The Moose Jaw Normal School opened in 1927. The normal schools in Moose Jaw and Regina, with their sister institution in Saskatoon were responsible for administering teacher education programs in the province. They reported to a superintendent of education in the Government of Saskatchewan., and later to the Deputy Minister of Education. Each normal school was organized separately under the control of a principal. The Student Assembly was made up of an executive body, various clubs and committees, and executive bodies for each class.
Originally called the Regina Provincial Normal School, the word "Provincial" was deleted when the Moose Jaw school opened. They became known as the Regina and Moose Jaw Normal Schools. In 1953, the Moose Jaw school was renamed the Saskatchewan Teachers College, Moose Jaw. It closed in 1959 and its operations were transferred to Regina. The Regina school closed in 1964 and its functions assumed by the University of Saskatchewan Regina Campus. From 1930 to 1959 the Moose Jaw Normal School was located in what is now the SIAST Palliser Campus in Moose Jaw.

The Moose Jaw Natural History Society was formed in 1957 by Rosalind Taylor. John Walker was the first president, Rosalind Taylor was vice-president and program convener, Muriel Walker was secretary-treasurer, and Kay Rankin was in charge of publicity. The first field trip was held on April 28, 1957. In the spring of 1958 it was decided at a meeting to set up a proper organization with a full executive and a fee charged to cover expenses, and to include the Saskatchewan Provincial membership and the Blue Jay Magazine (a journal of natural history and conservation for Saskatchewan and adjacent regions published by the Saskatchewan Natural History Society). At the November 15, 1958 meeting, a constitution was adopted, a full slate of officers was elected and the first membership fees were collected. By 1967 membership increased from 9 charter members to 125.
The purpose of the Society is to provide enjoyment and education for its members on topics such as birds, animals, plants, fossils and Indian relics, and to provide funds for worthwhile projects that help in the preservation of natural history.
The Society was active in many activities and presentations, especially those to encourage interest in nature and conservation among the young people. Members went on many early morning field trips. One of the aims of the Society is to conduct at least six field trips a year. They offered bird watching courses and flower identification classes. One popular annual event is the Christmas Bird Count. The purpose is to observe and accurately name as many species of birds as possible in one day during the Christmas holidays (Dec. 21st - Jan.1st.). In Moose Jaw the event is usually held on Dec. 26th or 27th.
In 1993 the name of the Society changed to Nature Moose Jaw and the Provincial body to Nature Saskatchewan. The aims and activities of the organization remain unchanged.

A group of concerned citizens in Regina began meeting in February 1982 for the purpose of initiating an employment project for trainable mentally challenged adults. As a result, a non-profit organization known as the Crackerjack Janitorial Cooperative was formed in April of 1983.

The Canadian Congress of Women (CCW) began during the 1950s as a venue for women to express concerns regarding peace issues, children's rights, poverty, and discrimination. Although the organization later became more politicized, it retained its focus on Canadian women and their role in creating a freer and more peaceful world. The Regina Chapter of the CCW was incorporated in 1950. During its history, the Chapter actively supported better child care and reproductive rights in Saskatchewan. It also advocated celebrating International Children' s Day (June 1) and International Women's Day (March 8).

The idea for a health plan was first voiced by Charles Lionel Dent, a businessman residing in Prince Albert in 1931. Other interested parties joined him to discuss ideas, and from knowledge obtained from many sources, it was decided to form a society to be known as the State Hospital and Medical League. The first meeting was held April 24, 1936. The object of the League was to promote the socialization of the medical structure of the Province. Two doctors, Dr. F.N. Moore of Regina and Dr. W.H. Setka of Prince Albert joined. In 1947, Saskatchewan's first health scheme became a reality under Premier Tommy Douglas and the C.C.F. government.

