April 24-30 has been declared Saskatchewan Tourism Week by the Government of Saskatchewan.
This week takes time to appreciate how tourism benefits the economy and the workforce. Along with these monetary benefits, tourism businesses and operators create a vibrant community and enhance the quality of life!
Jacki L'Heureux-Mason, Executive Director, believes tourism is a huge factor in what makes Moose Jaw such a wonderful city.
"[Tourism] employs thousands of people in our city." L'Heureux-Mason remarked. "As many downtown businesses would attest to, without tourism they wouldn't keep their doors open."
As businesses excitedly prepare for this summer's activities, L'Heureux Mason would like to highlight businesses in Moose Jaw that you could be supporting this week and during the summer.
"We always know that the Tunnels of Moose Jaw has been a staple in our tourism industry, along with Temple Gardens Mineral Spa," L'Heureux-Mason commented. "We also have some of the best escape rooms in all of Western Canada right here in Moose Jaw! The Little Chicago Escape Rooms are top notch."
L'Heureux-Mason also wanted to draw attention to the axe-throwing activity at Little Chicago Escape Rooms, the Western Development Museum, and the small boutiques in Downtown Moose Jaw.
