The Creston Museum might be all about local history, but you can learn an awful lot about Canadian history while you’re there. Don’t believe it? They will prove it to you — the staff are putting together a special Canada Day trivia challenge!
They have approximately fifteen questions about Canada’s history, all of which can be answered by looking for clues in the displays at the Creston Museum.
Which Prime Minister holds the record for the most consecutive election victories? (Hint: his face appears on a plate in one of the displays.)
Before Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces in 1905, the land they encompass was divided into several districts of the North West Territories — can you name three of those districts? (There’s a map in the schoolhouse that might help.) And you might want to take a closer look at the flag above, because it’s almost certainly going to provide a clue for one of the questions.
It’s a chance for you to show off how much you know about Canada. Take the challenge on your phone (download the mobile app at www.ooklnet.com) or play on paper — your choice. Complete the challenge and enter to win prizes!
Admission for trivia challengers is $2 per person ($5 per family). The challenge runs all day, from 10a.m.-5 p.m. July 1, and the draw for prizes will be made at 5.
