Note
Thank you for picking up the current 2015 copy of the Moose Jaw
Magazine. We welcome you to explore and discover Moose Jaw and
surrounding area.
A life lesson worth learning is to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, like making the
best of a situation whether you are a resident of Moose
Jaw or visiting the Friendly City. For every community
and region, there are unique and diverse experiences to
savour. If you are a visitor, we encourage you to seize
the day and see and do as much as you can; you may
never pass this way again. For those that live within the
city and region, take time to get to know what there is
to see and do. Be a tourist in your own town.
In this issue, we have branched out of the ordinary and
expanded our horizons to capture new and unique stories of interest to reveal a whole new side of Moose Jaw
that you may have never considered. Moose Jaw has a
history and a future, built on the dreams of the pioneers
of the past and even today, on those that have a vision
for a better and more viable way of life tomorrow.
Moose Jaw has made it a mandate to preserve our heritage buildings; we have renowned artists that have invested their time and efforts to retain a piece of the past
in murals that decorate the city, 47 in total; Moose Jaw
has first-class athletes in many different genres of sport,
WHL Warriors, WMBL Miller Express, World class
Powerlifters; we have things to see and do beyond the
ordinary like visiting the Endangered Burrowing Owl
habitat or maybe taking in the annual Festival of Words
where Moose Jaw becomes the mecca for authors and
readers across North America. If you would like to take
in live theatre, Moose Jaw’s RuBarb Productions offers
first-class entertainment. There are historical sites to
explore and art to adore at one of the many art galleries within the region. Maybe golfing is your summer
pleasure…a course for each day of the week and then
some.
Whatever your pleasure, there is an experience to make
memorable! Memories are made when you take something that may seem ordinary and make it extra-ordinary. Oh, the places you’ll go; you may never pass this
way again!

Saskatchewan’s population is growing,

It is gratifying to see the growth of our city

Take a small drive around the City of Moose
Jaw and you can see change happening.
More people are moving to our community
and more people are investing in our City,
building a strong economy and a bright
future.
Tourism continues to be an important sector
to Moose Jaw’s economy and in many cases,
tourism is what first draws people’s attention
to our city. But more and more, we are
seeing resource development in the Moose
Jaw region and a growing commercial sector
is changing the face of Moose Jaw.
Building permits, a gauge of the economy,
had a banner year in 2013. The first nine
months of 2013 saw the value of building
permits up 43 per cent with a rolling average
of $8.8 million a month. With a year-end
total of over $96 million, building permits
were at an all time record in the city’s history.
Our new hospital, currently under
construction, had an impact but there is
considerable activity in both the commercial
and residential areas. Housing development
is active on all sides of the city, a new K+S
Legacy potash mine is in construction
just north of the city and with growing
commercial activity, Moose Jaw has a very
strong economic foundation and bright
prospects for the future.
Increased development and a growing
population means the City needs to be
prepared to provide the infrastructure
support for current and future activity.
With this in mind, City Council has
focused attention on “fixing, building and
developing,” to be ready.
road repair and replacement, largest budget
ever for the replacement of underground
utilities and the largest budget ever for
sidewalk replacement and repair.
While we have challenges, Moose Jaw is
well placed to face what’s before us with
an excellent system of reserve funds, a
relatively low level of debt and a dedicated,
experienced workforce.
What truly makes our city unique, besides
our name, are our residents. Moose Jaw
is a city with all the amenities of a larger
community, yet we have kept that small town
feel. We look out for our neighbours and
each other, we’re interested and involved in
our community and we appreciate the fact
we live in a safe city. Those are things I hope
we will never lose.
Along with the people of Moose Jaw, I extend
to you a sincere and warm welcome.
Moose Jaw is known throughout North
America for its fascinating attractions, vibrant
downtown and rich history.
You will find a wealth of information
respecting Moose Jaw on the city’s website at
www.moosejaw.ca.
Whether you plan to stay for a day or a
lifetime, we’re glad to have you here in The
Friendly City.
Prioritization of existing resources, along
with some additional allocations, meant this

