NOTE: The WDM has made the difficult decision to cancel all in-person school programs for fall-winter 2020 due to the COVID-19 virus. Please check out our virtual offerings below. Our Museums are open reduced hours for general visits, but we will not be offering specific programming. All bookings must follow the WDM’s COVID-19 procedures. Please contact us at yorkton.ed@wdm.ca or 1-306-783-8361 to discuss a visit.
We’re excited to be working on new ideas and virtual options for you and your students – so check back with us often. Plus, check out our in-classroom resources below or visit our At Home Activities page.
