Find out what makes these stands so grand below 👀

The Ogema Grandstands were built between 1920 and 1924 by the Ogema Agricultural Society and have provided seating for many events since then!

The Grandstands have had an eventful time since their 100th birthday! Here’s a quick timeline of the stand’s recent living heritage:
🌾 In 2004, the Grandstand was dedicated to Arleene Johnson Noga, an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Player from 1945-1948, who was raised in Ogema.

🌾 In 2023, the Ogema stands were shown off in a Heritage Minute on Mary “Bonnie Baker”, who was in the same baseball league and was raised in Regina. You can watch the Heritage Minute here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUkpdP9Y-k

🌾 In 2025, the Grandstand won a Sask Heritage award in the Conservation of Heritage Places category!

No need to swim when you can just float!

Today’s Key to Cultural Heritage highlight is the Watrous Maintou Beach Heritage Centre. The centre covers the history of Watrous Maintou Beach from pre 1900’s to 2020’s (swipe to the end to see!)

You can learn more about the CBK Radio station built in 1939, button dresses made by Flora Landry Shortt, the Still Standing episode about Maintou Beach, and of course the beach itself!

We’ll have to take your word on it, as we didn’t get the chance to check out the actual beach! Have you been in the Maintou beach water?

Whether you’ve been to Maintou, Watrous, or other Saskatchewan places this summer, we want to see! Submit a photo, video or story to Key to Cultural Heritage to be entered to win a prize!
