SWE Highlight - Conditions of competition for the selection of an architect for the proposed War Memorial Museum at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

In 1919 the Government of Saskatchewan promoted a competition for the design of a building to serve as a memorial to the soldiers of Saskatchewan who fell in the Great War, or World War I. The building would have also contained war trophies and records of the province. In the end, however, the War Memorial Museum was never developed.

If developed, the War Memorial Museum would have been situated to the south-west of the existing Parliament Buildings. The style of the building, while left to the discretion of the competitors, should have harmonized with the Parliament Building. The plans for the competition provides a deeper look into how the Saskatchewan Government treated veterans and planned future memorial projects.

The Conditions of Competition for the Selection of an Architect for the Proposed War Memorial Museum at Regina, Saskatchewan, was submitted to the Saskatchewan War Experience by the Saskatchewan Legislative Library.
