This has been an extremely busy week in this Friendly City with lots going on in town. We at the Moose Jaw Express have no lack of things to cover.
Of note, hope you have your tickets for the upcoming Chamber of Commerce MJBEX Awards event on Wednesday evening, April 24th to support your fellow Moose Javians in their endeavours. This is a special event to celebrate all of the people and their great businesses that make this city what it is.
It’s also great to see a new store - Tunnel Vision Optical opened a new dispensary store on 1st Avenue NW for contacts and glasses that adds to the selection already available here in Moose Jaw by other optical stores.
The Coroner’s Inquest held last week in Moose Jaw pinpointed a few problems in our police services around the province and made recommendations to be implemented that should help to better police service to the communities in our region and beyond. Although mistakes were made, and although these mistakes needed to be accountable, it’s not necessary to point fingers as an inquest is designed to come up with solutions to certain issues that have arisen rather than lay blame. We need to be thankful that we have police to assist in our communities’ policing, otherwise with a transient society, renegade lawlessness and lack of respect for anyone or anything by some, poverty and other determining factors, things would be much worse here in Moose Jaw and elsewhere.
