Moose Jaw at a Glance
Originally settled as a post for native fur traders, the name Moose Jaw originated
from the Cree word Moosegaw, meaning “warm breezes”. The city offers a variety
of interesting activities and sites for visitors to explore. The Tunnels
of Moose Jaw is an interpretive centre that uses actors to guide guests
through the network of tunnels running under the city which were used by bootleggers
during Prohibition. More local history and contemporary culture are on display
at the Moose
Jaw Museum and Art Gallery as well as the Yvette
Moore Fine Art Gallery. Visit the Sukanen
Ship Pioneer Village Museum, which is home to over 200 antique tractors,
cars and trucks as well as the boyhood home of Canada’s 13th Prime Minister,
John G. Diefenbaker, and then take in a Moose
Jaw Warriors WHL game at the Civic
Centre Arena. History, culture, action, excitement and more are all on offer
in Moose Jaw.
