Renfrew is full of ghosts - and not only the scary kind. Beneath the familiar streets and buildings are traces of earlier communities, vanished landscapes, neighbourhood gathering places, and the people whose everyday lives helped shape the community we know today.

Join Heritage Calgary for an evening exploring the people, places and wonderfully unexpected stories hidden in Renfrew’s history - from teddy-bear makers and aviators to a local school that once served as an emergency hospital and morgue. Along the way, we’ll consider what, and who, becomes part of our shared history, and how the stories of a community are remembered and carried forward.

Whether your family has lived in Renfrew for generations or you’re renting here for a year, you’re a part of its continuing story. Come discover some of Renfrew’s ghosts, share a few stories of your own, and consider what traces today’s community might leave behind!
