Hundreds made their way to Heritage Park to take a step back in time and watch history come to life.
“There’s no better place for Heritage Day than Heritage Park,” said Dominic Terry, strategic communications manager for the historical village.
In addition to the park’s regular programming, there was traditional Indigenous drum and dance performances by a group called Wataga.
“Our Indigenous friends were here long before anybody else and have a special role to play when you talk about the culture and heritage of Alberta, so we’re really happy that they can join us,” Terry said.
Kids could also take part in a contest where they fill out a special passport by visiting different areas of the park.
