The Edmonton Heritage Council has undertaken a number of initiatives that explore Edmonton’s past and present, and look toward the city’s future with the goal of providing Edmontonians a deeper understanding of who they are.
Edmonton City as Museum Project
The Edmonton City as Museum Project tells the best stories Edmonton has to offer, from the perspectives of Edmontonians.
ECAMP sees the city, its people, and spaces, as a museum to explore and engage with. Our team works with community to amplify stories and voices that have not historically been heard in our city’s narrative through interactive and engaging virtual and in-person experiences.
Special Curated Exhibits include And Still We Rise - Black Presence in Alberta, Edmonton Living Rooms, Capital Modern, and Armistice 100.
Historians Laureate
The Historian Laureate Program seeks to engage Edmonton residents by enhancing awareness and participation in heritage through a variety of activities. The term ‘Laureate’ was selected to honour the individual’s abilities to relate stories and traditions in engaging ways, rather than to focus on a scholarly career.
Commonwealth Walkway
The Commonwealth Walkway project is a standalone exhibit expanding 10KM through the North Saskatchewan River Valley. From the Funicular to the Groat Bridge, the Walkway includes paths to the Indigenous Art Park, John Walter Museum and Alberta Legislature and displays 31 Medallion’s displaying Queen Elizabeth II’s personal monogram. At each medallion, place-specific stories live on the Commonwealth Walkway app
