The WDM is uniquely positioned to bring Saskatchewan communities together by instilling a shared appreciation of our province’s cultural heritage. As the Province’s history museum, we have a responsibility to serve our communities and seek out ways to have a positive impact for the people of Saskatchewan. The Board of Directors serve as Trustees for the WDM on behalf of the community and are responsible for ensuring the WDM fulfils its mandate and mission.
The Western Development Museum is the keeper of Saskatchewan’s collective heritage. The Museum shares the province’s unique sense of place with people for their understanding and enjoyment; recognizing the legacy of the past is the foundation for a sustainable future.