Festival of Words
2015 Author Line-up
night, where several authors read short
excerpts from their work to involve and excite
the crowd. There will be a Sunday Brunch with
discussion panels again, and a Live Wires Trivia
night at Bobby’s Place. Teams compete for
the coveted Trivia Cup, and can bid for guest
authors to join them.
Festival of Words staff and Board members
announce the 2015 program.
This will be the 19th Annual Saskatchewan
Festival of Words; The only multi-day literary
festival in the province takes place in Moose
Jaw.
Executive Director Donna Lee Howes is
celebrating the roots of this highly regarded
festival. In 1996, a group of volunteers adopted
author Gary Hyland’s vision of a literary festival
and created the first festival in Moose Jaw.
The small-town setting has proven to be a
major asset. You can walk to all the venues. The
authors stay for the full festival and generally
speak three different times. They can also sit in
on each other’s sessions. “They really like being
invited here, and even their agents save a place
for our festival in their planning,” says Howes.
Authors aren’t segregated here; they mingle
with the participants, who are their readers,
and with one another. With the many
volunteers, an engaging and inspiring few days
is provided for all who attend.
Festival of Words is an all-ages literary
extravaganza, that takes place the third
weekend of July. This year it takes place
from July 16-19. The venues are the Library,
the Museum Theatre, Mosaic Place, and the
Cultural Centre. All the presenters are Canadian
authors, many of whom are internationally
famous. There will be Story Time for little ones,
Teen writing workshops, Spoken Word events,
Author sessions, the Great Big Book Club
(featuring Sean Michaels), sessions on how to
edit and pitch your work, and a feature film.
This Festival, will again feature dramatic
readings from play scripts, with live actors.
There will also be a Readception on opening
The line-up balances gender and sexual
orientation, as well as ethnic and cultural
orientation. There is a variety of genres
(science, mystery, poetry, gardening), as well
as many award winners. Mark Medley of
the Globe and Mail Books section is back for
another year as moderator.”
Fiction authors coming this summer are Lisa
Bird-Wilson, Terry Fallis, Steven Heighton, Kim
McCullough, Sean Michaels, Audrey Thomas
and Guy Vanderhaeghe. Mystery writer Deryn
Collier and suspense writer Andrew Pyper are
on board. Non-fiction writers being featured
are James Daschuk, Lyndon Penner, and
Chris Turner. Young Adult authors are Kevin
Sylvester, and Susin Nielson. Poets are Jane
Byers, Gary Geddes, and Moose Jaw’s own
Greg Simison.
The feature film, My
Old Lady, stars Maggie
Smith, Kevin Kline, and
Kirsten Scott Thomas. The
concert headliner will be
announced shortly.
You can order advance
books through Nelson
Reid at Post Horizon
Booksellers again this
year.
Award winning
author Sean
Michaels is a FoW
headliner, and
Great Big Book
Club presenter.
Early bird passes to attend
the 2015 FoW are $175,
available until the end of May. You can register
online. Information and updates are available
on the Saskatchewan Festival of Words website.
You can attend the entire weekend, or plan for
a smaller group of sessions and events. In any
case, you won’t want to miss this bright light of
the Saskatchewan summer.

Thanks to the Burrowing Owl Interpretive
Centre, many Moose Javians and visitors can
become familiar with the burrowing owl.
There are some basic details that one should
know regarding burrowing owls. Burrowing
owls eat insects and mice and make their
nests in underground burrows that are often
previously occupied by ground
squirrels, prairie dogs, or
badgers.
Unfortunately,
burrowing owls are an
endangered species
in Canada. It is noted
that their numbers
declined over 95%
in the 1990s.
According
to
Dr.
Hobroyd,
a
former
burrowing
owl researcher with
Environment Canada,
the reason burrowing owls
are disappearing is a lack of
food. Burrowing owls typically lay up to
nine eggs but usually only one or two chicks
survive.
The young starve in the burrow. The eggs
hatch and the female has to keep them warm.
She feeds the young. The male’s job is to go
out and get food and bring it back, but he can’t
find enough food to feed all those young,” said
Hobroyd. “We have changed the ecology
of the prairies so much. There are no longer
outbreaks of mice and moles, we don’t get
grasshopper plagues, we don’t have herds of
bison putting down dung so the dung beetles
explode, and we don’t get cricket cycles. We
have dampened or destroyed all those kinds
of cycles the occurred on the prairies. By
laying nine eggs, a burrowing owl is expecting
a super abundant food supply and that is
simply not happening.”
While burrowing owls are disappearing in
Canada, they are still found in the United
States, possibly determined because after
nesting in Canada in the summer, they head to
the southern states and remain there.
Education is vital to ensuring that burrowing
owls survive and the Burrowing Owl
Interpretive Centre is an important
piece of the conservation effort.
The Moose Jaw facility
introduces
burrowing
owls to thousands of
people each year, and
not just tourists pulled
off the highway
and residents, but
many
generations
of school children
have gone through
there, too. It is a great
educational tool.
For more information
on burrowing owls, visit
www.skburrowingowl.ca; the
Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl
Interpretive Centre (SBOIC) is currently
located at 250 Thatcher Drive E in Moose Jaw
but will be moving to their new location inside
the nearly completed 5,000 sq ft space located
in the former diner building on the Exhibition
grounds.
From the May long weekend to the
September long weekend, SBOIC’s focus is
on in-house tours of the facility. Emphasis
is on learning about the prairie ecosystem,
and the conservation of species and habitat.
Bring a whole class or bring your family. the
interpretive staff passes along information
about the Burrowing Owls, prairie habitat, as
well as new research and conservation efforts
being made by biologists and other wildlife
organizations. Large or small groups can be
accommodated. Guided tours are available 7
days a week from 10 am to 4:30 pm.

