Tunnels of Moose Jaw:
People from Moose Jaw have been told about the tunnels underneath their city for many generations. They were told that smugglers and criminals, such as legendary American gangster Al Capone, used to use them as hideouts. The tunnels are now used as a tourist attraction and two interactive tours of the tunnels are now available. One tour is about the bootlegging days of Al Capone; the other is about the Chinese immigrants who lived in the tunnels in the early part of the 20th century. It is Moose Jaw's main tourist attraction and has attracted people from all over the world.

For years, rumours have abounded that a third tunnel tour, focusing on Saskatchewan's days as a haven for whiskey smugglers taking their product into the U.S., would be started.
