Watrous-Manitou Beach Heritage Centre www.watrousheritage.ca Visit the section of this website referred to as "The Plan" to view progress on plans for the new facility.

A number of interested individuals began meeting in the Fall of 2011 toward the establishment of a Heritage Centre and Museum for the Watrous area. As of March 5, 2012, the Town of Watrous established the Board tasked with preserving the history of Watrous & area, and with the goal of putting up a facility to house artifacts and archives. And so at present the Watrous Heritage Centre exists as an online "Virtual Heritage Centre" on this website, preserving documents & pictures, with the hope of eventually housing them in a brand new facility at Watrous, SK.
