Carla Beck, leader of the Official Opposition Saskatchewan NDP, visited Moose Jaw on Thursday to criticize Premier Scott Moe and his Saskatchewan Party for delaying the start of the spring sitting of the Legislature, attempting to play too nice with Trump’s administration, and ignoring their obligation to communicate openly with their constituents. 

A group of men from Moose Jaw will try to walk a cumulative one MILLION miles this Friday night — and into Saturday morning, March 8 — to raise money for the Moose Jaw Transition House in honour of International Women’s Day, in a fundraising effort they are calling ‘Step Up for Her.’ 

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is back in Washinton, D.C. from February 24 to 27, accompanied by leadership from several Saskatchewan businesses and organizations — The delegation will attempt to emphasize the importance of a strong, integrated economy to U.S. decision makers and business leaders.

The Holy Trinity Catholic School Division (HTCSD) in Moose Jaw raised $4,875.80 for the national Toonies for Tuition program, which helps families who want a Catholic education for their children in provinces or territories with limited or no public funding for Catholic school systems. 

“So, Toonies for Tuition was something that was created back in 2006 by the Canadian Catholic Schools Trustees Association,” explained Ward Strueby, director of education at HTCSD. 

Rob Carney - A reminder to our community and businesses, the continued flow of major events coming to Moose Jaw. We've got so much going on in 2025. I know we've got hundreds of Shriners coming to town. 

Maryse Carmichael – We do! 

Rob Carney - Of course, we know our taxes are going up. Property taxpayers will be paying more in 2025. As a follow-up, let's talk about the landfill. We still don't know where the new one is going to be. But we do have changes at the current landfill, and recycling operations are going to be impacted. The landfill is full. 

Rob Carney - Let's talk about the City of Moose Jaw Strategic Plan and its development. 

Maryse Carmichael – So, we have a really different opportunity this year. We have a brand-new council that started in November.  

Rob Carney - One more thing to talk about before I let you go, and that's eBilling. We talked about it on the previous edition of Take 5.  

Tell us how many have signed up, and I suppose you want to encourage others to join. 

Maryse Carmichael - Absolutely. We want to encourage people to join the eBilling.  

Rob Carney - I've been wondering about photo radar in Moose Jaw, City Manager.  

It appears that the camera that was on Grace Street adjacent to Palliser Heights School has been removed, and at last glance the camera on Caribou West and William Grayson School is still there last I went by, but it appeared to be in rough shape.  

Rob Carney - It's an all new edition of Take 5 with Carney and Carmichael featuring Moose Jaw City manager Maurice Carmichael!  

Maurice let's start with the snowfall. We've had lots of it, as a matter of fact, we're running out of places to put the snow here in Moose Jaw, and I'm wondering about the snow removal budget, and I'm sure a number of others are as well.
