Wetaskiwin District Heritage Museum Centre & City of Wetaskiwin Archives

How many cities do you know that have a board game based on it? Wetaskiwin does. It was made by Scouts Canada and resembles the popular ‘Monopoly’ game but with a Wetaskiwin themed twist to it. The game has cards you pick up if you land on a certain spot, money you collect and use as you go along and properties that you can buy. But unlike being able to purchase things like ‘Boardwalk’ or ‘States Avenue’, you can purchase Wetaskiwin businesses and local shops such as the Co-Op, Manluk, the old IGA grocery store and The Wetaskiwin Times. We are happy to know that a Wetaskiwin-based board game was made, but we are even happier to have it in our collection so we can share it with the community. Come play with us at the Heritage Museum!
