Heritage Park Calgary Alberta Canada

The $1 Million Heritage Legacy Builders' Challenge to All Albertans

Make your family's history part of Heritage Park's history with a unique opportunity to record your own memories at Canada's largest living historical village.

By participating in the $1 Million Heritage Legacy Builders' Challenge you can celebrate those precious memories in your family history right in the Park. We have designed a number of exciting and innovative ways for all Albertans to publicly and permanently commemorate the important people and events that deserve to be remembered.

Plus, if you contribute now, your impact will be doubled. Until September 30, 2009, all pledges and donations to the Heritage Park $1 Million Heritage Legacy Builders' Challenge (up to a total of $500,000) will have double the impact. Donations of $500 up to $10,000, will be matched dollar-for-dollar by one of the Park's supporters until the goal of $1 Million is reached. Join thousands of Albertans who are committed to preserving the story of the settlement and development of Western Canada for the benefit of current and future generations. Here are some unique ways you can make your historical mark at the Park.
