Moosomin<br />
Moosomin is the “Gateway to<br />
<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>” and a popular<br />
stop for many of the one million annual<br />
travellers on the twinned Trans-<br />
Canada Highway. Three convenient<br />
accesses lead to business, health,<br />
and recreational facilities. Moosomin’s<br />
population is increasing; new homes<br />
and businesses are being built,<br />
proving “Moosomin is on the Move”.<br />
Moosomin is a progressive community<br />
offering a wide variety of business and<br />
professional services. It is the centre<br />
of a strong mixed-farming industry.<br />
The potash and oil industries are<br />
expanding. A visitor asked the desk<br />
clerk, “Why is Moosomin so busy right<br />
now?” She replied, “It is always this<br />
busy. There’s oil in the area, the potash<br />
mine is expanding, the new wind farm<br />
is up and running.”<br />
Moosomin, named<br />
after a prominent<br />
Indian chief, was the<br />
first <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />
community built along<br />
the Canadian Pacific<br />
Railway in 1882.<br />
Moosomin quickly<br />
become an important<br />
regional trading centre. This historic<br />
town has many fine old homes and<br />
public buildings, which are featured on<br />
the Heritage Walking Tours.<br />
