Dust off your memorabilia and help Sainte-Marie Celebrate !

In 2007, Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the reconstruction and opening of the historic site as a provincial tourist attraction in Southern Georgian Bay and Ontario. One feature of the 40th anniversary celebrations will be an exhibit at the attraction that captures 40 years of memories.

Huronia Historical Parks is hoping the community can assist with this new exhibit. As a past visitor to the historic site or a former employee, you may have a story to share, an old uniform, unusual or interesting souvenir to dust off from your attic. Please consider sharing your treasured items, memorabilia, brochures or memories as Sainte-Marie among the Hurons looks to highlight the interesting stories and activities that took place over the past 40 years. Perhaps it was a visit to the site as a student or as a community resident bringing out-of-town visitors to Sainte-Marie that brings back fond memories.

Please contact Huronia Historical Parks at hhp@hhp.on.ca or 705 - 526 -7838 to let them know if you have any

memorabilia or recollections of seasons past at Sainte-Marie. We look forward to hearing from everyone and taking

visitors from around the world down Sainte-Marie among the Hurons' memory lane with your help.
