Walking the Footsteps of Early Black Edmonton
Register now (by donation) for this June 17 (10:00 AM) walking tour presented by ECAMP (Edmonton City as Museum Project) and curated by Dr. Russell Cobb.
Black migration from Oklahoma to Edmonton created a lasting (although often forgotten) mark on the city’s culture. This walking tour explores the people and places of that early period of African-American culture in Edmonton. This tour will start outside the Edmonton Convention Centre and wind its way to Commonwealth Stadium. Please be prepared to walk or roll 3 kms. Lunch is provided and an accessible bus will take participants back to the starting point after the tour.

FIRE (Funding Indigenous Resurgence in Edmonton) has been providing funding assistance to Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) individuals and organizations to support projects telling community stories since its introduction in 2021. Through its story collection, virtual exhibitions, ECAMPing Trips, podcast, and other programming, ECAMP (Edmonton City as Museum Project) tells the stories of the People, Places, Things, and Moments that make Edmonton our city. The Heritage Community Investment Program (HCIP) invests funds—provided by the City of Edmonton—into the stabilization, increased professionalism, and innovation of heritage in Edmonton, for Edmontonians. Learn more about our programs and how they help us support the community in our 2021 Annual Report, published in 2022 (more reports here).
