Recently an individual contacted us because they were disappointed that a certain event held here in Moose Jaw was only for males. Although it hasn’t ever been advertised as just a male event (even though it is perceived to be), it seems that only males participate. To me, that might be a good thing. In a room full of testosterone, there could be some things that the female gender just don’t want to be privy to.
And then I got to thinking about other events here in Moose Jaw that are only female events, and there are some.
So, to me, some things just are what they are. I don’t believe there is any ill intent or a bias of one gender over another or any inference of superiority by gender when it comes to specific events held in Moose Jaw. It is what it is!

I am not sure how to get through to individuals that when we cover an event and write about it, it isn’t about us but what went on in the event. I don’t think I can be any clearer than that. The job of a newspaper is to report the news (what was going on and what was being said), whether others agree with it or like it or not.
In the life of a newspaper, one thing is for sure…you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” You can’t make everyone happy at the same time because everyone has their own opinion and for sure, there are always two sides to every coin.

And on a lighter note, what a great weekend to mill around downtown during Sidewalk Days. Thankfully the rain stayed away and by all reports, the event was a huge success. Kudos to the organizers and all of the volunteers for giving the community another event to go to after almost two years of lock downs.

Well, a big change to the Moose Jaw Warriors will soon be visible everywhere with their new branding and logo. I personally didn’t have any issues at all with the last one but in regards to the new branding logo – the link with the Snowbirds is very clever and certainly cements Moose Jaw’s claim to Home of the Snowbirds and the Warriors. Very nice!
