Moose Jaw city council will continue with meetings amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but without a public gallery. The city revealed the format in a news release Tuesday, one day after announcing the closure of its civic facilities.
Moose Jaw will livestream council meetings on the City of Moose Jaw YouTube channel, according to the press release. Municipal politicians meet twice per month on Mondays at 5:30 p.m.
As such, the livestream will be up by 5 p.m. The next meeting is set for March 23. Committee meetings are cancelled until further notice, according to the press release.
City of Moose Jaw spokesperson Craig Hemingway said he couldn’t speak to council’s decision, but noted there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Moose Jaw as of
