Canada 150 Projects in full swing
Four projects are underway in the city to celebrate Canada’s 150th.
City projects include the Piper Creek Restoration Project: The Edible Forest, Tim Van Horn’s Red Deer Mosaic Mural, upgrades to Discovery Canyon’s water park area and celebrating Canada’s strong Indigenous culture.
ReThink Red Deer alongside other supporting organizations of the project have secured ,000 to build a 15,000 square foot edible forest. It will include 150 different types of edible, medicinal, and pollinator plants incorporating as many native species as possible. Partners on the project are Trout Unlimited Canada and Cows and Fish (Alberta Riparian Habitat Management Society)
Jonathan Wieler, President of ReThink says, “Well, it’s one of ReThink Red Deer’s best achievements. We are restoring and enhancing a plot of land near the garbage dump that was severely degraded. We are going to plant a hundred and fifty edible trees and shrubs and rebuild a barn that is onsite. It’s pretty awesome!”
Tim Van Horn, a Central Alberta photographer has started a ,000 mosaic mural that will include him taking portraits of Red Deerian’s to assemble the piece. Once completed, Tim’s mural will make a permanent addition to the exterior of the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery.
Discovery Canyon, one of the city’s parks received a 0,000 grant for upgrades improving the accessibility and safety. The park is currently on track to open for the upcoming season.
To celebrate Canada’s strong indigenous heritage, a new cultural housing development along with community centre are set to open soon on Riverside Drive and will provide services to Central Albertan’s.

Another way you can participate in Canada’s sesquicentennial is to join the Canada150in150 project.
This initiative with roots in Edmonton and Northern Alberta is giving virtually every Albertan the opportunity to share stories of technology, the arts, and their communities with the nation.
The project has already started gathering and sharing inspiring and visionary stories and wants to connect communities and cultures across the nation with inspiring stories that recognize the Albertan’s who are doing their part in shaping our nation’s future.
