding down and we still got a couple of weeks to enjoy.
Take 5 - Downtown Moose Jaw shining for Shriners
Rob Carnie - We're getting downtown looking sharp for the Midwest Shrine Association, MSA 2025. August 20 through the 23rd there are hundreds and hundreds of Shriners and their partners and their families from a big area of North America coming to Moose Jaw to celebrate being Shriners with a lot of public events all ready to go.
Take 5 - Construction season progress
Rob Carnie - Summer construction. Wow. The City of Moose Jaw just sent out a news release that everybody can access at Moosejaw.ca.
The city provides summer construction update on most impressive list of work that has been done and most noticeable around the city of Moose Jaw is some great work on our roads, some great patching work on manholes being repaired, crosswalks being painted. The city is looking pretty good.
Take 5 - Landfill update, City considering three locations
Rob Carnie - We continue to look for a spot for the landfill. We know our long time landfill is reaching the end of its life. We got to get out of there and we've got to find a new location and nobody seems to want the landfill in their neighborhood, which is, I suppose, understandable.
But something's going to happen soon. Can you expand on that?
