MOOSE JAW — In the last edition of the Moose Jaw Express, a story was published announcing the upcoming open mic night hosted by Journey to Hope Moose Jaw scheduled for Feb. 13. Since the time of publication, however, this event has been delayed with extreme cold weather stated as the reason.
“Thirty-below weather (has been) predicted, and (some) students are from out of town, so we just thought we need to put it at a time that’s… more accessible for people,” said Della Ferguson, chairperson for Journey to Hope and a liaison to the organization’s youth chapter.
“We don’t want to have people feeling bad they can’t come out, or coming out when it’s so ugly out,” she added. The goal is to “give it the best opportunity for success.”
If you just heard about the event or were otherwise unable to make it on the original date, there’s still an opportunity to attend. The open mic night will still go ahead, Ferguson confirmed — just at a time when weather conditions have improved considerably.
Journey to Hope’s open mic night is an annual program where youth are welcome to share their personal experiences on the themes of hope, healing, and honouring through a three- to five-minute, family-friendly presentation.

A further announcement will be made when a new time and date have been confirmed. The event is still expected to be held at The Hive, located at 23 Main Street North.
