While Moose Jaw will always be friendly, now it will be also known as being equally notorious. As a nod to the colourful history of both the city and its people, Moose Jaw will now be known as Canada’s Most Notorious City. The campaign officially launched on May 8. The decision came from rebranding discussions from earlier this year and is being called the city’s “worst kept secret;” but that won’t deter its forward path. With Tourism Moose Jaw and the Chamber of Commerce spearheading the movement, the rebrand is finally here.
