Now that the decision has been made for Mosaic Place to be governed by the city, but managed by a third party. The next question is what's the next step?

According to Mayor Fraser Tolmie, we need to advertise for the open position and see who comes forward. He believes this will be an easy process as Moose Jaw's downtown area has received a lot of TLC as of late and the fact that there have already been people inquiring about how to apply. 

"It's a great place to visit and people want to come back, and that's part of it. They're going to get us hooked in," explained Tolmie who believes the key to making Mosaic Place a successful venue once again is bringing in a third party. "Is there interest? Just as I left my office [Friday afternoon] on my desk was a group that's reaching out saying 'how do we get hooked up? How do we get involved? We want to be part of it'."

In the near future, Mayor Tolmie said residents and interested businesses will start to see more information about becoming that managing group. 

"It's going to be going out to local media, it'll be going through the Mirk system and Sask-Tenders and through the entertainment industry. I know our City Manager has some connections, he was apart of the Estevan group that put their facilities together, so he has some connections. Pumping it through those kinds of areas to make it known, and it's already obviously making an impact."

He added that it's always been about grabbing the spotlight and pointing it directly to our city for all to see, and thinks that the new potential group will have the expertise to show that off to the right people and we will start to see more interest in our local venue. 

"You can't wait for concerts and events to come to you, you have to go out, and that's what we have to do. But when you go out and you find concerts you don't just take absolutely every concert, you take a concert that fits your community, you take a concert that minimizes loss or that's going to have a great impact."

Tolmie noted that he's aware there's an ongoing debate surrounding the two facilities, but feels this is the best way to go for the rink and entertainment building in the city's center, and there's plenty of benefits to Yara Center becoming another function of the Parks and Recreation department.
