Wehkwas Durocher grew up in the rural community of Beauval, Saskatchewan. She spent 19 years in her home community before moving to Alberta where she received her Fine Art Diploma from MacEwan University. She later received her Bachelor of Painting in 2016 from the Alberta College of Art and Design.

 

After graduation, she followed her heart back home and completed the Community Economic Development Intern Program from Northlands College. As the Economic Development Coordinator and Asset Mapping Specialist, Wehkwas is proud to support a growing and developing region while promoting our west side Metis communities as a great place to live, work, visit, and invest.

 

Wehkwas enjoys art, swimming, and spending time with her family and two dogs.
