Mayor's Welcome Welcome to Wetaskiwin - “the hills where peace was made” - The city that offers big city amenities with small town values and lifestyle.  

Situated just 35 minutes south of Edmonton, Wetaskiwin is a picturesque community that offers something for everyone with museums, beautiful parks, outstanding recreational facilities, historical sites, golf courses, fine dining, and shopping.

Wetaskiwin is proud to have several museums in our community including the world-class Reynolds-Alberta Museum, Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame, Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum, and the Central Alberta Railway Museum.  

There are year-round events that include an annual festival, rodeos, farmers’ markets, and a variety of sporting events, that make Wetaskiwin an ideal travel destination.

As our community has grown, we have taken great measures to ensure the past is not forgotten.  As can be seen when you stroll down historic Main Street with its thirteen restored, turn-of-the-century buildings.  

Wetaskiwin is proud of our first-class recreation facilities that offer activities for citizens of all ages.  With over 400 acres of parks connected by walking/biking paths it is a great way to enjoy the sights and sounds of our fair city.

Wetaskiwin also boasts many accommodation options from quaint bed and breakfast locations to motels, hotels, and campgrounds.

Plan to visit Wetaskiwin for a day, a weekend, or a lifetime!   Either way, you will leave Wetaskiwin impressed and planning to come back again – showing once more why Wetaskiwin, the City in Motion, is the best place to be!
