SO31 – Calgary Heritage Park

SO31 – Calgary Heritage Park
Mr. Speaker, my riding of Calgary Heritage shares its name with one of western Canada’s great attractions – the Calgary Heritage Park Historical Village

The park brings the history of Canada’s West to life through re-creations that chronicle the frontier, from the 1800s to the middle of the last century.

From forts and trading posts, First Nations’ encampments and rail lines, to a replicated 19-Century Prairie Village and the popular ‘Gasoline Alley’ museum ….. life in the West as it was once lived unfolds with the help of 1,800-plus volunteers.

And the park just recently announced a new project to honour the pioneers of Alberta’s oil patch, while exploring the past, present and future of our energy sector.

Heritage Park is truly a grassroots operation, and one that enhances our sense of community. I urge all Canadians to visit there when they travel to Calgary and see firsthand why this remarkable place is rightly called ‘Canada’s largest living history experience.’

Calgary Heritage Park

Recently the park announced a new project lined up with the aim to honour the pioneers of Alberta’s oil patch. It will not only explore the past, but it will also represent the present and future of our energy sector.
Heritage Park is considered a grassroots operation which exists with the purpose of placing emphasis on community. This speech is a call out to all Canadians encouraging them to visit the park when they travel to Calgary and to see it’s such a remarkable place largely known as, ‘Canada’s largest living history experience’.
