Moose Jaw City
Moose Jaw City was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. This constituency existed from 1905 to 1967 when it was divided into Moose Jaw North and Moose Jaw South (Wakamow). It was the riding of Opposition leader Wellington Willoughby.
From 1921 to 1967 Moose Jaw City was one of three districts in the province that elected more than one representative to the Legislature. Thus, the two MLAs elected from this constituency will be noted in bold type.
