*Notable People Projects


Beginning in 2008, and continuing through 2010, 17 Manitoba Communities have completed Special Places Projects following a format developed by the Historic Resources Branch.  It’s an impressive legacy, a firm foundation upon which those interested in heritage in the 21st century can build.


The Historic Resources Branch is now developing a project called “Notable People” that will build on these successes. The project will build upon the work done in Special Places Projects and be a logical next step in helping communities develop the necessary processes, protocols and products that will lead to a deeper appreciation and celebration of local heritage. It will also put in place the messages and frameworks that will initiate the community into the kind of sophisticated dialogue that defines heritage activity in the 21st century.

*Notable People Projects were developed by the Historic Resources Branch of the Government of Manitoba.

This site is solely the product of Ken Storie, a consultant who will pilot the first of the Special People Projects and who  has worked on many of the Notable Projects.
The term "Notable People" is used with permission.

The site is not an official or complete record of the projects but represents my efforts to develop an online component that will help facilitate additional community input and sharing.
