Wanuskewin Heritage Park

  • Corporate body
  • 1983-

Wanuskewin Heritage Park (WHP) is a non-for-profit, charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that consists of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous members. Six Directors are appointees representing municipal, provincial and federal governments, the University of Saskatchewan, the Meewasin Valley Authority and Federation of Saskatchewan Indigenous Nations. Up to seven more directors are appointed by WHP. WHP is a stand-alone entity under provincial government legislation as per the Wanuskewin Heritage Park Act, 1997. WHP has an Elder's Council that consists of representatives of the Indigenous cultures of Saskatchewan. The Elder’s council ensures that the direction, planning and continuity of Wanuskewin are aligned with oral tradition and authentic Indigenous cultural heritage. The WHP Board of Directors select a Chief Executive Officer responsible for the overall management and operation of the park.

WHP was purchased by the Meewasin Valley Authority in 1983.

Wallard Pastoral Charge

  • SCAA-UCCS-0523
  • Corporate body
  • 1925–1969?

Wallard Pastoral Charge was formed as a new aid-receiving United Church charge in 1925, part of Assinioboia Presbytery, with appointments at Wallard, Reliance and Buffalo Horn. It moved to Shaunavon Presbytery around 1926. As of 1940, Wallard is listed as part of the joint Pointeix-Wallard Pastoral Charge, consisting of Buffalo Horn, Glenvern, Gouverneur, and Reliance. The combined charge appears to have split again, sometime before 1946, leaving Wallard Pastoral Charge with Wallard, Buffalo Horn and Reliance (Ponteix Pastoral Charge retained Glenvern). By the 1960s, Buffalo Horn was no longer listed. The Charge appears to have closed around 1969 (no longer listed in Year Books), though records suggest the congregation continued, in some form.
