Canada Day Brief

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

A GREAT SUCCESS!

July 1, 2023 was the CMMM’s first Canada Day Open House in years, and it was great fun. It coincided with the Town of Cut Knife’s Canada Day celebrations, and Tomahawk Park was buzzing with people, bouncy castles, quilts, and a horse-drawn wagon. More than 90 registered visitors wandered through the CMMM heritage buildings with Board members, Staff, and Volunteers onsite to assist.

Guests were treated to an outdoor Quilt Walk along the walking path between the Duvall House and the Friends of Tomahawk Park bricks. Terri Paziuk, a former CMMM Board member and the organizer of the event, brought together more than 30 quilts from owners and creators in the Cut Knife area, and almost 2 dozen smaller pieces of textile art displayed in the Duvall House. Thankfully, the rain held off until early evening after the quilts had been packed up.

Registered visitors to the Canada Day Open House came from as far away as Colorado, USA, Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario; in Saskatchewan from Fort Qu’appelle, Grandora, Medstead, Saskatoon, and Yorkton; the neighbouring communities of Little Pine First Nation, Neilburg, Poundmaker Cree Nation, Sweetgrass First Nation, Unity, and Wilkie, and local residents of the Town and R.M. of Cut Knife (plus maybe a few from locations missed in the Visitors’ Book).

Remember: Coffee at the Duvall House Wednesdays from 2-4pm.

Enjoy your summer!
