The Western Development Museum (WDM) will be welcoming visitors back for in-person programs this year as they will be hosting a number of workshops throughout the summer.
The workshops will start June 26 until August 29 and include a variety of topics for people to take part in.
Topics include:
-Gardening in Saskatchewan
-Wheat Weaving
-Cabinet of Curiosities
-History of Gender Roles in Rock N Roll
-Camping & Exploring Saskatchewan
-Communication is Key
Solange Massicotte, the education and public programs coordinator at the WDM Yorkton, said they are trying something different from what they usually offer this year.
“We normally do camp, but we decided it would be neat to do something like workshops and spread them out throughout the months so that different families and kids can come and enjoy these different themes.”
She said that due to COVID-19, they decided to switch the workshops from the normal camp they hold.
“We figured it would be easier for us to do shorter programs in the afternoon and spread them out throughout the summer because it’s safer, and we can have smaller groups come in,” she said. “We can get more people coming to these workshops in a safe manner.”
Massicotte added that she is looking forward to trying out these workshops and depending on the interest from the community, it could be something that they continue in future.
