Waskatenau ( /wəˈsɛtnə/ wə-SET-nə) is a village in central Alberta, Canada. It is surrounded by Smoky Lake County, approximately 90 km (56 mi) northeast of Edmonton. Waskatenau is a Cree word meaning "opening in the bank" in reference to the clef in the nearby ridge through which the Waskatenau Creek flows.[3] It is pronounced WAS-ET-NA, with a silent "k."[4]
