Exciting Improvements at the Fort Heritage Precinct Reach Completion

Posted on May 29, 2018

We are open for tours! For groups of 10 or more, please call us at 780-998-1783 to book your tour slot.

Improvements at the Fort Heritage Precinct have continued in 2017 and 2018.  The parking lot at the Warden’s house was paved and improved with the addition of accessible parking stalls and ramps. Thanks to the new brick-coloured walkways that have been constructed, the site is easier than ever to navigate and visitors with strollers, walkers, and wagons will be able to access all parts of the site all year round. Upgrade work to these new trails is being planned for early summer 2018.

The palisade posts in the fort were also replaced in 2017, and the addition of lights to the trails and entrance and directional signage for the site was completed in the spring of 2018. Many of the accessibility improvements were made possible by funding from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.

We are so excited about these recent improvements and are thrilled that the Fort Heritage Precinct has become more accessible over the last year!

 

"Amazing learning connections were made between our study of past and present and your program. Lunch facilities were great. The games and hands on activities we played were so much fun. So many happy faces to be spending time in jail! The tour of village were also extremely well done. Again, the children were kept engaged and involved. The mock trial was great fun. I can’t say enough about your program It is absolutely fanstastic. Your staff does an outstanding job leading the children."
