Description:
Part of Calgary since 1913, Christ Church houses important social history. One parish member helped secure the vote for Canada's Indigenous peoples, and another helped make strides in solving homelessness.
With a large, unorganized document collection, the parish appointed a committee to develop a records management, archives and history program. Since then, Christ Church has accessioned seven metres of records, started oral histories and shared monthly articles with the parish.
In this project, the organization will digitize and make accessible 55 years of church records and connect with wider Calgary. Activities include an oral history workshop and interviews with Indigenous peoples related to voting.
