The Grand Lodge Jurisdictions of Alberta, Montana, & Saskatchewan, September 28 &29, 2012, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada

Welcome to this our third annual Outdoor Roaming Lodge and the first in Saskatchewan. We have good reason to be together – to share aspects of our beloved fraternity with Brethren from another jurisdiction and to enjoy the fellowship and goodwill that follows when “good men and true” get together.  
So, relax, enjoy the events and take time to get to know one another better.

Your Host Bro Carl Krause, Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan

Where’s Moose Jaw  and Moose Jaw Atractions

Situated on the Trans Canada (No. 1) Highway, Moose Jaw is located 175 km (110 miles) north of the Canada-US Border and 340 km (210 miles) east of the AB-SK border.
Nestled in a picturesque valley where the Moose Jaw River and Thunder Creek meet, it is Saskatchewan’s fourth largest city (32,000 or so). The community with the interesting name was first settled by Cree and Assiniboine Nations, but following the building of the CPR, it became a divisional point for railways and by 1885 was a major settlement. It was soon home to homesteaders, railway workers, and to members of the Sioux Nation who retreated with Sitting Bull after the Battle of Little Big Horn. In that same year it became a major supply point of both men and munitions for the Northwest Resistance led by Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont.
Today Moose Jaw is not only an agricultural service centre, it also features, among other attractions, the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa which uses hot mineral water from an underground acquifer; the Tunnels of Moose Jaw where the notorious gangster Al Capone supposedly ran his bootleg operation; and numerous murals done by local artists in the downtown area, murals that chronicle the local history and other highlights of the community.
