Mac the Moose

Mac the Moose is a steel sculpture in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, standing about 34 feet tall and constructed from a steel frame, metal mesh, and multiple layers of cement. The figure sits beside the visitor center along Thatcher Drive, serving as a landmark for the city.

Artist Don Foulds created this sculpture in 1984 as a local landmark. It was relocated to its current position on Thatcher Drive near the Trans-Canada Highway in 2004, where it has welcomed travelers ever since.

The moose was named after Les MacKenzie through a community vote, embodying Canada's tradition of building oversized roadside landmarks. It has become a source of local pride and a photo spot for travelers passing through the region.

The monument sits beside the local visitor center, where travelers can find information and rest areas. Its location on a main road makes it easy to access and ideal for quick photo stops while driving through.

New, taller antlers were installed in 2019, allowing it to reclaim the title of world's largest moose sculpture after being surpassed by another monument. This competition between roadside attractions reflects the playful spirit of Canadian landmark culture.
