Employment
Opportunities
There are so many big
opportunities in Moose Jaw,
and I just loved that after
school it wasn't that hard to
get a job and to get that feel
I'm done and I'm starting
my life.
– Kailey Ruston,
Marketing Graduate from
Saskatchewan Polytechnic
Moose Jaw
Approximately 900 people work in the heavy industrial plants located
near Belle Plaine with as many as half living in Moose Jaw. Numbers
are expected to grow over the next year as the K+S Mine potash mine
becomes operational, providing new job opportunities in trades and
technologies, administration, management, and general labourers. The
two local potash mines, along with their supply chains, will need workers
trained in Engineering Technologies, Building Trades and Business
Administration. Training and industrial work experience will be required.
Your local Service Canada office and other employment agencies provide
assistance in finding employment in the local area. Contact them for
more information or assistance at 306-694-3699.

What's a Fun Day Off in
YOUNG COUPLE
FAMILY
Andy has his own business downtown. He moved
here with his wife, she is a doctor and they have
three young children:
"When my wife and I are lucky enough to have the
same day off, as it rare due to our very busy lives,
we start with breakfast with the kids at home.
By 10:00am we are off for a swim at the
Kinsmen Sportsplex or turf time at YaraCentre.
YaraCentre is great because we can each get a
run in around the track while we trade off looking
after the kids.
Crystal and Kirby moved back to Moose Jaw
after following their careers to BC. Kirby
has his own business and Crystal works in
communications:
"On our summer weekends we love to do our
shopping at the downtown Farmers Market.
We usually browse through all the booths before
grabbing lattes at our favourite downtown café.
We often stroll through Crescent Park and take
a relaxing tour of the Art Museum and Gallery.
It's also fun to go for lunch in one of our favourite
restaurants within close walking distance of the
Farmers Market. We love the downtown's array
of unique boutiques and specialty shops but we

Joyce and Harvey have long successful careers
nearing retirement. They have lived in Moose Jaw
their whole lives and love it here:

"We love the home we have built - it is in such a
beautiful area of town. Our day off starts with
coffee on the deck overlooking the gardens then
a trip to the off-leash dog park for a brisk walk.
The Wakamow Park Ecological Zone is a place we
like to sit on a bench and watch for deer, birds
and other wildlife who inhabit that area.
For fun we I collect our granddaughter (we like to
give our daughter a break too!) ...and she loves the
waterpark in Crescent Park and the playground
Moose Jaw?
Moose Jaw has a rich great history that a
lot of other places don't have and when you
drive or walk around downtown Moose Jaw
it's an experience.
– Patrick Boyle, Manager
Corporate Communications
Water Security Agency
In the summer we love to go to Phyllis Dewar Outdoor
Pool or the water park right next door.
Often we get together with our friends and their
kids and have a picnic next to the playground in
Connor Park, with a great covered picnic area located
in the river valley.
There are so many great annual family events. We
love the Santa Claus Parade, the Hometown Fair, and
Sidewalk Days in July. We never miss the Motif Festival
with the wonderful selection of different foods and
entertainment from all over the world.
also appreciate the mix of big box stores located on
Thatcher Drive.
Every summer we look forward to the many festivals
and events. One of our favourites is the multicultural
Motif. And then there's Festival of Words – a three-day
event that showcases famous writers.
When our friends from British Columbia visit we take
them on one of our two underground Moose Jaw Tunnel
tours. We love meeting Al Capone and hearing the story
of Chicago gangsters who used to frequent our city.
But I think my favourite tunnel tour is the Passage to
Fortune - the story of the Chinese immigrants who lived
here and helped build Canada's national railway.
in Connor Park. On days that are too hot or too cold we
take in an afternoon matinee at the movie theatre. And
too often we go for ice cream!
We enjoy our season ticket to the Mae Wilson Theatre
with RuBarb Productions – performing arts company –
producing some fantastic live theatre performances all
year round. Summertime means live entertainment in
Crescent Park.
We also love to go shopping downtown and often stop
at one of the downtown restaurants to relax with
friends over a glass of wine.
We spend a lot of time on one of the three local golf
courses. But in the winter, while my husband heads
We are season ticket holders for the Moose Jaw
Warriors (hockey) and love to take our three kids to the
games. We also love to go to concerts at Mosaic® Place
The Backstreet Boys were a favourite!
Whenever we have guests come to visit us we book a
ride on the Trolley and tour Moose Jaw. They always
love the history of our city and the downtown murals."
A lot of our summertime is filled with biking the Trans
Canada trails around the city and challenging the
nationally acclaimed mountain biking trails at Buffalo
Pound Park. We also enjoy canoeing the Moose Jaw
river. Winters are lots of fun too – we love cross-country
skiing along the river or skating on the outdoor Oval in
River Park.
Evenings we like to go out to our favourite local pub
for trivia or to see live entertainment at Mae Wilson
Theatre. And of course we try to attend most of the
live concerts held at Mosaic® Place. We love Moose Jaw
because there is always something fun to do all year
long!"
out ice fishing, I join the local quilters guild or visit the
library. One of our most relaxing activities is taking
a rejuvenating dip in the hot mineral waters at the
spa. The 'best' is sitting in the hot outdoor pool with
snowflakes falling on our heads!
We both volunteer with our service clubs throughout
the year and that's a lot of fun. Most recently we helped
raise money for medical equipment for our new hospital.
The community is so giving and it makes us proud to do
what we can to help. Moose Jaw has been a great place
to raise our family, and now our daughter is raising her
daughter here. Moose Jaw really is such a great place to
retire… and it's a very affordable place to live too!"
