September 10 marks World Suicide Prevention Day, and to commemorate the occasion, Peer Connections Manitoba is inviting people to mark themselves with a very special tattooed symbol. The mental health support program is partnering with Living Canvas Tattoo to offer the now-famous semicolon tattoo for a minimum donation of $20. 

We're back for our third delivery in the 2025 Meal in the Field!

Tuesday took us just northwest of Kindersley where we found Curtis Kornelson and his crew working hard on their harvest. It was a beautiful evening to enjoy some hot Panago Pizza and rummage through the sponsors prizes.

We're doing deliveries every Tuesday and Thursday this month, with five more to go!

Carnie's Comments

He's in his hometown of Edmonton this week for a two-day session with his Liberal caucus in anticipation of the fall sitting of Parliament.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his colleagues will focus on the upcoming federal budget, launching some major industrial projects and address the economic challenges we're all facing.

And, if he's seen the latest polls, the Prime Minister will be walking with some extra jump in his step.

Rob Carnie - Anything else you'd like to add today? 

Maryse Carmichael - Well, one thing I'd like to mention perhaps is on taxation assessments, there're a lot of questions these days about that.  

We will spend a little bit more time in one of our future episodes on this. But the one important point that I want to make is, yes, Council did make the decision to go ahead for the next agreement for assessment services with SAMA. 

Rob Carnie - This ties right in the city of Moosejaw just releasing ‘Prioritizing Our Future’— a survey for Moose Jaw people. 

Maryse Carmichael - Every year, at this time of the year, as we prepare for budget season at City Hall — which will take place in in December — we survey all our residents, and we send this survey out. 

Rob Carnie - It's time for Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael! Featuring, of course, Moose Jaw city manager Maurice Carmichael.  

Today we are focusing on the City of Moose Jaw and the City of Moose Jaw Strategic Plan for 2026 through 2029.  

City manager Carmichael, the plan is built around five core pillars starting with Resident Centric Community, can you expand on that?
