He came to the Northwest Territories in 1880 and opened the first store in Regina in 1882. Mowat served on the Regina town council and was mayor from 1886 to 1887. With his brother Alex, also a partner in the Regina store, Mowat owned a large horse ranch near the current village of Avonlea.

A compromise was reached that allowed a course in French at the primary level. He moved to British Columbia and so retired from territorial politics in the 1890s.
