About Economic Development in Moosomin & Area

Welcome to Moosomin, Saskatchewan

A Progressive Prairie Community

Located in southeast Saskatchewan, the Town of Moosomin is a thriving community of 3,300 people. Surrounded by rich farmland, potash mining, oil, pipelines, and a growing manufacturing sector, Moosomin enjoys a vibrant and diversified economy.

Strategically located on the Trans-Canada Highway and the CP Rail Main Line, Moosomin has become a regional service centre. The town offers a wide range of professional services and a dynamic business sector—ranging from unique retailers to major farm equipment and vehicle dealerships. Our strong and active Chamber of Commerce supports continued local business growth. The community is committed to fostering entrepreneurship and attracting new business, guided by a dedicated economic development team.

Regional Economic Development: Gateway Economic Development

Economic development in our region is driven by Gateway Economic Development, a collaborative initiative funded by five key partners:

Town of Moosomin
Rural Municipality of Moosomin No. 121
Town of Rocanville
Rural Municipality of Rocanville No. 151
Community Builders Alliance

The Gateway initiative reflects a shared commitment to growth and regional cooperation.

Rocanville, located just 30 km north of Moosomin, plays a key role in the local economy. As the site of Nutrien’s major potash operations, Rocanville is a hub of mining activity and a growing residential and service centre. Its addition to the Gateway Economic Development partnership strengthens the region’s ability to support business development and attract investment.

In 2022, the importance of focused economic leadership led to the hiring of a full-time Economic Development Officer.
Casey McCormac, born and raised in Moosomin and a graduate of Athabasca University with a Bachelor of Commerce, leads the region’s economic development efforts.

Casey’s mandate includes:

Supporting the growth of existing local businesses
Attracting new businesses to the area
Helping individuals launch entrepreneurial ventures
Connecting businesses and individuals for mutual benefit

She works closely with the Gateway Economic Development Committee, composed of representatives from each of the five funding partners.

Flatten all cardboard boxes. Wash and rinse all food and beverage containers. Remove all lids and caps from containers.
Can I place glass, organic material or other material in the carts?

No other materials can be accepted until such time that local recycling processors can efficiently process other recyclable materials. Materials not accepted in our program will not be collected and your cart may not be emptied until the offending materials are removed.
What should I do if I have more recyclables than can fit in the cart?

Extra recyclables should be kept for your next scheduled pickup. Should you regularly have more material than your carts capacity, please contact Loraas Disposal to arrange for an additional cart.
My normal regular pickup falls on a statutory holiday do I still put out my cart?

Loraas Disposal collects on all statutory holidays except New Years Day, Good Friday and Christmas Day. Please check your collection calendar for your scheduled pick up days including holidays.
