Featuring some of the best photos from our ‘What does your Wetaskiwin look like?’ photo contest — they make a great addition to any home. Or desk. Pick up your very own calendar at locations throughout the City — including the Library, the Chamber of Commerce and, of course, City Hall.

In talking with people, one of the most common complaints about Wetaskiwin is that “there isn’t anything to do.” While this is definitely a concern, in some cases, the issue might just be about not knowing about what’s going on in the City and surrounding area.

So, the idea is simple — tell us what you like to do in Wetaskiwin.

It can be something easy (eg. ‘Go for a walk in Peace Hills Park’ ), seasonal (eg. ‘The Raw Hide Rodeo’), generational (something for teenagers, families, seniors), funny, boring, really it doesn’t matter — as long as its something to do.

i was born here in the sixties and this town has been home. i am glad everyone is taking the time to type what is on there mind. but what is a concerne here is, if the people on city councel that can do something about the concerns of the taxpayers do not read these blogs as i have, they will not even know that folks in this town are upset and are worried about what has, or in this case, has not happened to wetaskiwin in the last 10, 20, 30 years.

What does Wetaskiwin need?

It is a beautiful, small city with agreat community. We need the CITY to think from out of a box , instead of inside it. Need to be more flexible, so more businesses can move in this city.

I have been here 2 years, and, we have had NO alderman, or the Mayor call and ask, how are we doing. Make people feel WELCOMED.

As a small business owner, it is hard to find employees. If we had better shopping, restaurants, entertainment, we could entice more people here & sustain the shops, restaurants etc. More housing would be needed, more families would supply more workers. It has to start with bringing more people here. We have the room to grow don’t we?
