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.

That’s why our government is committed to making strategic investments that help our economy to continue to grow.

“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!

2022 Spartan Dig Tournament All Star, 2023-24 Provincial Grad All Star, and Varsity Volleyball player at Linden Christian School, student Tomas Buhler is carving out his place in the athletic world.

Tomas has been playing volleyball since he was 12, attributing his success to raw family talent.

“A lot of people in my family have played,” he says. “My mom and my older sister played, so I’ve always been interested in the sport from a young age.”

In light of his success, though, Tomas has had to remind himself that he does it all for the Glory of God.
