Mac was "born" in 1984, to bring tourists into Moose Jaw! He was constructed by Saskatoon artist Don Foulds using a steel frame, covered with metal mesh and completed with 4 coats of cement. A contest was held to name the moose and the winner was Mac, after late city alderman and moose booster, Les Mackenzie. Mac remains one of the most photographed roadside attractions in Canada. In 2019 comedians Justin and Greg discovered that Mac no longer had the title of World’s Largest Moose. Stor-Elvdal, Norway had built a moose that was just over 32 feet tall. After receiving media attention from all around the world, we decided that we could not let Norway win this competition for the World’s Largest Moose. We removed Mac's old antlers and left them on the ground beneath him, to give the impression that he shed his old antlers! "Team Mac" built him a new set of antlers and on October 10, 2019, Mac became (and will hopefully stay) the Tallest Moose in the World once again!
