WDM History - 2022

2022

Construction is completed of a gender neutral washroom at the WDM Saskatoon.

The WDM Saskatoon receives funding from PrairiesCan under the Canada Community Revitalization Fund and Canadian Heritage under the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund to make Boomtown Street more accessible to visitors.

A three-year sponsorship agreement is signed with BMO Financial Group to provide two free admission days annually at each WDM location. This agreement was renewed in 2025, extending BMO’s sponsorship to 2028.

Those Were the Days at the WDM North Battleford is rebranded as History in Motion.

On October 11 together with co-curator Whitecap Dakota Nation, the WDM opened Wapaha Sk̄a Oyate: Living Our Culture, Sharing Our Community at Pion-Era, 1955 – 69, a new permanent exhibit at the WDM Saskatoon.
