Watrous Arts Salon, 1967-1981

  • PA 35
  • Corporate body
  • 1967-1981

The Watrous Arts Salon was established in 1967 by the Manitou Chapter of the Eastern Star to give amateur arts and crafts people the opportunity to exhibit their work and receive constructive criticism from judges. It was also an opportunity for the Watrous community to view the exhibits on display and to purchase items offered for sale. The Salon was supported by the Saskatchewan Arts Council and the Department of Culture and Youth.

The show was organized by the Manitou Chapter of the Eastern Star from 1967-1969. From 1970-1981, a group of volunteers took over the organization of the program. The show was held during the week of July 1 every year and consisted of the show as well as seminars presented by well known Saskatchewan artists such as Doris Wall Larson, Norm Dallin, Greg Hardy, Lorna Russell, Elyse St. George, Norman Zepp, Wayne Morgan, David Thauberger, Victor Cicansky, Dorothy Knowles, Paul Fudge, James Ellemers, Lorraine Mallach, David Ross, Hans Herold, Margaret Messer, Rolf Sherick, Menella Todd and W.C. Ziolkoski.

The show averaged approximately 300 exhibits by 135 exhibitors each year and was viewed by over 1500 persons.

Due to larger exhibitions being held by groups such as the Saskatchewan Craft Council and the Saskatchewan Organization of Arts Councils and a declining volunteer base, the Watrous Arts Salon decided to host its last exhibition in 1981.

In 1928, a group of citizens in Regina, Saskatchewan decided to organize a club with facilities for playing badminton. Shares were sold to raise funds for the construction of a four-court badminton club, located at the corner of Albert Street and 19th Avenue. The Wascana Badminton Club began operating in January 1930. In 1934, the executive of the Wascana Badminton Club decided to add a figure skating rink to its existing facility. They approached the Regina Figure Skating Club, which operated out of Exhibition Stadium, with a proposal to amalgamate. An agreement was made between the two clubs and construction began on the new rink. On October 1, 1934, the Wascana Badminton Club became known as the Wascana Winter Club.

In 1941, the clubhouse was taken over by the Department of National Defence and became a recruiting and training centre for the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve. The facility was turned back to the Wascana Winter Club after the war. A curling rink was added to the facility in 1949. In March 1974 the roof of the skating and curling section of the building collapsed under heavy snow. The Wascana Winter Club thereafter ceased to operate and was struck off the corporate registry in Saskatchewan on September 15, 1976. The remaining section of the building, used for badminton, was destroyed by fire on May 4, 1977.

The Wascana Winter Club provided its members with skating, badminton and curling facilities, which were open to men, women and children. The Club hosted annual skating carnivals and tournaments and employed skating professionals to give lessons. The Club held memberships in the Canadian Figure Skating Association and the Saskatchewan Badminton Association. The organization was governed by an executive, including a president and secretary-manager; directors; and various committees.
