Picture mapping memories of Lacombe to celebrate Canada 150
Residents and visitors in the City of Lacombe are asked to take some time to submit their photos to help create an interactive map of memories to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.
The Lacombe community Memory project is an initiative by the Lacombe and District Historical Society with the partnership of Lacombe Regional Tourism. Executive director of both groups, Marie Péron, said it’s an exciting project.
“The idea behind it is to map the memories of Lacombe, not only of the past but of the present day memories of the community and capture the people and places that make up Lacombe and our community as it is today,” said Péron.
As a part of the memory project there are a number of separate initiatives and activities including some that kicked off just before Canada Day this year. Péron added that the memory mapping project is one of the more participatory projects.
