Notes

Saskatchewan Homecoming ’71 was a province-wide tourism initiative organized by the Saskatchewan Tourist Association and the provincial Department of Industry and Commerce. Planned from 1968, the year-long program sought to attract visitors, encourage former residents to return, and involve local communities in promoting their history and recreational attractions. Celebrations across the province included family reunions, parades, sporting events, and community gatherings.

Weldon Welcomes You: Homecoming ’71 documents the local celebration held in Weldon on July 10, 1971. The booklet records the activities of the committees responsible for planning and organizing the event, together with an account of the day's proceedings.
