All of these locations are in Wetaskiwin, a city of 13,000 people, in Division 11 (1,300,000 people) of Central Alberta's Regional Area (125,000 people), Alberta.

Found some cool locations around Wetaskiwin this summer and figure I'd post em all as one location. Wetaskiwin is a small town in Alberta right next to the most dangerous native reserve in North America and as such there is no question as to why it is in the state that it is. Wetaskiwin has a crime rate equivalent to that of Houston and St Louis while Hobbema, the nearby reserve, has a crime rate higher than that of Detroit and Chicago.

Alberta was once known as the oil rich path to glory, but not in Wetaskiwin.
