The Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce was established in 1882 and incorporated under the Board of Trade Act in 1888. During its formative years, the Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce was closely connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway. For example, the Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the establishment of branch rail lines and spurs tracks in Moose Jaw. It was also responsible for the promotion of land to possible homesteaders in North America and Europe and the building of roads in the area. The organization played a significant role in the development of Moose Jaw.
