I was born here! Growing up what I enjoyed most was the support of the community. My mother was ill with arthritis ladies would come in and help her with everything. I was involved with church events, guides,baseball etc. Businesses helped the community. There was only 1 liquor store.I wasn’t aware of pawn shops,cash outlets?

The Wetaskiwin water tower stood unconnected and unused for a year and a half following construction, as the town’s water and sewage system didn’t actually reach it until 1909. Today it primarily serves the western end of Wetaskiwin – now a city of 12,285 inhabitants – drawing water from Coal Lake. Formed on the Battle River roughly 13 km east of the town, the lake has served as Wetaskiwin’s municipal water supply since 1968, and had its level regulated for this purpose by an earthen embankment and dam in 1972.

“I am a young women, living here with my husband and my 2 year old son. Originially I am from Germany. I was used to live in a city with about 60 000 inhabitants. Since I moved to Canada, particullarily to Wetaskiwin, I have to get used to a small city. Of course there are differences between countries and will always be. But this is an opportunity for you to get some ideas from someone who knows a different lifestyle than it is in Canada. I personally really would like to see Wetaskiwin as an attractive city to the one who live here and to people who come to see it, which it is not!”
