Historic Calgary Week 2010:
I hope everyone had time to enjoy at least one event during Historic Calgary Week 2010. CHI hosted walking tours of 7th Avenue East and West, and we’re already starting to plan for next year. A special thanks to everyone who helped make these tours a success. This includes the research committee: Penelope Arcos, Laura Pasacreta and Kerri Rubman, Our guest speakers: Darryl Cariou, Neil Richardson and David Down, and the Board members who helped as binder wranglers, sweepers and photographers.
Here is a list of upcoming events for the CHI community:
Upcoming events:
August 22 – Final tour of the Connaught neighbourhood with the Lougheed House.
August 19 - CHI board meeting at 6pm to finalize AGM followed by general heritage talk at the Hop in Brew.
September 12 – Walking Tour for the Haultain and First Street Festival. Meet at 2:30 at the Drum stage. Please let me know if you’re available to help. This tour will likely only be about an hour long.
