The Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP) is seeking proposals for the development of one Curiosity Walking Tour for our 2026 summer season.  

Our tours are intended to give Edmontonians an opportunity to learn more about local land, culture, and history in a participatory and engaging way. Our interactive tours also seek to build community and amplify lesser-known stories.  

This year, ECAMP will be exploring the theme “Sensing the City.” Inspired by the late Joy Parr’s work Sensing Changes, we want to connect our walking tour participants with heritage through their senses.  How did Edmontonians experience the city in the past? Which Edmontonians have helped people get a better sense of their surroundings? How do different abilities and disabilities shape Edmontonians’ experience of living in the city?  How can our senses help us understand Edmonton’s heritage? 

What your proposal should include: 

  • Minimum of one example of a stop (content) and potential activity at that stop 

  • 5 other potential stops on the route  

  • An example of a primary (historical) source you would use, and 3-5 secondary (books/articles/websites) sources you can use to help write the content 

  • How you will incorporate sensory elements (e.g. smells, sounds, taste, touch, seeing) 

  • Potential partnerships that are worth pursuing in the neighbourhood (should be sites with regular operating hours conducive to tours) 

Please submit your 2-3 page proposal and your resume by January 11th, 2026 to ecamp@edmontonheritage.ca

You may submit a maximum of two proposals.
