In 1910, this privately owned company was organized in Ottawa with shareholders in almost every part of Canada, England and France. The total investment was three quarters of a million dollars.
From its inaugural run on August 19, 1911 to the last run on October 8, 1932; the streetcars of the Moose Jaw Electric Railway Co. carried over 35,000,000 paid passengers.
Guided by superintendents A.II. Dion, II. A. McLean and in the latter years, George Connor; the company not only provided transportation the citizens of Moose Jaw, but also built and operated an amusement park and dance pavilion in Kingsway Park on the south edge of the city.
