The Mid-Sask Municipal Alliance (MSMA) is a group of thirteen municipalities working together to maximize the economic impact of the mining industry. We are future focused in our intent to establish a long term vision and direction for the region. The MSMA is about finding ways to help our member municipalities address some of the challenges that they face, embracing them as a group rather than trying to deal with those issues individually.

The MSMA Region is a Committed and Effective Regional Collaboration of municipalities, dedicated to serving the needs of business to support further development and enhance its limitless potential. Each municipality recognizes the need to work together to solve issues, and to gain strength from one another, for the long term betterment of the region.
