WDM History - 2005

2005

In celebration of Saskatchewan’s centenary, the WDM undertakes a number of initiatives:

Phase one of Winning the Prairie Gamble: The Saskatchewan Story, a new centennial exhibit, opens at the four WDM locations.

A centennial quilt contest was held with 29 entries received from across the province. The four prize-winning quilts became part of the Museum’s new centennial exhibits.

The WDM commissions a play titled Winning the Prairie Gamble by renowned playwrights Geoffrey Ursell and Barbara Sapergia. The Persephone Theatre of Saskatoon tours the play to over 60 schools in the province as part of their youth tour.

In partnership with the Saskatchewan Archives Board, the WDM writes about and selects historical photographs to produce a publication called the Saskatchewan History Centennial Timeline.
