It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

I was still in high school in 1983 when I learned one of my favourite bands was on the road for a reunion tour. I was only 10 years old when they broke up so I had never seen them perform live.

The Guess Who was together again and one of their shows was at the Centre of the Arts in Regina.

The Moose Jaw & District Food Bank, in partnership with the Moose Jaw Co-op, is about to launch a new "food provision model" that will offer a more "dignified and personalized experience" for local families in need of assistance.

Jason Moore, Executive Director at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank and Geoff Anderson, CEO at the Moose Jaw Co-op, came in for a visit to tell us all about "The Harvest Pantry".
