The Chamber has published its list of designated employers, so the page carries all 132 of them, along with the Chamber's own notice: most use the pilot for people they already employ, are not accepting new applications, and ask not to be mass emailed. The page also now states a limit that was missing — food service, financial and transport businesses with fewer than 10 full-time staff can put forward one person a year.

Type your address and get your garbage zone and your recycling zone. They are not the same day — Zone 3 garbage is Tuesday and Zone 3 recycling is Wednesday — so the page gives both separately. If your address ends in a direction, type it: 1210 3rd Ave NE and 1210 3rd Ave NW are collected on different days, and if you leave it off the page asks which you meant rather than guessing. Zones come from the City's own map.

Moose Jaw is one of fourteen Canadian communities in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot, and around 160 local businesses can now recommend someone for permanent residence through it. For a city whose population has barely moved since 2016, that makes it the single largest force on who lives here next — and there was nowhere local that explained it plainly. The new page starts with the thing people most often get wrong, because getting it wrong costs money: you cannot apply for this yourself. A business has to be approved as a designated employer first, and then that employer submits the application on your behalf. Nobody may charge you for a job offer or for a recommendation, and the page says where to report it if someone tries. After that it is the practical detail, the part that is local and changes through the year: the three intake windows left in 2026 and which one is next, that only twelve recommendations go out per window on a first-come basis, all twenty-five priority occupations with a search box and an honest note on the two that are already full for the year, the settlement funds you have to show for your household size, and the language level your job's skill tier requires. It is a summary of what the Chamber of Commerce and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada have published, with links to both, and it cannot tell anyone whether they qualify — only the community issues a recommendation and only IRCC grants residence. Every figure carries the date it was checked.

The page was still leading with when your street gets plowed. Air quality, the street board and the water bill are pinned for now; the plow tiers come back in November and the river gauge in March.

5th Avenue NW and 1st Avenue SE join the board while the Infrastructure Renewal water-main work is open, and Coteau Street West's note is rewritten. CAA Saskatchewan paused its Worst Roads ranking for 2026, so the page cites the 2025 list as the most recent rather than the current one.

The Moose Jaw River barely moves outside the spring melt: 0.002 m³/s on average last August against 6.7 in April. A flow of 0.0 in July is the river behaving normally, not a broken feed, and the page now says so.

Doctors taking new patients, downtown patios, Sidewalk Days tips and winter survival advice — answered by residents.

The City's four snow-clearing priority tiers, target hours, and the windrow rules — with the official map for your exact street.

The town page now opens with a colored-pencil banner: the Snowbirds in formation trailing smoke above the Moose Jaw River notch and the surrounding grain country.

Moose Jaw now has its first tools. A live gauge on the Moose Jaw River shows whether it's running high, with the spring-runoff authority to watch. A bill estimator turns your water use into your 2026 water, sewer and sanitation bill, including the storm-water charge. And a neighbour-reported board shows how the streets are right now — clear, slow going or blocked — with the city's clearing order and report line.
