Our Twin City – Ashoro

Alberta first became twinned with the Hokkaido prefecture in 1980. In July of 1986, the first adult delegation from Ashoro arrived in Alberta, and they were soon directed to the city of Wetaskiwin for a visit. After the initial tour and visit, the Ashoro Town Council and Wetaskiwin City Council agreed to continue the exchanges and have further talks of twinning the two communities. The official twinning ceremony and signing of the Wetaskiwin Ashoro Friendship Affiliation Agreement was held on September 15, 1990. The agreement was signed by Wetaskiwin’s Mayor Dorothy French and Ashoro’s Mayor Akio Tomita at Parkdale Park. Since the twinning, there have been many exchanges between the two municipalities. In 1992, the inclusion of students in the exchanges provided the youth of Wetaskiwin and Ashoro to learn and experience the diverse culture of each respective nation. As well in 1992, the Coordinator of International Relations (CIR) position was created. This position provided the opportunity for a local of Wetaskiwin to teach English to children in Ashoro. Wetaskiwin has also dedicated the park where the friendship agreement was signed as The Wetaskiwin Ashoro Friendship Park in 1999, emphasizing the importance and impact the relationship has had on our community. In honour of our twin city Ashoro, the Wetaskiwin Ashoro Friendship Society will be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Twinning our two communities, which will take place at Ashoro Park Saturday, Sept. 19 at 2 p.m. The museum has put together an exhibit on our main floor gallery space to honour the relationship by using treasures collected while members of this community experienced Japanese culture.
