Moose Jaw is a city in south central Saskatchewan, Canada on the Moose Jaw River west of Regina.
Moose Jaw is probably best known as a retirement and tourist city that serves as a hub to the hundreds of small towns and farms that make up that part of Saskatchewan. A few of the tourist attractions include the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, the Temple Garden Mineral Spa and the Murals of Moose Jaw.
The Warriors are Moose Jaw's hockey team which plays in the Western Hockey League.
The largest lake in southern Saskatchewan, Old Wives Lake, is located 30 km southwest of the city.
Moose Jaw is the Canadian city with the biggest number of relatively cloudless days. This makes it a good site for training pilots. For years Pilot Officers of the Canadian Forces Air Command were trained here. It is currently the home of 15 Wing and the Snowbirds, the aerobatic team of the Canadian Armed Forces.
