my grandfather, Dr. Verne Pepper, worked at this hospital in the 1930s, I believe. He grew up near Goodwater, SK.
Morgan Brewster Interesting story. Thanks for watching!
Cool story! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Some therapy is still in use today but now there’s talk therapy when the patient will talk to the doctor about why they’re there and depending upon the severity of the illness he or she is cured
I'm here because of ( Rabbit Foot Bill ) an amazing book about wayburn mental institution

Interesting story, i think the real stories are much better then the artists opinions however and should they really be painting and changing such a historically preserved place?
Hi, I directed this project. As the documentary explains, we used a dis-used wing of the hospital for this project. When we began working, this part of the building (the southwest wing) was basically falling down. The fourth floor was close to being condemned. There was no preservation initiative for the Weyburn Mental Hospital, and one of the reasons for doing this project was to draw the public's attention to the site, and why it was valuable. Unfortunately, about eight years after we did the *Weyburn Project*, the Saskatchewan government eventually decided to tear the building down because it became too expensive to maintain.
All of the artistic work done was based on stories we collected from the public on a website, and from research we did in various places across Saskatchewan. The "opinions" in the documentary are based on a significant amount of research. Yes, the artists in this video have perspectives on the site, and this was welcomed in the creation of this work; the project featured the work of 40 artists, so there was a wide array of perspective.
