Low-Sensory WEGO 2025
Monday, August 25, 1–6 PM
Free event | RSVP required
WEGO is a busy event with lots going on. Recognizing that some children and parents prefer a low-sensory environment, we are pleased to offer a WEGO experience tailored to their needs. This event is free, but registration is required.
This event is free to attend, but registration is required. Space is limited. We kindly ask guests to reserve only the number of tickets they need so we can welcome as many guests as possible.
What to Expect
Low Sensory WEGO will feature adapted programming and a welcoming atmosphere throughout the museum. Visitors can engage with hands-on activities from community partners in a setting designed to reduce sensory input and crowding.
What to Expect
Guests will enjoy hands-on creative activities in a welcoming space, including:
- Ludoland Giant Games (Learning Studio)
- Mr. Eric Live Music – 2:00 PM & 4:00 PM (Riverview Room)
- Joann Morrisseau Dickson – Birch Bark Biting (Gallery Lounge)
- Dance performances – Dance Saskatchewan Inc. – 1:15 PM & 3:15 PM (Riverview Room)
All galleries remain open for quiet exploration. Sensory supports (headphones, fidgets) are welcome, and a designated quiet space is available upon request.

Joann Morrisseau Dickson Birch Bark Biting
Joann Morrisseau Dickson is a Métis woman born at Boggy Creek, Manitoba during the Winter Solstice, under the Earth Renewal moon in a mud and log house. Her parents are Joseph Brazeau and Laurette CHICK Morrisseau. Being born on the land has given her a deep-rooted connection with the elements that Mother Earth has to offer. The birch tree is her medicine plant. Humbled and grateful, Joann says “The Earth is my government, she provides me with what I need. We owe it to her to keep her loved and protected at all times. She feeds my spirit energy, so that I can nourish my gifts to share with you. Thank you Mother Earth and Grandfather Sky.”
