City Supports Minor Hockey’s Push To Make Moose Jaw Kraft Hockeyville

The City of Moose Jaw is excited to support Moose Jaw Minor Hockey’s push to make Moose Jaw the winner of Kraft Hockeyville. The annual competition gives one Canadian community the chance at hosting a National Hockey League (NHL) game, plus $250,000 worth of arena improvements. The Pla-Mor Palace houses both the Wally Boschuk Arena (built in 1967) and Bert Hunt Arena (built in 1989) and would be the beneficiary should Moose Jaw come out victorious. Among the potential upgrades if Moose Jaw were to win: Accessibility enhancements to the ice surface, washrooms and parking lot (walkways and ramps). Additional dressing room space to accommodate all users. Referee room improvements. Glass and board replacement. Safety enhancements to players’ benches. Improved spectator areas and heating. Roofing, mechanical and flooring replacements. “From One Horse Town, to Hometown Hockey, to Mac The Moose, Moose Javians know how to rally around a cause,” exclaimed Mayor Fraser Tolmie. “I know we can be Kraft Hockeyville in 2020, and I ask everyone to visit the Pla-Mor Palace Community Rally page on the Hockeyville website to show their support.” The first step is to secure a spot in the Top 4 – visit this link to add your support: https://www.krafthockeyville.ca/community/plamorpalaceberthunt?phase=entry#/community/plamorpalaceberthunt

Remuneration Review For Elected Officials To Include Public Consultation

The City of Moose Jaw is undertaking a review of the Remuneration Bylaw affecting elected officials and is asking for public input. In 2019, City Council approved a motion to appoint a three-member panel to review the compensation (salary and benefits) received by City of Moose Jaw elected officials (Mayor and City Council members). The panel consists of Greg McIntyre (Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce), Brenda Berry (Moose Jaw & District Labour Council) and City of Moose Jaw Clerk/Solicitor Myron Gulka-Tiechko. As part of the review, the City has created a public survey asking for feedback. The survey provides background on the subject and details on how Moose Jaw compares to other smaller cities in Saskatchewan as it pertains to remuneration. The survey will be active through January 28, 2020 and can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CityMJRemunerationSurvey. In addition to the survey, Moose Jaw residents are invited to have their feelings on the subject known at a special meeting of the review panel on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Scoop Lewry Room, 2nd Floor of City Hall.

The City of Moose Jaw advises that the traffic signal light upgrade project at 9th Ave SW and Lillooet St W. will resume Monday, January 13, 2020. In October of 2019, new wiring and traffic signals were installed at the intersection.
