Events Roundup
Oct. 29, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder Mack Male. Mack recommends Evolving Heritage - Working Together on Heritage Places in Edmonton, where you can see that local heritage stretches into living histories, natural spaces, and diverse community narratives.
Evolving Heritage - Working Together on Heritage Places in Edmonton
š
Tuesday, Nov. 3 7:00 PM
š Edmonton Public Library (Stanley A. Milner)
An event to explore Edmonton's new Heritage Places Strategy, which reflects a shift in how Edmonton understands heritage: that our story has always been bigger than our buildings.
Here's what Mack had to say:
"The idea that heritage is about more than buildings seems obvious, but it is surprisingly tricky to put into practice. I'm optimistic that the City of Edmonton's new Heritage Places Strategy will move that work forward, and I am eager to hear what the knowledgeable panellists at this event see for our city's future when viewed through the heritage lens."
