Rural Municipality of Moose Creek No. 33
The Rural Municipality of Moose Creek No. 33 (2016 population: 379) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 1 and SARM Division No. 1.
History
The RM of Moose Creek No. 33 incorporated as a rural municipality on 12 December, 1910.[2]
Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery
Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery, also known as Moose Creek Methodist Church until 1925 when it joined the United Church, is an historical site located within the RM.
Constructed in 1916, the United Church is located approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south-west of Carlyle.[5] The initial funding to build the church came from community donations and a $1,500 loan at 8% interest from John Hewitt. When he died in 1927, the balance of the loan was cancelled. The cemetery was established two years after the completion of the church, in 1918. The cemetery is the final resting place for many of the early settlers. The first wedding there was between Tom Cook and Isabel Wallace and was officiated by Reverend F.B. Ball[6]
On 5 March, 1991, the church and cemetery were designated a Municipal Heritage Resource and on 10 August, they were added to the Register for Canada's Historic Places.
The heritage value of the property also lies in the landscape. The Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery is situated on large well-groomed grounds, reflecting property's importance to the community. The borders are defined by a partial shelter belt, and the cemetery is further separated from the church grounds by a loosely-treed border and an ornate brick and iron gate.[7]
