Community

The Estevan Community Wellness Group is expanding its efforts to foster connection and mental wellness through a series of events and initiatives, including monthly game nights, a second annual dinner, and a new welcome package for newcomers. Co-chairs Shelly Veroba and Heidi Hesselink joined the SUN 102 Morning show to share all the details.

Check out the full interview below.

This weekend, the Little Manitou Art Gallery is set to host an inspiring celebration of literary and musical creativity with the Wonder of Words Festival, a full-day event showcasing the talents of poets, writers, and storytellers from across Saskatchewan. 

Rob Carnie - Summer construction. Wow. The City of Moose Jaw just sent out a news release that everybody can access at Moosejaw.ca.  

The city provides summer construction update on most impressive list of work that has been done and most noticeable around the city of Moose Jaw is some great work on our roads, some great patching work on manholes being repaired, crosswalks being painted. The city is looking pretty good. 

Chalk Art Day is back in Humboldt on Friday, August 22, during StreetFest.

Two talented local artists are taking over the street between the Museum and Gallery from 4pm to 7pm on the Friday of StreetFest. Dylan Burton and Anthony Ross will be creating their own unique pieces of chalk art on the street.

We need everyone’s help to create a beautiful border around their pieces! Drop by between 4pm and 7pm and colour in part of the frame. All chalk is provided!

Carnie's Comments

It was late last Saturday night. I was well-rested and feeling energetic. Then, I remembered, I had been invited to a party in my neighbourhood. I don't go to too many shindigs anymore but I went to that one and stayed out very late.

Back at home, at 2:30am, I was still kind of edgy and then I realized, the moon was full. That explained it for me.

Are our emotions, in fact, heightened during a full moon? I believe they are but, some think it's just folklore.

On Sunday, DiscoverAirdrie put out the call to Airdronians to support and promote the city’s young athletes competing in the national Youth Athlete of the Year contest.

In the contest, the athletes need people to vote for them to advance to the next round. If an Airdronian were to win, they would appear in a 3BRAND advertisement in Sports Illustrated and win $25,000.

Here is a list of athletes who have reached out to DiscoverAirdrie since then:

Rob Carnie - We continue to look for a spot for the landfill. We know our long time landfill is reaching the end of its life. We got to get out of there and we've got to find a new location and nobody seems to want the landfill in their neighborhood, which is, I suppose, understandable.  

But something's going to happen soon. Can you expand on that? 

Rob Carnie - Time for Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael, featuring Moose Jaw city manager Maurice Carmichael. City manager, let's start with the SAMA contract. It has been renewed; SAMA standing for the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency. 

The McCafé Coffee Break is feeling great after a visit to Soulstice Wellness Centre this week!

The CochraneNow crew dropped in with hot McCafé coffee and tasty treats from Cochrane McDonald’s to fuel up the hardworking team.

Soulstice Wellness Centre was nominated here and it was these kind words that brought in the win.

On Thursday, August 14th, DiscoverWeyburn, Magic 103, Country 106.7, and AM1190 will be teaming up with the City of Weyburn and our amazing sponsor partners for the Great Plains Taste of Summer Charity BBQ.  

This week, the proceeds of the event will be going to the Weyburn Humane Society. The Humane Society operates the only animal shelter in Weyburn, which helps with stray animals and offers adoptions. However, they are a non-profit organization and receive no funds from the provincial or federal levels.
