Wetaskiwin Heritage Museum - all about Wetaskiwin History

Women of Aspenland

The Women of Aspenland exhibit at the Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum

Every October, Canada celebrates Women's History Month. October was chosen because it is the month in which Canadian women officially became persons by law.

The Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum honours and celebrates the Women of Aspenland as an ongoing exhibit. It pays tribute to the many women who made their own unique contributions to the community of Wetaskiwin and area. Besides the annual addition of ladies, the previous honourees are also on exhibit, now totalling over 60.

2010's inductees are Shirley Cripps, Anna Dyberg and Louise Turnquist. The Women of Aspenland exhibit at the Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum
