Heritage Project Grant 2025

Creating a community-focused heritage project exploring the history and development of Mill Woods.

What is this project all about?

This project will examine the planning, development, and evolution of Mill Woods as one of Edmonton's most significant planned communities.

Through archival research, oral history collection, and community engagement, the project will document how Mill Woods transformed from agricultural land to a diverse urban neighborhood. The research will explore themes of suburban planning, immigration patterns, community building, and cultural diversity, resulting in materials that celebrate Mill Woods' unique place in Edmonton's urban development story.
