2008 Summer Heritage Index

Although Tri-Heritage Summer mostly went as planned, Historical Summer did not. This was likely due to a late start in advertising and the fact that Stony Plain was celebrating 100 years as a town.

Make, learn and share history this summer. You will make history by being one of the first groups to participate in these programs. What you learn can be shared by creating web pages, participating in storytelling and other program activities.
