Joe’s Place announces Voltage ‘24,area’s largest chem-free New Year’s party for youth Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express
Youths aged 13 to 19 are invited to Saskatchewan’s largest drug- and alcohol-free New Year’s Eve celebration as Joe’s Place announces the return of Voltage to ring in the New Year with a full lineup of entertainment. Voltage 2024 will take place at Hillcrest Apostolic Church from 8 p.m. on Dec. 31 until 6 a.m. the following day. “It’s an all-night party, and we have a live band that performs at the countdown to New Year’s session,” announced Joe Dueck, owner of Joe’s Place. Prior to the announcement, Dueck was concerned that Voltage might have to be cancelled — the first time since the two-year cancellation during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. “Honestly, we were wondering if it was possible,” he explained. “We’ve had a very tight year financially. We had a big electrical failure that left the building in need of very expensive repairs to replace the old (electrical) system….” With one major bill remaining, K+S Potash Canada and River Street Promotions stepped in. Renowned for supporting youth and mental health initiatives, these two title sponsors helped turn the tide. The final push came from the Gene Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation, who “at the last minute, came in to save the day and make sure that Voltage could happen,” Dueck said. This support extends beyond Voltage and enhances the Joe’s Place Media Alliance work skills program. The Media Alliance program plays a pivotal role in bringing Voltage to life. Its roughly 20 members have been working diligently on what they call the “Voltage Skit,” a full-scale multimedia production produced locally under the guidance of Jeremy Ratzlaff from Lampblack Studios. Dueck said the program has been busier than ever. “We have special effects and people running down the aisles, and various surprise cameo guests in the skit. It’s pretty amazing.” The team created an event poster and produced more videos than ever before, including a Voltage teaser shot partially in the Tunnels of Moose Jaw that’s “getting rave reviews all over social media.” The annual theme will shift from 2023’s medieval fantasy to 2024’s superheroes.
“There’s going to be some great photo ops with various Marvel and DC heroes, and again, the big drama during the countdown to New Year’s session,” Dueck revealed. “The title is ‘Legacy,’ and the focus… is to really show the youth that they have gifts and talents — their superpowers, if you will,” he said, adding that he hopes to show them “that they can use (these gifts) to help others, make a difference in the world, and leave their legacy on the world.” Voltage will feature a karaoke room, Gaga Ball, Nine Square in the Air, and a gym packed with inflatables for a gladiator tournament. Highlights also include a “huge arcade” with console, VR, and PC gaming, plus Bazooka Ball and axe throwing from Little Chicago Entertainment. The popular “Bike in a Box” competition will return for teams to vie for a $700 Canadian Tire bike by disassembling an old bicycle and fitting it into a box. Prizes for the night include a Nintendo Switch, PS5, iPad, and a standout wearable Iron Man suit to follow last year’s suit of medieval armor. Back by popular demand will be Manitoba-based ‘The Color,’ who will return after a memorable performance in 2023. “We just really want Moose Jaw’s youth to attend Voltage and stay safe and sober on a night that might be known for some of the negative party options,” he said. “We hope that they would rather choose Voltage.” Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and can be purchased at Joe’s Place, John’s Music, Peavey Mart, Hillcrest Church, or by calling or emailing Joe’s Place. It’s advisable to purchase tickets early as the event is likely to sell out. Joe’s Place is located at 402 Main Street North and can be reached at 306-693-5637 or by email at Info@JPYC.org. Additional sponsors are welcome to reach out and will be heavily advertised on the centre’s social and other platforms. To learn more about Voltage, visit Voltage.SK.ca.

The Hillcrest Apostolic Church is located at 1550 Main Street North.
