CHI will again be doing tours for Historic Calgary Week. Watch here for details. Here is information on the HCW 2009:
Historic Calgary Week 2009
When Calgary’s History Comes to Life!
From July 24th to August 3rd, 2009, join Chinook Country Historical Society as they present their premier program, the 19th annual Historic Calgary Week. With the theme this year, “History All Around Us”, we take a look back at the people who helped establish our city from both in and around Calgary. We also look into our recent history to examine the progress being made in the arts, astrophysical studies, and will have a “Sit-In” to remember our lives in the 60’s.
For these 11 days, history enthusiasts will gather to celebrate some of Calgary and district oldest and most unique stories and treasures. Historic Calgary Week offers over 50 events ranging from community walks and heritage building tours to day long excursions and a gigantic Calgary Herald crossword puzzle contest based on local history.
Join us on walking tours and attend presentations. Hear the true stories and the tall tales; and experience the incredible journeys of our pioneers and the visionaries who helped us establish the history that is “All Around Us”.
All events are open to the public and, with few noted exceptions, are free of charge but donations are appreciated. For more information on Historic Calgary Week or Chinook Country Historical Society, please visit the website www.chinookcountry.org
