Moose Jaw Wakamow is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. One of two provincial constituencies for the city of Moose Jaw, the riding contains the area of the city south of Caribou Street, northeast of 9th Avenue and northwest of Thatcher Drive.

History[edit]

This district (along with its counterpart Moose Jaw North) was created for the 1967 election after the Saskatchewan government decided to retire a system of multiple-MLA electoral divisions for the cities of Regina, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw. The riding was called Moose Jaw South prior to the 1991 general election, when it adopted its current name.

From the 2003 election through the 2011 election, the riding contained a sizable rural area to the south of Moose Jaw including the Rural Municipality of Baildon and the northern half of the Rural Municipality of Terrell. This rural territory was moved to Lumsden-Morse for the 2016 election, making Moose Jaw Wakamow back into a strictly urban riding.

For the next general election, the riding will gain the part of the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw south of the Trans-Canada Highway, including CFB Moose Jaw.^[1]
