MOOSE JAW — Downtown Moose Jaw was filled with colour, laughter, and the hum of tiny parade vehicles as the Midwest Shrine Association (MSA) capped off its four-day visit to the Friendly City with a grand parade Aug. 23.
For Moose Jaw, it was a rare spectacle — a once-in-15-years opportunity as the MSA rotates annually between member centres. The parade was the public highlight of the gathering, which also featured competitions, a community meet-and-greet, and tours showcasing Moose Jaw’s attractions.
As the last floats rolled south along Main Street North, the parade underscored the spirit of fellowship that defines the Shriners — and left behind a lively reminder of the impact international gatherings can have on the Friendly City.
