About Economic Development in Moosomin

The town of Moosomin is a progressive community of 3,300 people in southeast Saskatchewan. Moosomin is surrounded by potash mining, rich farmland, oil, pipelines, and manufacturing industries, which make our economy vibrant.

Moosomin is on the Trans-Canada Highway and the CP Main Line, and has become a regional service centre with a wide variety of professional services, a business sector that ranges from unique retailers to major farm equipment dealers and vehicle dealers, and has a strong and active Chamber of Commerce. The town’s economic development committee aims to help local entrepreneurs develop their businesses, as well as recruit outside businesses to locate in our community.

Our health care and recreation facilities are second to none! The Southeast Integrated Care Centre and Moosomin Family Practice Centre serve a wide area of southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. We offer a full range of recreation. The Nutrien Sportsplex offers indoor activities from sports simulators to glow bowling.

For visitors we offer three new hotels perfect for hosting sports teams or conferences, a museum, rodeo, and Moosomin Regional Park, which hosts camping, boating, swimming and fishing in the summer, and ice fishing in the winter.

Economic development in Moosomin is funded by three parties: the Town of Moosomin, the RM of Moosomin #121, and the Community Builders Alliance. In 2022, the importance of having a full-time Economic Development Officer was realized, and that is where Casey McCormac came in.

Casey’s mandate is to bring new business to the area, while helping current businesses grow. This role extends to working with individuals to help launch their new business ideas, and as well, connecting individuals and businesses for their mutual advantage.

Casey was born and raised in Moosomin. She completed her Bachelor of Commerce degree in December of 2021 from Athabasca University.

Casey works with, and reports to, the Economic Development Committee - made up of Town and RM Council members, and members of the Community Builders Alliance.

Do I need to bag the recyclables before putting them in the cart?

No, please DO NOT BAG or TIE your recyclables before depositing them into the cart. Bagged or tied materials may be left curbside due to the additional expense that debagging requires.
How should I prepare my recyclables for collection?

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.
