The Trails & Pathways Master Plan will also contain the results of community engagement activities including:
- Household and stakeholder surveys.
- Interviews and focus groups with various interest groups.
- Consultation with the Project Team, Advisory Committees, City Council and City Administration.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AND ZONING BYLAW
The City of Moose Jaw has begun the process to update its Official Community Plan and Moose Jaw residents are invited to get #NotoriouslyEngaged and provide input along the way.
What is an Official Community Plan?
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is recognized by the Provincial Government as a statement of Moose Jaw’s long-term vision for growth and development. It reflects community values and establishes a framework for investment.
The OCP bylaw is adopted by Council as required by The Planning & Development Act, 2007.
What is a Zoning Bylaw?
A Zoning Bylaw implements the policies of the OCP. Its purpose is to:
- establish permitted, prohibited and discretionary land uses by assigning zoning districts;
- outline development standards; and
- identify permit requirements.

PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
Moose Jaw City Council has officially adopted the Parks & Recreation Master Plan.
Since April of 2022, the City of Moose Jaw Parks and Recreation Department and EDS Group have engaged user groups and residents for the development of a 10-year Parks and Recreation Master Plan that will prioritize and strategically guide City programming and infrastructure development/renewal in the future.
