The Government of Saskatchewan announced that museums, which are part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan Phase 4.2, can begin to open on June 29, however, after careful consideration, says the Western Development Museum, it has made the decision to remain closed at its locations in Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Saskatoon and Yorkton.
Joan Kanigan, WDM CEO said, “The safety of our visitors, volunteers and staff is our primary concern. As difficult as this is, the WDM must remain closed until we are confident that all the requirements outlined in the Libraries, Museums, Art Galleries Guidelines along with all other applicable provincial regulations are being met to the highest standard.”
More information about when the WDM will re-open will be on the website at wdm.ca as it available. The WDM looks forward to welcoming everyone back into its Museum locations when all safety protocols are in place.
With four exhibit locations in Saskatchewan, the WDM is the province’s largest human history museum. The WDM’s mandate is to collect, preserve, and exhibit objects of historical value and importance connected with the economic and cultural development of Western Canada and to stimulate interest in western Canadian history. The museums’ vision is a Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter.
The WDM is a registered charity.
