There were a lot of events in Moose Jaw over the course of 2017 and a pair of them put our city in the national spotlight. Coming in at number four on our list of top news story of 2017 is the attention that those events brought to the community.

Our city got tons of national coverage this year, and even more when it came to the events we held. Mayor Fraser Tolmie talked a little about these events during his look back on his first year as mayor.

"It's the national attention that we're getting in Moose Jaw. We had the Roger's Hometown Hockey in January and in November, it was One Horse Town with Country Music Television."

The pair of events allowed Mayor Tolmie to get some new eyes on the city and to promote the opportunities there are for new businesses and residents.
