Subject:
Heritage Kitchener Display for the 2010 Heritage Showcase
The Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation hosts an event each February known as the
Heritage Showcase. Heritage Kitchener has participated in this event for several years.
Participation involves the preparation of a display that Heritage Kitchener Committee members
volunteer at during the event. The 2008 theme was “Work that Endures - Careers in Built
Heritage” while last years theme was “Re-using our Industrial Heritage.”
Earlier this year, we established two sub-committees one being the Heritage Awareness Sub-
Committee. One of the roles of this Sub-committee is to select a theme and prepare the display
for the 2010 Heritage Showcase event. Heritage Canada has released the federal theme for
2010, which is the “Heritage of Sport and Recreation.” This theme coincides with hosting the
2010 winter Olympics in Canada. Heritage Kitchener may choose to work with this theme or
may choose to select another theme.
At the Tuesday, December 1, 2009 Heritage Kitchener meeting I would like to:
1. Confirm names of the Heritage Kitchener Committee members who volunteered for the
Heritage Awareness Sub-Committee (Grayson and James); and,
2. Provide 10 minutes for the full Heritage Kitchener Committee to brainstorm themes (and
any other ideas and suggestions) for the 2010 Heritage Showcase display.