HERITAGE
';6(<+'#)*'!+66=>/+&+/<+*
Much of Moose Jaw’s downtown core remains
frozen in time, thanks to the city’s many heritage
buildings.
“We have a very proud past, not only in the built
history and the people who drove that creation
and had that vision, but in the stories that came
out of those buildings and the decisions that
were made,” says Brian Bell of Heritage Moose
Jaw. “There is a lot for us to be proud of and
the heritage characteristics of Moose Jaw speak
to that…We have a spectacular collection of
buildings.”
Did you know that a number of Moose Jaw’s
heritage buildings were designed by the same
architect? Richard Bunyard designed many local
buildings in the early 1900s. He was a founding
member of the Saskatchewan Association of
Architects. Some of the buildings he designed
include Central Collegiate, the Grant Hall, and
Prince Arthur School.
The Moose Jaw Public Library is another
cherished heritage building. It celebrated its
100th anniversary in 2013. The Saskatchewan
Legislature, located in Regina, is the only building
with more marble. City Hall is another notable
building and its clock tower, known as “Big Cliff,”
celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2014.
The Grant Hall has been meticulously restored
to its former glory. The doors were re-opened
in 2013.
The downtown intersection of Fairford and
Main is the only one in Saskatchewan to feature
four heritage properties on each corner. These
buildings include City Hall (formerly the post
office), the Hammond Building, Clothes Encounter
(formerly the Merchant’s Bank of Canada), and the
Bank of Nova Scotia.
Of course, there are many heritage buildings
outside of the city’s downtown area. Fortunately,
the Heritage Advisory Committee launched a
website in late 2013 that lists dozens of current
and former heritage buildings within the city.
Each listing features photos and information on
the buildings.
The list is hosted on the city’s official website. To
visit the site, simply go to www.moosejaw.ca. On
the left-hand side is a column that says “Quick
Links.” There you will find the “Heritage” link. On
the left-hand side a new column will appear with
the names of all of the properties. Use it to create
your our tour of Moose Jaw’s heritage buildings!
City Hall is topped off by its famous tower, “Big
Cliff.”
But the city’s heritage is not just about buildings
— Heritage Moose Jaw will once again be holding
its popular cemetery tours this summer. Every
year the group provides tours of the Moose
Jaw Cemetery, which contains beautiful, ornate
headstones. Many prominent Moose Javians and
early settlers are buried there. Tours will be held
at the on June 27, July 25, and August 29. The
tours will commence at 9:00 a.m. Meet at the 900
block of Caribou St. E. outside the chapel. Special
tours could be arranged for groups of five or more
people. Contact Bell at 306-692-6332 for more
information.

The Mae Wilson Theatre is the location of
hundreds of shows each year including
concerts, musicals, theatre productions, dance
recitals, and film screenings. There is a new
show by a new or emerging visual artist with
connections to Moose Jaw eight times per year
in the Mosaic Gallery.
The Mae Wilson Theatre will be celebrating
its 100th birthday in 2016. On Aug. 18, 1916,
it officially opened as the Allen Theatre, and
it hosted silent film screenings, vaudeville

From the 1940s to 2001, the Capitol was a
popular movie theatre destination.
Upon closing in 2001, the community rallied to
raise money to purchase the theatre and the
surrounding buildings and combine them into
the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre.
In 2004, the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre (MJCC)
opened with an entirely refurbished and

tells old-time life story
Want to see what life
was really like for your
grandparents?
The Sukanen Ship Pioneer
Village Museum takes visitors
back generations to a typical
Canadian Prairie village from
the 1940s. Typical homes –
one-room settlers’ shacks,
ranch house and two-storey
farmhouse – on the 40acre site complement the
railway station, general store,
blacksmith shop, church,
one-room school and other
buildings.
A fire hall completed last year
exhibits early firefighting
gear and fire engines.
More than 300 vintage
cars, trucks and tractors
plus
farm
implements
are on site. Two buildings
house the extensive Bill
Young collection of Case
and International Harvester
tractors and equipment.
Saskatchewan’s only Prime
Minister who actually lived
in the province — John
Diefenbaker – is a key part of
the museum. A replica of the
homestead shack he grew
up in and an uncle’s shack
were moved here.
A 1913 wooden crib grain
elevator –one of the largest
restored in Western Canada
– allows guests a glimpse
of early farming and grain
transport.
And don’t forget the Sukanen
Ship story. Tom Sukanen, a
Finnish settler pined for his
homeland and decided to
build a ship and sail up the
Saskatchewan River system
to Hudson Bay and home to
Finland. He never finished
his ship. Learn about his skills
and determination from the
restored ship hull.
This year, visitors will see
construction.
Pharmacy
equipment and artifacts
donated from a pioneer
Moose Jaw pharmacy will be
put into a replica drug store.
Museum volunteers hold
three major annual events:
Sukanen ship
·
The Spring Fling Car Show
on June 7 is open for vehicles
from 1980 or older.
· The Threshing Bee, Sept. 1213, demonstrates old time

Homesteader Tom McWilliams went to the

the Mossold Canyons. The canyons were the
source of clay dug out of the ground. Wildlife
and lovely native Prairie flowers are in the
area.
Before you leave, be sure to taste the
delicious home-made Saskatoon Berry
pie and ponder on how disappointed the
McWilliams family must have felt to discover
the berry crop was burned out.

