Regent is not alone, many of the returnees make the trip to both of its expos, one in the third week of July and the other in February. “I fell in love with it immediately, and I am deeply honoured to be part of the gamers charity now.” I attended my first gamers event seven years ago, and I’ve been back every single year and I’m now the Vice President,” Regent explained. “(I searched), ‘What can you do in Moose Jaw?,’ and I found the gamers. Then, it was a quick Google search that led him to GAX. Regent is a lawyer in the community, but when he first moved to the city less than 10 years ago, he didn’t know anyone. This event welcomes hundreds to Moose Jaw each year, and it holds a special place in the heart of Vice President Talon Regent. “Not only have you come and had a good time, you’re helping kids get out there and hone those artistic skills,” said Hallsworth.

This year it’s Creative Kids Saskatchewan, which allows children the ability to explore their creative sides. It’s now become Saskatchewan’s longest running gaming expo, which also has a fundraising component.Įach year, organizers pick a charity, where all of its profits from the three-day expo are sent. Jess Hallsworth is one of those original four founders of the Moose Jaw gamers group, who started the Gaming Expo (GAX) 16 years ago. It all started with four guys, sitting in a basement in Moose Jaw, all looking to share their love of one singular thing - gaming.
