The Whitecourt Forest Interpretive Centre was made possible through the support of all levels of government, as well as donations by many companies, groups and individuals.

Features of the centre include a multi-media museum gallery high-lighting the role of the forest in the evolution of Whitecourt; a multi-purpose room and an 70 seat auditorium, both equipped with excellent audio-visual capabilities.

Adjacent to the centre, there is a Heritage Park work-in-progress which is recreating an early 20th century logging town. Buildings, vehicles, tools and artifacts from this period are being gathered for restoration. An old pioneer church was restored and offers weddings in the historic building, surrounded by the Whitecourt forest. Many weddings have already been held in this scenic unique setting. Tours of the Heritage Buildings are offered in the summer. Call the center at 780-778-3433 for more details. For more on Whitecourt's history, click on the Seniors & History tab above or here.