Cordova Bistro is located at 361 Main
St. N. in Moose Jaw, on the corner of
Main and Cordova. Shane and Rebecca
Caron bought the restaurant in August
of 2012. Formerly it was owned by Ben
Azouzzi, and Shane benefited from
working with Azouzzi for seven years
before the purchase.
Among the unique aspects of
Cordova Bistro are its “in-house”
features: the steaks are cut in-house
and the sauces are made in-house.
This means that the 8, 10 and 12 ounce
steaks can be overcut and aged longer
to enhance tenderness and flavour.
The sauces are made specifically to
complement the variety of menu
options, and as such they are unique
to the Cordova.
The restaurant can accommodate
close to 100 clients at the same time,
and the ambience is exceptional.
Diners are seated in a spacious
environment on two levels, and
regardless of location there is a sense
of privacy. The somber textures of
the interior decor produce a rich
environment. It is a romantic setting;
“The best kept secret in Moose Jaw”
ideal for a date-night or an anniversary.
Larger tables selectively located provide
opportunities for corporate gatherings
and special occasions for family and
friends.
The restaurant is open Monday
through Thursday from 4:30 to 9pm,
and on Friday and Saturday from 4:30
to 10pm. If you are planning to dine at
the Cordova Bistro, you are advised to
reserve by calling 306-693-7100.

EFGH'-7 Café
Déjà Vu Café in Moose Jaw celebrated national
exposure when it was featured on national television in April of 2013 on the Food Network’s program, You Gotta Eat Here. John Catucci, the host
of the show said that they chose Déjà Vu Café
because their research department found Dèja Vu

chicken wings and strips. “We wanted
to showcase the Café,” said Catucci.
More recently, the café has
been featured on TSN during the Scotties Tournament
of Hearts held in Moose Jaw
this spring (2015); and also
seen on the Prairie Diners,
noting that the premise of the
show features “taste adventures
in unexpected places.” .
Owners Brandon & Tammy Richardson purchased the restaurant in late 2009 and
the business outgrew its old digs a couple years
ago to their now location at 23 High Street East,
right in the heart of downtown.
“We have the Tunnels here, we have the spa, and
now we can say we have a restaurant that has
been featured on national TV. That is good for us
and Moose Jaw,” Brandon said. Hopefully, it will
bring more people here.”

licensed.
Déjà Vu Café is also the

Golf different course
every day of week
If you enjoy hitting little white balls
around green grass in the fresh air, Moose
Jaw and region is the place to visit.
The area boasts nine golf courses, some
of them championship style and others
interesting for the location, as well as the
challenge.
You can play a different
fferent course every day
ff
and still have two left.
Moose Jaw’s Hillcrest Golf course,
oldest in the city at 102 years, features
interesting terrain in rolling hills, coulees
and waterways along the Spring Creek.
Provincial tournaments often play on the
5,662-yard par 72 course.
Lynbrook Golf Course, situated along the
Spring Creek valley, just east of Hillcrest,
features two water obstacles, trees and
rough Prairie grass on its nearly 6,000-yard
par 71 fairways. Developed in the early
1900s, Lynbrook hosts many tournaments.
The city’s third golf course, the Deer Ridge
executive course winds along the Moose
Jaw River Valley over the water and around
the sprawling river flats. The 2,897-yard
par 56 course turned the river area into
a scenic spot.
The Harbour Golf Club and
Resort,
a
championship
course, lies along the huge
Lake Diefenbaker Lake
shoreline, adjacent to a
marina in a bay near Elbow. The well-treed
6,405-yard course with a par 76 lends itself
to a feeling of freedom and fresh air.
Although only nine holes, the Sageview
Golf Course in the Palliser Regional Park
at Riverhurst made the top 10 list for the
Saskatchewan Automobile Association.
Sageview offers
ffers stunning scenery, among
ff
sand dunes and Lake Diefenbaker, with
up to 80 feet elevation change from tee to
green.
A challenging nine-hole course, the Willow
Bunch Golf Course in a coulee near Willow
Bunch where Sitting Bull and his fleeing
tribes once camped, is a favourite for many
golfers in the region.
The Long Creek Golf Course at Avonlea puts
golfers into a hidden spot along Long Creek
coulee in the middle of farm country. The
Long Creek course, 6,524 yards and par 72,
attracts visitors from Regina, the province’s
capital city.
The Thomson Lake Golf Course near
Lafleche, an oasis located in the middle of
Prairies, is nine holes but players often do
18 holes along the trees planted by park
founders.
The 6,012-yard par 72 Coronach Golf Course
wends its way along the Prairie within sight
of the major power plant. The lounge and
pro shop are located in a heritage railway
station. by Ron Walter
Golf
is everywhere in the
prairie province of
Saskatchewan.
The Southern part of Saskatchewan boasts over 90
golf courses, many of which are 9 hole courses, but
plenty of fun for every avid golfer
Rolling landscapes give way to many golf courses
that you will want to tee it up on over and over again.

