MOOSE JAW, SK – The City of Moose Jaw is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 Tree of Significance.

Canada’s official National Tree Day is observed on the Wednesday of National Forest Week, which takes place during the last full week of September. To commemorate this event, the City has held this annual program since 2011 to recognize trees of significance to Moose Jaw residents. Photographs of the winning trees from previous years can be viewed on the City of Moose Jaw website.

• Is it remarkable for its size and shape?
• Does it hold historical significance?
• Is it a rare species in this region?
