Millions of us will be celebrating our dads this weekend - Father's Day is Sunday!

What will you get for dad?

A recent Canadian consumer survey found the most popular purchases for dad are food and barbecue supplies along with special dinners and treats. Gift cards, apparel and tools are also in the top five.

It's interesting to note, 33% of shoppers plan on getting dad something from the grocery store, 38% will shop at other stores with 39% saying they've ordered something online.

Rob Carnie - Infrastructure Renewal update and capital projects. Man, there's a lot of stuff going on around the city of Moose Jaw. We're making it happen and making things better. Frankly, we've said it before, short term pain for long term gain, things are getting better. 

Maryse Carmichael - It is good to see all the construction crews out there. It's great to see that we're already in Phase 10 of the Infrastructure Renewal Program and the (Cast Iron Replacement Program).  

Rob Carnie - Let's talk about the storm water utility bylaw that will be considered for a third reading on June 23rd. The way I understand it, that will be in addition to what we're paying the City of Moose Jaw, correct? 

Maryse Carmichael - That's correct. So, this is going to council on June 23rd for the three readings of the new bylaw. During a council meeting on the 9th of June, council looked at the draft bylaw for this new stormwater utility.  

Rob Carnie - It's Take Five with Carnie and Carmichael, featuring City Manager Maryse Carmichael. With all the latest from Moose Jaw City Hall, and the latest, city manager, is property tax notices/reassessment tie in.