offers memorable experience
For over 10 years, Prairie Storm Paintball has
been offering paintball players of all ages with
a truly memorable experience.
Business Innovation Award at the 14th Annual
Moose Jaw Business Excellence (MJBEX)
Awards.
Prairie Storm Paintball offers eight different
paintball fields, each based around a different
theme and featuring different buildings,
obstacles and items like deserted vehicles. It is
the largest paintball field in the province and is
home to Saskatchewan’s only indoor paintball
field.
“We have always had a business model that we
would take as much of our profit as possible
and reinvest it back into the business. That is
why when someone drives past on the highway
they always notice something different,” said
Dombowsky, who adds they hope to add a
licensed area in the fall for those who want
to enjoy a cool beer on the deck. “I really like
knowing that we are doing a good job. I like
to hear that people enjoy playing out here and
they enjoy the field. We try to take our weakest
point and make it our strongest point.”
“We try to have a wide variety of fields,” said coowner Stephen Dombowsky. “Most paintballers
enjoy variety and a well maintained field. Each
field has different potential game styles.”
Dombowsky says that on a given week,
hundreds of people will come out to play and
they often host work functions, birthdays, and
even stag parties.
Prairie Storm Paintball is not just about
paintball — they now also host Nerf parties
and Airsoft games, both of which are played
indoors.
They also hold a large annual event each
September in which players recreate the
Juno Beach landing during the Invasion of
Normandy (D-Day). The event draws hundreds
of participants from across the country and it
grows in scope each year.
“I wanted to do something big and special that
no one else does, so I looked for a historical
event that Canadian Forces were very active
in,” said Dombowsky. “I have done my best to
make it as cool as possible. It has just taken on
a life of its own.”
Now is the perfect time to take in a game of
paintball.
“Paintball is such a unique and cool sport… It
is the kind of the thing where if you play it once
you are hooked,” said Dombowsky. It’s the only
sport where everybody can shoot each other
and then walk away together smiling. If you
haven’t tried it you should give it a try because
it is a lot of fun.
Prairie Storm Paintball is located on the No. 1
Highway just minutes outside of Moose Jaw.

The Moose Jaw Health Foundation (MJHF) is a
vital part of our community. Its goal is to improve
the quality of healthcare in the Five Hills Health

throughout the year in support of the MJHF and
they prove to be a great way to have fun and
support a worthy cause at the same time.

For many, July 1 is not just Canada Day in Moose
Jaw but also the date of the annual Moose Jawg
Charity Road Race. The event attracts hundreds of
participants and in 13 years the Moose Jawg has
raised more than $103,000 for the MJHF.
“We would not be able to hold any of these
events without the support of our donors and
the incredible volunteers who organize all of
these events on behalf of the Moose Jaw Health
Foundation,” said MJHF Executive Directory Kelly
McElree. “People are very generous in supporting
us.”

Hundreds of runners participated in last year’s
Moose Jawg. The Moose Jawg brought in $23,000
that was donated to Moose Jaw’s Health Foundation
last year.
On November 21 the MJHF will hold its annual
Festival of Trees event. Each year businesses and
groups decorate beautiful Christmas trees which
are then auctioned off. It is a fun and elegant
night out and the premier event of the year to kick
off the holiday season in Moose Jaw.

