Alberta celebrates classic car collectors
The Government of Alberta has declared July 13, 2018, as Collector Car Appreciation Day to recognize the important contributions classic car collectors make to the province.
Service Alberta officials say the province has an active and vibrant car culture with collector car shows across Alberta throughout the summer. Each show connecting Albertans to the important contributions the automobile has played in the province’s social and economic development.
“Collector cars stir old memories – of our first car, our first time driving a vehicle or going out for a cruise on Friday night,” said Brian Malkinson, Minister of Service Alberta, in a press release. “Thousands of Albertans are collector car enthusiasts. They preserve our history, support our local communities and contribute to our economy by maintaining and showing these classic and vintage cars.
“That’s why we are declaring July 13 Collector Car Appreciation Day to thank this vibrant community of collectors for their contributions to our province,” added Malkinson.
