Join the Edmonton City as Museum for two immersive walking experiences this summer! Our Curiosity Tours bring Edmonton’s past to life.
Ukrainian Ties Explore Ukrainian heritage in McCauley and Central McDougall neighbourhoods through sensory experiences—taste traditional pastries, smell connecting scents, and feel handwoven textiles by local artists. Visit St. John the Baptist Cathedral and the Ukrainian Cultural Centre while discovering the enduring Ukrainian presence in our city.

Strikes, Struggles and Success Discover working-class stories of Edmontonians who built our city.
