Wanuskewin opens holiday pop-up shop in Saskatoon
- EFN Staff | November 16, 2016
Wanuskewin Heritage Park has opened up a convenient gift shop just in time for the Christmas season. The pop-up location at 704 Broadway Avenue in Saskatoon opens November 12th until December 30th. Those familiar with the neighbourhood will know the address as the former Brain Sport retail location.
“We wanted to make our store a bit more accessible for people who cannot make it out to the park to shop this holiday season. It’s not always easy to make it during park hours and so we felt that this location would be ideal for our customers,” said Andrew McDonald, Marketing Manager of the Park on the decision to move into the city for the season.
The Wanuskewin Gift Shop will offer the unique handmade, local First Nations arts and crafts that are one of a kind as well as Pendleton products, dream catchers, jewelry pieces, Indigenous apparel, moccasins and more.
“A majority of the items we sell are from local artists from around the province so this is a great central location both within the city and within the province,” added McDonald. “We are very proud of the network of artists and artisans that we have developed and cannot wait to share this beautiful work with a larger audience on Broadway.”
