CHCA’s Heritage Celebration in May was a huge success, attracting over 400 people from the community to the day’s various activities.
The morning started with Jane’s Walk, a walking tour of historic points of interest in Crescent Heights. The walk attracted over 80 people who spent just under two hours learning about the rich history and interesting backstories of our unique neighbourhood. Special thanks to Adam Schwartz and Isabelle Jankovic for putting the walk together and guiding the group.
In the afternoon, almost 400 people filled the community centre to check out “100 Storeys,” an art exhibit by community resident Jackie Ramsay. People were able to enjoy the wonderful paintings and even learn a bit about some of the houses that were featured in the exhibit. There was also a display of historical photos and information from the early days of the community reminding people of a time when there was a sightseeing streetcar that ran along McHugh Bluff and the Crescent Theatre on Centre Street. A big thank you to Krista Beavis and Alan Zakrison for pulling the historical display together.
The event wouldn’t have been possible without the many hours put in by the CHCA’s Heritage Committee and a group of dedicated community volunteers. Special thanks to Krista B., Brenda E., Adam S., Isabelle J., Simonetta A., John M., Dennis M., Ken R., Jackie R., Alan Z., Blythe B., Elsie R., Damon J., Marie S., and Dan E.
