Smart Water Meter Project

Rob

One more thing that we want to talk about today and is the city of Moose Jaw’s Smart Water Meter Project. I've had my water meter replaced. It wasn't that big a deal, had to make an appointment, then he found there wasn't enough room for it. And we made room for it and got it done. But it's a project, is it complete now?

Introduction

This is Take Five with Carnie and Carmichael, a brand new segment on Discover Moose Jaw featuring Moose Jaw city manager Maryse Carmichael.

The goal is to keep Moose Jaw residents up to date on the issues and the challenges and some of the great things happening in the city of Moose Jaw, with a focus on Moose Jaw City Hall, and the business they do that impacts all of us.

Can you think of a memory from your childhood that makes you smile as you remember it? I have a few, but one that I clearly remember is walking home from elementary school with my brother. We felt tired, not physically, but emotionally and mentally drained after a day at school. We were blessed to have a mom who was always there when we came home, asking how our day went. This was a safe warm place for us. The best though was when we came home and mom had just finished baking buns.

18 months and still growing!

Pharmasave is now looking to hire a full-time or part-time Pharmacist and a full-time Pharmacy Assistant. Owner Scott Penner says that Pharmasave in Steinbach opened in September 2022, and currently employs less than a half-dozen employees. Business has been booming for 18 months now, which means the staff has to grow to keep up.

“I wanted to bring my love of spin to Portage!”

This from Maxine Carels, owner of The Studio on Sask – an indoor cycling studio celebrating their Open House from 10am-2pm on both February 10th and 11th at their new location, 1760 Saskatchewan Avenue.

As a midfielder, Mosi Williams is accustomed to helping his teammates advance the ball and create goalscoring chances. He knows what it’s like to provide an assist, and he also acknowledges the assistance he’s received over the years as a promising soccer player.

Foremost among his positive influences has been his dad.

“He just kind of encourages me to play,” says Williams. “Soccer is his favourite sport, so it just sort of became mine, too.”

A new survey is seeking out experiences on the farm. Available now, Homefield People & Strategy is conducting a research project that will help them learn about various experiences in the agricultural industry.

The about 5-minute-long survey begins with a chance for the farmer to introduce their situation, before going into more specific on-the-farm questions such as what crops you grow, how much land you farm, and the term that best describes your agricultural operation.

What had been halved in years past is now returning to its full potential! The 37th Annual Brokenhead River Agricultural Conference is coming February 6th and 7th, once again planned as a two-day event!

Terry Buss, crop production extension specialist with Manitoba Agriculture who partners with the Brokenhead Agricultural Society, shares that this event has been running since 1986.

Buss is pleased at the return of the two-day length, putting particular emphasis on the chance to focus on separate topics each day.