Moose Jaw: Major Powerlifting Centre
Ryan Stinn of Moose Jaw at the North American Powerlifting Championships. Stinn will be codirecting the next North American Championships in Moose Jaw in July 2015.
Moose Jaw is known as the Friendly City
but it is also gaining a reputation for
championship calibre powerlifting. Moose
Jaw will host the 2015 NAPF North American
Powerlifting Championships from July 8-11
at the Heritage Inn.
Moose Jaw’s powerlifting club has been
around for a number of years and local
competitors have helped put Moose Jaw
on the map. In fact the husband and wife
duo of Ryan and Rhaea Stinn hold multiple
national records in the sport. That has
certainly helped establish Moose Jaw as a
major powerlifting centre.
Moose Jaw has a rich history of hosting
major powerlifting events. Most recently,
the city hosted the 2011 IPF Sub-Junior and
Junior Powerlifting World Championships;
over 30 countries were represented that
year. It was just the first time the event
was held in Canada. The North American
Powerlifting Championship will be a major
event and bring in the top competitors from
around the continent. Stinn is happy to
bring the competition to Moose Jaw. “It has
been a long time since it has been in Canada
and we wanted to bring it back.”
Stinn says it will be a great competition
featuring some of the best athletes in the
sport.
There is definitely depth to the competition.
Being the host country, there are
approximately 60 athletes expected to come
from across Canada. Stinn says the word is
that the US is planning to bring their entire
sub-junior and junior world teams that
will be going to the Czech Republic later
this year; a tune-up competition for their
younger competitors.”
Of course, the event will also feature a
greater range of competitors.
The
North
American
Powerlifting
Championship is expected to be a
great event as it is for all age categories.
“Competitors from as young as 14 or 15 will
be attending, all the way up to a guy from
Saskatchewan who is about 75,” says Stinn.
“He’ll be chasing a world record bench press.
It is going to be a good competition.”
Be sure to catch all the action. Tickets will be
sold at the door for just $5 a day. Visit www.
powerlifting.ca for more information.

WHL WARRIORS
call Moose Jaw home
You can catch the NHL stars of tomorrow by taking
in a Moose Jaw Warriors game at Mosaic Place.
The Warriors play in the Western Hockey League
(WHL), which features 22 major junior teams from
across Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, British
Columbia and the U.S. Players range in age from
15-20.
The league is part of the Canadian Hockey League,
which also includes the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey
League (OHL). Every year, the WHL, OHL, and
QMJHL champions face each other and a host
team in a four-team tournament for the Memorial
Cup Championship, which is the highest honour in
Canadian junior hockey. Many of the top players in
the world played junior hockey in the CHL.
Originally the Winnipeg Warriors, a group of
dedicated citizens brought the team to Moose Jaw
back in 1984. The Warriors celebrate their 30th
anniversary in the 2014-15 season. The Warriors’
most successful season was in 2006 in which they
made it all the way to the WHL Finals before being
defeated by the Vancouver Giants. In 2012 the
Warriors advanced to the WHL Eastern Conference
Finals but were ultimately eliminated by the
Edmonton Oil Kings.
A number of notable hockey players have played
for the Warriors, including current NHLers Travis
Hamonic (New York Islanders), Troy Brouwer
(Washington Capitals), and Morgan Rielly (Toronto
Maple Leafs). Theoren Fleury, Kelly Buchberger,
Mike Keane, and Ryan Smyth also suited up for the
team. On February 6, 2015 Smyth became just the
fourth Warrior to have his jersey retired at a special
ceremony.
A number of players have had success on the
international stage in recent years, with Brayden
Point (a Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick) winning
gold for Team Canada’s Under-18 team at the 2013
Memorial of Ivan Hlinka Tournament and at the
2014 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.
Goaltender Zach Sawchenko also won gold at the
Ivan Hlinka in 2014 and he and Warriors coach
Tim Hunter and forward Brett Howden took home
the bronze medal at the IIHF World Under-18
Championship in April of 2015.
Training camp is held in August and the season
runs from September through March. Be sure to
visit www.whl.ca to find the team’s schedule. Check
out www.mjwarriors.ca for more information or to
purchase tickets online. You can also purchase
tickets at the Mosaic Place box office. Call 306-6942040 for more information.

The Moose Jaw Miller Express signed outfielders Marvin Malone, Jeremy Stidham, and Jayse

Summer is the perfect season for spending
evenings at the ball park. The Moose Jaw
Miller Express have been entertaining fans
for years and 2015 promises to be another
exciting season.
The Millers plays in the Western Major
Baseball League (WMBL), which features 10
teams from Saskatchewan and Alberta. The
WMBL touts itself as Canada’s pre-eminent
summer collegiate baseball league. For
many years it has served as a showcase
for top Canadian professional and college
prospects, while also allowing American
college players a chance to hone their skills
north of the border.

