MONTREAL HISTORY FAIR

The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network is pleased to introduce Carolyn Schaffer, project leader for our Montreal Heritage Outreach Project. Ms Schaffer, who holds a masters degree in history and philosophy of religion, is a writer-researcher who has worked in community journalism and in the field of heritage tourism. She will be primarily responsible for coordinating day-to-day activites of this exciting public history project, including one-on-one interviews with heritage enthusiasts from Montreal?s diverse English-speaking cultural communities. The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) received a grant of $40,000 from the Department of Canadian Heritage to carry out this project, which will include development of a series of popular history articles for Quebec Heritage News magazine, focused on heritage sites and resources in Montreal that are of particular significance to Montrealers who don?t define their cultural identity strictly in terms of British ancestry. The project will culminate in a day-long symposium and festival to be held in Montreal next spring. Watch for details in the November-December issue. To submit a story idea, or to get involved as a volunteer or participant in the spring 2007 cultural festival, please contact the editor of Quebec Heritage News at editor@qahn.org.
