Kicking off our top stories of 2017, is Moose Jaw's stellar year of receiving national attention.

Back in October, Mayor Fraser Tolmie was celebrating his first year as leader of the city, and he talked about just how much time we spent in the spotlight.

"We were on the Amazing Race, we are now featured in a Superstore commercial with Mac the Moose and Andrea De Grasse," explained Tolmie. 

Not only did Moose Javians get the chance to see themselves or their city on Television numerous times, but we also received praise online when we made it to #3 of Expedia's Top 10 Coolest Downtown list.

"Just recently we were able to highlight that on the Country Music Television program One Horse Town, which is televised across Canada. I think we should be thanking Expedia for confirming what we already know about our historic downtown."

Join us over the next week as we count down the most memorable stories of the past year.
