Film Permit Information
Moose Jaw

The city of Moose Jaw does not have a dedicated film permit. Instead, the city issues Street Closure permits. This is the best mechanism to close a roadway for filming purposes.

The application can be found here. Anything not applicable can be noted with “N/A.”

The application must include the following supporting documentation:

• Copy of production’s liability insurance for $5 million General Liability
  • The City of Moose Jaw must be named as additional insured.
• Traffic accommodation plan (i.e. map of the closure area indicating barricading and signage).
• A contingency plan (i.e. alternate dates or locations due to weather) should be detailed in the application.
  • If plans change, communication is key. Depending on the resource ask, the Dispatcher will help coordinate changes outlined in the applicant’s contingency plan.

Important: Any businesses or property owners affected by the closure must be notified by the applicant in advance.

Applications and supporting documents are submitted to contactoperations@moosejaw.ca. The Dispatcher will review the application to ensure that all supporting documentation is included before passing it on to Roadways, Transit, and Parks and Recreation divisions for approval.

Applications should be submitted at least 14 calendar days in advance to allow for approvals. Shorter notice can be coordinated through the Transit line 306-694-4488.

Once the application has been approved, the Dispatcher will let the applicant know via email and will send an approval letter with additional information for record-keeping.

The city of Moose Jaw has barricades and some road closure signage available for applicants to borrow if needed. Directions on how to arrange to pick up from the City Complex will be included in the approval letter.
