This activity is a production of the Mount Royal Centennial Celebration Society.

Team Captain: Wendy Graham

What would be more appropriate for the centennial celebrations than an evening devoted to telling the fascinating story of the town and it’s origins. By attending this event, you will discover how the Town’s history is intimately linked with Canada’s railways , learn about the vision that inspired landscape architect Frederick Gage Todd for his design of a ‘Garden City’ and the elaboration of the audacious urban plan that still characterizes the Town today.
