Welcome to this 10th Anniversary Edition of the Moose Jaw MagaJoan Ritchie zine! With a special effort made by our exceptional journalists, sales team, designer and management, we have endeavored to bring you an exclusive overview of what Moose Jaw and region have to offer; of course we could not possibly include everything worthy of mention in one edition. This is our largest volume to date and although we did not focus on the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, nor the Casino that are often the draw for visitors, this magazine directs you to many other mainstay places to visit and explore. Moose Jaw’s mascot and the renowned world’s largest moose, Mac is worthy of mention within; you can’t miss him just off Hwy #1. This magazine is geared not only to visitors to Moose Jaw, but for our community to enjoy and possibly offer some insight into summer options of things to do. We have also expanded our vision to include much of the region, places to go, people to see and lots to do, for those that want to explore. Most places mentioned can be visited during a day trip from Moose Jaw within a two-hour drive. With much optimism on the horizon that life will possibly be back to a somewhat ‘new normal’, hopefully individuals will have more freedom in their comings and goings. After more than a year into this global pandemic, Saskatchewan has released a plan for a full opening this summer. May we offer some suggestions? • Take a walking tour of the historic murals of Moose Jaw • Who doesn’t love a spa treatment? Moose Jaw offers one of the best – Sahara Spa • Moose Jaw has a vibrant arts and culture scene with many exceptional artisans – shop local • Food? Wine? Numerous options; Moose Jaw has its own local Prairie Bee Meadery. Check it out! • Museums, art galleries, historic downtown, parks for people, dogs, bikers and skateboarders • Golfing all over the region; paintball; trap and skeet? • Make it a day trip; places to go with lots to see and do... • Numerous businesses featured inside this magazine offer specialized products that you may be interested in; take time to drop by and see “Today is not just another day. It’s a new opportunity, another chance, a new beginning. Embrace it.” Anonymous Joan Ritchie