They have also signed outfielders Marvin

with Tanner Spencer of Craik (RHP) and

Gus Froese stands beside “Town’s Afire,” located on the
third floor of the Hammond Building.
Gus Froese is a renowned artist and is also one
of Moose Jaw’s original mural artists.
Froese had not studied art until he arrived at
Teacher’s College in the early 1950s. He was
encouraged to pursue art by renowned artist
and instructor Wynona Mulcaster. Eventually
he got involved in various drama productions
by painting backdrops. He then transitioned
into painting large-scale pictures. He soon
began teaching his students how to paint
murals. In fact, he and a group of students
came together in the summer of 1986 to paint
“The Edith,” a small mural in Wakamow Valley.
When a group of citizens decided they wanted
to replicate the Chemainus Mural Project
in Chemanius, B.C., the committee decided
to reach out to the mastermind behind that
widely successful venture.
“They are sort of pioneers in this…When we
formed a committee here, we thought we
would get Karl Schutz to come and teach us
how to paint murals. He stayed at our house
for a week. I got to know him and I became
familiar with the sort of mural mentality,” said
Froese. “I had painted a number of murals
before that but after that it really took off.”
In the summer of 1990, the first three murals
were painted in Moose Jaw, including
“Remember Old 80,” (located on the
former Royal Hotel, which has since been
demolished), “Breaking New Ground” (at 80
High St. W.), and “Opening Day Parade” by
Froese (82 Manitoba St. W.).
Froese has also painted the Saskatchewan
Summer Games mural, “March to the Pipes
Forever,” “National Light and Power,” and “In
Praise of Athletes.” His popular mural, “Town’s
Afire,” had to be replaced several years ago
but, fortunately, he recently recreated the
mural on the third floor of the Hammond
Building.
“Every summer we put up more murals,” said
Froese, who has painted murals right across
Canada.”
In fact, Froese has painted murals in Banff,
Alberta, several in Boissevain, Manitoba, and
also in Ontario, too.
Froese says he enjoys the process and likes
interacting with curious onlookers.
“Every one is exciting. The committee gives
you a theme and you have to come up with
an image that not only fits the theme but also
fits the wall. It’s interesting,” said Froese. “One
of the very interesting things about painting
a mural is that you have people coming —
tourists, locals, and little kids. Every time this
happens, I stop and put my brush in a pail of
water so I can spend time with them. I like
that.”
Froese is glad that he has been able to
contribute to Moose Jaw’s famous murals.
“There are still people coming into Moose
Jaw who want to see the Murals of Moose
Jaw,” said Froese. “Tourists admire the murals
and they go home thinking what a wonderful
thing it is.”

“I spend a lot of time going through libraries,
books, and picture sources to try and get
that historical accuracy. If you have a
historical or cultural component then you
want to make sure that you are representing
that accurately,” said McLaughlin. “It can tell
a story but it is also an artwork. Some may

jewelry and art works.
The land titles building converted to an art

brings out guest memories
An older guest on a May bus tour from
Alberta in Moose Jaw told tour guide Gord
Johnson how she recalled as a 13-year-old in
Vegreville, a northern Alberta town, listening
to dance music on CHAB radio. The music
was broadcast live from this city’s Temple
Gardens Dance Hall.
This is but one memory shared with Johnson
by bus visitors taking his step-on tours of
the city to various spots of interest. Or there
are stories like the woman from the United
Kingdom who started crying one day while
viewing a military display at a museum.
Asked why she was crying, the woman said
she was so happy that the military saved her
country in the war.
Johnson is often told stories by people who
experienced military training at the 15 Wing
air base or had connections with Moose Jaw.
“I’ve been enthused about tours since the
beginning,” says Johnson. “And I still am.”
grasp of local history grew. “I thought you
can teach in the classroom but you learn the
most from seeing on field trips.”
On retirement in 1999, he soon became
involved in the Tourism Moose Jaw street
ambassador information program, but only
until summer students were available to
do the job. His informative ways earned
Johnson the provincial Tourism Ambassador
Award in 2003.
One day the tourism people asked him to
do a step-on tour. Thus, Johnson Tours was
born. He has expanded from bus tours to
tours and talks for family reunions, heritage
interpretation walking tours to hosting
events, historic slide shows and planning
events.
“You know,” says Johnson. “It’s not about the
money for me. It’s about the memories.”
by Ron Walter
Anecdotes by visitors keep him eager to do
each tour. “Life is all about memories.”
His popularity at evoking memories is
demonstrated by 160 step-on bus tours for
Edmonton-based Promotion Tours. “They tell
me I do a different tour every time. I’ve had
some people repeat (the tour) eight, nine
times.”
His bus tours of 15 Wing often spy the
Snowbirds Aerial Demonstration team on the
tarmac or even in flight. “(Visitors) think it’s
the cat’s meow. I tell them we are so blessed
to have this Canadian icon in our city.”
The retired teacher turned tourist guide, has
been enthused with Moose Jaw since he was
a boy in the Cabri Community Band coming
to march in the Kinsmen International Band
Festival on Victoria Day weekends.
“I was just taken with the city. It has so much
character.” Once he came to teach here, his
Horse shows
featured at
Ex grounds
Most people think of the annual Hometown
fair when they think of the Moose Jaw
Exhibition grounds.
But the grounds are much more than three
days of fun in late June with a midway, carnival
rides, cotton candy, hot dogs and entertainers.
The grounds are host to numerous equine
events that thrill horse lovers, from the fair
time light horse show attracting up to 50
horses to weekend schooling shows where
new and experienced horses and riders gain
experience,
The Saskatchewan Appaloosa Club, riding a
breed once prized and raised by the Nez Perce
Indians of America, hold three horse shows
here in May, June and October.
The famed versatile quarter horse, still used
on ranches for separating cattle, is featured in
a May show.
And the Saskatchewan Arabian Horse
Association runs a three-day show in late
May to display the fine spirited animals. Many
other horse shows take place in the fall.
The RCMP Musical Ride is on the grounds July
18 and 19 with a prior show at Coronach July
16 and at the Cypress Hills July 21.
Horse lovers can also find schooling shows on
many weekends.
Visitors are welcome to view any of these
shows free of charge.
The Exhibition also has long-term stabling for
horses.

