Despite this, billing schedules, route information, and payment options are still available to ensure that residents receive their bills and can make payments on time.

In a sentimental farewell, Carnie reflects on the recent Nazareth concert in Moose Jaw. The band, known for their hit songs in their prime, performed as part of their Canadian Farewell Tour. Even though their sound may have changed over the years, it was a special experience for Carnie to witness them live after nearly five decades since he last saw them in 1976.

In this particular concert, Lee Aaron, known as the “Metal Queen,” opened the show with an impressive performance that set the stage for Nazareth’s final show in Saskatchewan. The highlight of the night was seeing bass player Pete Agnew on stage at 79 years old, alongside his son Lee on drums. Despite the passage of time, both musicians delivered a solid performance, proving that rock and roll truly has no age limit.

Carnie’s Comments capture the nostalgia and significance of attending a concert by a legendary band like Nazareth. Despite the changes in sound and lineup, the concert was a memorable event that showcased the enduring passion and talent of these rock icons. The experience of witnessing live music from a beloved band is a reminder of the power of music to connect generations and create lasting memories.
