It’s been a long, looooong time, and Portage Toyota & RV simply isn’t the spry young dealership it used to be. Open for business since 1973, they’ve seen automotive trends and challenges come and go, and to be honest… it’s time for a facelift.

Today, their team is gearing up to respond to the most recent change- the higher demand for hybrid vehicle services.

Rob: Ah construction, the last time we got together for take five, we touched on this. The infrastructure renewal program, which includes water main replacement, the schedule is being finalized right now, and details on the first location set for water main replacement will be announced very soon. 

Maryse: It will be announced, and I want to talk about it, mainly because there is some significant areas in town, busier areas, that are on their list for this year.  

Rob: Let's talk about one thing that has been a conversation, a topic of conversation on the MJ Talks Facebook page. One of the topics of conversation, the removal of the no left turn signs at the intersection, the busy intersection, of Fairford and Main downtown. For as long as I can remember there was no left turn on Fairford Street going on to Main Street. When you're heading East or West, you had to go straight through the intersection. Those signs are now down.

Rob: Hey, let's talk about the spring cleanup. The community clean-up day coming up on Sunday, May 5th. And of course, you want all citizens to participate. 

Rob: It's Take Five, another edition of Take Five, featuring Moose Jaws’ City Manager Maryse Carmichael on Discover Moose Jaw dot com and we're going to start off with aviation, which is right up your alley. Of course, aviation has a significant place in Moose Jaw’s history and our future, the Royal Canadian Air Force commemorating the anniversary of 100 years just recently, and the committee will have other celebrations planned throughout the year.

“It’s a wonderful community to be in, and I think we have a great offering for customers. We’re a full-service optical retailer, with a nice mix of brands and styles. We’ve got something for everyone in the family.”

Anyone who’s been in town in the last few months will have noticed the construction that happened on First Avenue NW in Moose Jaw, what is now the new location of Tunnel Vision Optical!

What could be better than the grand opening of a lumber and building supply centre, timed perfectly for the start of the spring building season?
