Congratulations to everyone involved with the parade day preparations! The CMMM’s float, consisting of 2 historic grain elevator replicas, and accompanied by musicians and candy-throwers, won First Prize at the Town of Cut Knife’s Canada Day celebrations.
The ‘float builders’ are on a winning streak. Last year, the Museum won First Prize for “The World’s Second-Largest Tomahawk”. Do we dare wonder what they might come up with next?

We are saddened to share that one of our memorial benches at the Clayton McLain Memorial Museum was vandalized sometime on or before August 15. This bench was more than just a place to rest, it was a tribute to John and Janet Robertson and a symbol of remembrance on our museum grounds. Janet was the first tenant of Forest Court and chose unit 1 for its sunny exposure, this unit also has a view of the pond and Museum grounds, where the memorial bench would later be placed.
The damage is significant, and the cost to replace the bench is approximately $3,500. As a non-profit organization with limited income, we are turning to our community for help. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to restoring this meaningful tribute and eases the financial burden on our museum.
DROP OFF: Cut Knife Library during open hours or left with a Museum Board member.
ONLINE DONATIONS: One time or monthly giving available via Credit Card, PayPal, or Google Pay through Canada Helps Charity.
We also encourage everyone to spend time touring the museum grounds and to report any suspicious activity to the RCMP. Your vigilance helps protect the legacy we all share.
Let’s come together to honor the memory of those commemorated by this bench and show that our community stands strong in preserving its heritage.
Thank you for your support and generosity.
