Michael Dawe announces retirement from role as City Historian
After 38 years of collecting and sharing our city’s history, Michael Dawe has announced he is retiring from his role as Archive Specialist (Historian) with the City of Red Deer.
Dawe’s time with the City goes back even further, having first volunteered with the archives in 1970.
“It’s time,” he says about his decision to step aside. “To a lot of people, I’m not that old yet – I’m 61, but you reach a certain point that there’s a time to tackle a few things and there are a few things that I’m going to be tackling. I’m on the verge of some new adventures to try.”
Dawe confirms he is mulling a run for city council and will make his intentions known sooner than later with nomination day quickly approaching.
