Over $9 million in building permits issued in May
May 2025's Building Permit Valuation Report shows a moderate increase in the number of permits issued by the City of Moose Jaw—27 total, up from 20 in May 2024—but at a considerably higher value. Permits issued last month reached a combined value of $9,053,488, four times higher than the year prior, an increase of $6,792,953.
