THE HISTORICAL LEGACY OF OUR ELDERS
I was able to complete my project on recording the digital history of over 40 seniors living in Alberta by March 20 /2018. The age range of the participants were from 65 to 102. I achieved my goal of preserving the historical legacy of these remarkable people for future generations. In trying to make this project intergenerational , I approached numerous other organizations looking for volunteers to participate particularly the youth. What occurred was that many organizations I approached wanted to recruit me for their own projects. I would say that my book was completed by the "Un-organization" that had input from several organizations. The historical legacy book includes biographies on local residents of the Winston Heights Mountview Community, Calgary's Chinatown seniors, the Filipino community, the Vietnamese community, Europeans, and Sikhs. If one googles the blurb.com website and type in "The Historical Legacy of our Elders", one can preview the complete book.