have incredible options
meadow lark
Moose Jaw and area is a paradise for
birdwatchers with at least six locations to
view nature’s winged wonders.
Two minutes from historic downtown Moose
Jaw sits Wakamow Valley, a nature park along
the Moose Jaw River. The Wakamow parks
area from the hills on the river’s east side
to the former Wild Animal Park along Ninth
Avenue North West allows easy viewing of
birds and wildlife.
For the record, at least 393 different bird
species have been seen in Wakamow
Valley. Some live there, others visit during
migration season.
The Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre
on the Moose Jaw Exhibition grounds
allows viewing of 13 captive endangered
burrowing owls. The cuddly little birds are
offspring of injured burrowing owls brought
to the centre. The centre is involved with a
Manitoba program releasing young owls
into their natural habitat to try and rebuild
populations.
One of the greatest migratory bird campouts
is located 95 km west of Moose Jaw on
the Trans-Canada Highway at Chaplin. The
Chaplin Nature Centre, open from May to
September, offers daily tours of Chaplin
Lake. The shallow lake is home to a variety
of shorebirds from the endangered piping
plover to the willet, Wilson phalarope and
colorful American avocet.
Migrating birds stop over for a week to fuel
up for the gruelling flight north in May or in
August for the winged voyage to the warm
South.
Viewers see how mining of sodium sulphate
assists with the birds’ habitat.
For more information visit the website
chaplintourism.com or call 1-306-395-2770.
Still on shorebirds, Horse Shoe Lake, an alkali
lake owned by the Nature Conservancy of
Canada, offers viewing of shorebirds and
prairie songbirds. The lake, located about 75
km southeast of Moose Jaw, was once home
to a sodium sulphate factory.
Songbirds, waterfowl and bison are on view
at Buffalo Pound Lake Provincial Park, just 25
minutes north of Moose Jaw. Two walking
trails allow great bird watching.
The colony of endangered Loggerhead
Shrikes is located on the Craik Golf Course
and nearby Arm River Dam, just an hour’s
drive north of Moose Jaw on Highway Two.
Birdwatchers taking Highway Two South to
Mossbank can walk the 1.5 kilometre Old
Wives Lake Birding Trail and see lark bunting,
egrets, piping plover and pelicans among
others. By Ron Walter
MOTIF
annual
multicultural festival
For three days in July you will be able to
travel the world without leaving Moose
Jaw because the Moose Jaw Multicultural
Council (MJMC) will once again host Motif,
an annual multicultural festival.
Motif celebrated its 40th anniversary in
2014. Both it and the MJMC date back to
1974 when the council was formed as a subcommittee of the Canada Week Committee.
The goal was to raise awareness of the city’s
diversity. This brought about the creation
of the Folkloric Festival. Motif itself was first
held in 1976. Since then, Motif has been
showcasing the different cultures that make
up the fabric of Moose Jaw.
This year Motif will be held July 10-12 at
Happy Valley Park. The park will be open
from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, from
1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, and
from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. It is
estimated that 5,000 people will attend the
festival.
Upon arriving at Motif, you will be greeted
by a tiny “village” featuring displays, food,
artwork, and crafts at booths operated by
participating member groups. Some of the
groups that participated in 2014 include
the Caribbean Association, Filipino Ethnic
Community, Moose Jaw Jamaican Society,
and the Russian Association. Motif also
features a free children’s area.
Entertainment will fill the outdoor stage
throughout the weekend. This will be
provided by member groups and special
headline performers. They will present
traditional cultural dance and performances.
The Motif committee is working hard to
finalize the line-up of talent for 2015, but
you can be sure you will have a great time.
Mary Tkach Vangsnes, Chair of the Motif
Multicultural Festival, says it will be a
weekend full of “fantastic entertainment,
mouth-watering delicacies, and intercultural
interaction.” Don’t miss out on what is one
of Moose Jaw’s most beloved summer
traditions.
Three-day passes cost $12 and will be
available starting in June. You can pick
them up at the MJMC office, located at 60
Athabasca St. E. You can contact the office
at 306-693-4677. You will also be able to buy
three-day bracelets at the gate. Single-day
passes cost just $8 and can be purchased at
the gate. Children 12 and under can get in
for free when accompanied by an adult.

Council.
