Information was provided about their facility, programs and services. The Museum delegation also verbally invited Council to appoint a member to their Board; to attend their regular meetings and participate in their organization. Additionally, on September 29, 2022 Parkland County received a letter from the Wabamun and District Museum Society requesting a member of Parkland County Council be appointed to their Board.
