Wetaskiwin interestingly enough sits on the formerly known coast of the large sea that covered much of Alberta millions of years ago. This characterizes the city with its sand dunes on one half and silty soil on the other. Named after a Cree word for “the hills where peace was made,” Wetaskiwin is filled with historical culture and activities for all.

The city is located 70 kilometers south of Edmonton. It sits on the junction of Highway 2A, Highway 13, and the Canadian Pacific railroad. Back in the day, it was identified as a stagecoach stop between Calgary and Edmonton. Home to the Reynolds-Alberta Museum and many other history centers, this place fills curious minds with rich experience and offers opportunity for newcomers who wish to experience nature’s best.
