In addition to learning about Canadian Heritage from the younger generation, we had the opportunity to sponsor and present three students with Heritage Winnipeg Awards. The awards were presented to projects focused on Winnipeg’s built heritage. This year’s recipients included grade 5 École Marie-Anne-Gaboury student Carly Gulowaty for her project titled “Red River Settlement”, grade 5 Crestview School student Kayla Grantham for her project title “Golden Boy” and grade 9 Grant Park High School student Eudora Toews for her project title “Grey Nuns”.
