Citizens invited to Pop-Up Museum in West Rossdale
July 21, 2016
The City of Edmonton and Edmonton City as Museum Project are hosting a Pop-Up Museum in West Rossdale. Citizens are invited to learn more about one of our city’s most historically significant areas and to share stories about their connection to this meaningful place.
Date: Sunday, July 24, 2016
Time: Noon - 4 p.m.
Location: Rossdale Community Hall (10135 96 Ave, Edmonton)
Free BBQ provided by Fat Franks
“River Crossing, also known as West Rossdale, is at the heart of our city. It is a place that is historically and culturally significant for many people, and where the history is long, layered, and deep,” said Lisa Larson, Senior Planner, City of Edmonton. “It is a site that has been at the heart of trade, travel, kinship, spirituality, community, and culture for thousands of years.”
The Pop-Up Museum will be an interactive opportunity to not only learn more about this past, but for attendees to also share their connection to the West Rossdale area. Attendees who have a photo or item related to the area are encouraged to bring the items to be shared and displayed at the event.
