WDM Cancels Summer Events and In-Museum Summer Camps

It is with a heavy heart that the Western Development Museum announces the cancellation of its summer events, including – Pion-Era in Saskatoon, Those Were The Days in North Battleford, and the Threshermen’s Show & Seniors’ Festival in Yorkton. Also cancelled are all in-Museum summer camps. Watch for details coming soon about our virtual summer camp.

It is in the best interest of staff, volunteers and the visiting public to cancel summer events in 2020 due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

“These events are important community gatherings and not being able to go ahead with them this year is difficult. However, the safety of our staff, volunteer and visitors is of primary importance.” said Joan Kanigan, CEO.

Brickspo a partnership with the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group, in Moose Jaw is postponed. Organizers hope the event can take place in some format later in the fall. More details will be forthcoming.

The WDM is included in Phase 4 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan (https://bit.ly/3bP0gvy). While we do not yet know when Phase 4 of the plan will occur, we do know that social distancing and disinfecting requirements will remain in place.