The Starr's Point Temperance Society was based in the Starr Point School District #357, and the R.M. of South Qu'Appelle No. 157. In May 1896 president of the society, Mr. Bray reported 37 names in the pledge book. Regular monthly meetings were held at which time "the pledge" was circulated. The pledge was a promise to abstain from the use of all intoxicating liquors and tobacco. The programme of each meeting consisted of hymn singing, readings, recitations, debates, and sometimes guest speakers. Occasionally special concerts were held.

The Saskatchewan Liberal Association was organized at the party's first provincial convention, held in Regina on August 16, 1905.

In 1959, the President of the Moose Jaw Festival of Music, Matt Shepperd, suggested adding a ballet component to the music festival. Frank Godley was assigned the position of chairman of the ballet portion of the festival and Helen Tait and Betty Godley were in charge of outreach to dance studios. On April 9, 1960, with the help of Mrs. T. T. Whittet, a Saskatoon dance teacher, and Mr. Arnold Spohr, a ballet dancer and artistic director of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the first ballet competition was held. The competition was considered a success and later other forms of dance were added to the competition, such as tap and jazz.
In 1977, the festival organizers decided to separate the music and dance portions of the competitions. That same year the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance was incorporated. Both the Moose Jaw Festival of Music and Festival of Dance, now called Dance Inspirations, are successful competitions in Moose Jaw.

In November of 1911 the first meeting of a library board was held with the first order of business to erect a public library in Moose Jaw. The board consisted of E. J. Chegwin, A. A. Graham, W. F. Heal, Alfred Mayberry, D. Stemper and J. W. Sifton.
A competition was held to determine the best design for the new building. In January 1912 the winners of the competition were named and Moose Jaw architects Messrs. Reid and McAlpine were chosen.
For the next two years the board would decided on the location for the new building, the tenders to be granted for construction, (Peter Lyall and Sons), plumbing and heating, (Frost Bros.) electrical wiring, (Acme Electric), furniture, hardware, insurance and books. On October 22, 1912, Mr. A. H. Gibbard was chosen to serve as Chief Librarian.
The winter of 1912 saw the first donation to the library's museum room from one Nicholas Yannis as he gave his large collection of ancient and modern coins to the library. However no record of the current fate of the coins is apparent.
On August 15, 1913, the Moose Jaw Public Library was officially opened. Staff that day included Mr. Gibbard, Miss M. A. Hallam, Miss Ester McCammon and Mr. E. Buckley; Miss Ida Crane joined the staff in September. Mr. Gibbard remained with the library until 1940 and was succeeded by S. R. Stephens and eventually Miss H. Cummings.

One permanent event was the opening of a Jubilee branch in November of that year. The facility was rented and the owner sold the premises in the fall of 1967 requiring the branch's closure.

The Catholic Women's League was originally organized in England. Units of the League were established in Edmonton in 1912, Montreal in 1917, Toronto and Ottawa in 1918, and Halifax, Regina, and Sherbrooke in 1919. The dream of a Dominion-wide organization began to take shape during the week of June 19, 1920 when existing units of the League and several other groups of Catholic women came together to "unite Catholic women in an organized body in order to secure the influence needed for promotion of Catholic Social Action, Catholic Education, and Racial harmony with the Catholic Church in Canada." Their motto was "For God and Canada."

The Canadian League became affiliated with the International Union of Catholic Women's Leagues, later called the World Union of Catholic Women's Organizations (WUCWO). Catholic women across the country were encouraged to join the new organization. The first subdivision of the League in Saskatchewan was organized at Holy Rosary parish in Regina on September 8, 1919. The League was established in other communities such as Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Muenster, and Gravelbourg.

In 1943 the National Executive resolved to set up provincial committees of the Catholic Women's League in order that the League be in a position to seek representation for Catholic women on the official provincial committees set up by provincial governments of to deal with war, postwar and other patriotic projects. Ellen M. Drake, President of the Diocesan Council of the Archdiocese of Regina in 1943, was subsequently appointed Chair of the Provincial Council Committee. She was elected the first president of the Saskatchewan Council at the organizational meeting held in Rosary Hall in Saskatoon on March 12, 1948.
