The word is going to hit the street in a few weeks in Moose Jaw’s downtown.

“Everything’s downtown. The historic downtown Moose Jaw is an important feature for tourists who come here and it’s an attraction.

“Things are coming together. It’s just really, really busy in the office this time of year for us, but pass sales are going really well.”
