Women of Aspenland

Every October, Canada celebrates Women's History Month. October was chosen because it is the month in which Canadian women officially became persons by law.

The Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum honours and celebrates the Women of Aspenland as an ongoing exhibit. It pays tribute to the many women who made their own unique contributions to the community of Wetaskiwin and area.

2008's inductees are Mary (Keogh) Christopher, Margaret (Todd) Emmett, Minnie Johnson, and Caroline (Dorchester) Shantz.

Women of Aspenland Presentation Ceremony, October 4, 2008 @ 2:00 p.m. Refreshments to follow. Public is welcome.
