Downtown Walking Tour: Parkvale at the MAG

Guided walking tours of downtown Red Deer. Historic homes, original businesses, public art, and the stories behind the spots you pass by regularly.

Most heritage walks show you the houses of people who could afford to be remembered. Parkvale is different. It was laid out in 1905 for working people, and the homes still standing there were built by the carpenters, railway workers, and shopkeepers who actually built Red Deer.

This guided walk takes you through one of the city’s oldest residential areas, just east of the museum, and out through parts of Coronation Park and the Waskasoo neighbourhood. You will hear about the architecture, the families who lived in these houses, and what they were doing in the years when Red Deer was still deciding what kind of place it was going to be. In late September the whole route is usually under fall canopy, which does not hurt.

This is the longest of our walking tours, roughly two hours at a steady pace with stops. The tour meets at the MAG front entry at 1PM and heads out shortly after. Dress for the weather, wear good walking shoes, and note that the route follows public sidewalks with some gentle grade changes.

Downtown Walking Tours are free to attend throughout the month of September as part of our celebration of Alberta Culture Days.

An Introduction and Understanding of Canadian Treaties: A Shared History

Presented by: Terry Lakey & Brian St. Germain

This introductory presentation on Canadian treaties will explore historical and contemporary information relating to the numbered treaties. Participants will gain an understanding of our shared past and examine the spirit and intent of these treaties. The Canadian Geographic Giant Floor Map will be used to help guide learning.

Lunch is provided and will be followed by our afternoon workshop:

So you wanna be an ally!

Presented by: Lianne Hazell

Do you know that your personal history and socialization affect your learning and perception of the world? Have you practiced being an ally in the Indigenous community in the past year? What are some of the learning experiences you have had that make you a better ally? What do you need to know and do to be an even more effective and supportive ally?

And…let’s talk about land acknowledgements! Who is responsible for the land acknowledgement? What does it mean and why do we do land acknowledgements? What can we include in a land acknowledgement?

Please come prepared for discussion and maybe even some small group work!
