Rob Carnie - Infrastructure Renewal update and capital projects. Man, there's a lot of stuff going on around the city of Moose Jaw. We're making it happen and making things better. Frankly, we've said it before, short term pain for long term gain, things are getting better. 

Maryse Carmichael - It is good to see all the construction crews out there. It's great to see that we're already in Phase 10 of the Infrastructure Renewal Program and the (Cast Iron Replacement Program).  

Rob Carnie - Let's talk about the storm water utility bylaw that will be considered for a third reading on June 23rd. The way I understand it, that will be in addition to what we're paying the City of Moose Jaw, correct? 

Maryse Carmichael - That's correct. So, this is going to council on June 23rd for the three readings of the new bylaw. During a council meeting on the 9th of June, council looked at the draft bylaw for this new stormwater utility.

A tradition since 1884

For over 140 years, the Moose Jaw Fair has been a cornerstone of the city’s summer calendar. From humble beginnings – featuring dill pickle contests and livestock races up Main Street – the fair has evolved into a vibrant, family-friendly event that continues to honour its roots while embracing new energy and attractions.

Greenhouse Reopens with a New Location and a Renewed Sense of Purpose

Nestled just 15 minutes south of Moose Jaw, Just a Girl in Her Garden has reopened its greenhouse this season – something that wasn’t always a given. After the sudden passing of her brother in March, owner Jacqueline Williams had initially planned to pause operations this year. But a surprise delivery of 250 plants changed everything.

Rob Carnie - Summer will soon be here city manager Carmichael, the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool is slated to open when? 

Maryse Carmichael - The Phyllis Dewar Outdoor pool will be open June 16, what an exciting time of the year. I see so many kids throughout the summer having such a great time at our outdoor pools, so it (the opening) is coming up June 16.  

Rob Carnie - Public Works Week coming up next week, tell us about that. 

Maryse Carmichael - Our residents see our public works crews all year long. Whether they're cleaning, removing the snow off your street, or they're working on the sewers, our workers are in the city all year long and now it's a chance to go and visit their office.  

Rob Carnie - Community cleanup, it was a success. 

Maryse Carmichael - It was a success! We had 167 people show up for the cleanup and we collected 1.2 tonnes of waste. So, it makes a big difference.  

We will have another community cleanup in September between now and then. I encourage everyone to keep our city looking as beautiful as we can, and let's put the garbage in the trash, not on ground. 

Rob Carnie - Construction. We are up and running. The Cast Iron Water Main Replacement is underway in downtown Moose Jaw and on 4th Ave. SW on South Hill.  

How are you getting to working back? It's very difficult downtown these days. 

Maryse Carmichael - It is difficult, but it's for good a good reason.  

Rob Carnie - It's a brand-new edition of Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael, featuring Moose Jaw city manager Maryse Carmichael.  

The zoning bylaw amendment that is tied to federal funding has been passed. A lot of Moose Jaw residents were quite outspoken on social media; they had a lot of questions about this amendment that will allow fourplexes to be built in certain neighborhoods, then they learned it's all tied to federal funding.
