- W2338270148 abstract "By the late 1980s, the 35,000 citizens of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, were faced with the harsh reality that their community was in decline. A global decrease in prices for agricultural goods and the reduction of rural transportation, culminating with the closing of VIA rail passenger service in 1990, had taken their toll on the collective psyche of the city’s residents. Many of Moose Jaw’s businesses were dependent to a significant extent on the local farming community for support and they struggled as agriculture, the mainstay of the rural economy in the province, declined in importance—a trend evident in statistics showing Saskatchewan’s changing labor force employed by industry (Table 1).

Economic stagnation, as revealed in declining construction starts and values, stimulated out-migration among the young. This limited development of employment opportunities and an aging population placed greater pressure on the city to support services and facilities. A sense of desperation was in the air as elected officials and private citizens attempted to devise tactics aimed at diversifying and revitalizing the local economy. It was during this low ebb that leaders began to consider alternative development strategies, including schemes geared towards the stimulation of tourism. One such plan centered on the idea of developing a series of historical murals in the downtown area. This strategy was based on a similar project undertaken in Chemainus, British Columbia, developed after a sawmill closure in the late 1970s forced the small Vancouver Island community to either diversify or perish. The success of the Chemainus murals, the major force in attracting 300,000 visitors and $26 million in business in 1991, 1 appealed to Moose Javians; in the summer of 1989, a" @default.
