WAG is a typical art gallery in a small city. But it does have the best collection of Inuit Art in the world and that alone makes it worth consideration. Check what visiting collections are in town on their web site: https://www.wag.ca/

An indigenous run restaurant which takes traditional foods of the land and presents them in new ways. The food is excellent and the people friendly. Friday and Saturday nights feature bison ribs in a local berry sauce that is so good they sometimes sell out.
Nice place for dinner before taking in a live music show across the street at the West End Cultural Centre.
