Thanks to the generosity of the Chestermere Public Library, there is a lovely new glass cabinet in the library that has been home these past few months to a display of family activities that were popular over the past 50 years. This display will be changed about three times a year, and all CHF Members were in favour of the next display using some of the Eaton’s collectibles that are in our artifact collection. Eaton’s was a Canadian department store and catalogue service started by Timothy Eaton of Toronto that served the country from 1869 to 1999. However, CHF does not have enough pieces to fill the cabinet and it was suggested to put a call out to the public who may have items with the Eaton’s label, small enough to fit into the cabinet, and suitable to loan or give to the Chestermere Historical Foundation for this display. The CHF has a loan agreement that would be signed by the loaner or donor, and CHF has a security arrangement with the Library as well as locks on all the cabinets. If you think you might have some collectables or memorabilia to either loan or give to CHF for this upcoming display please contact us through the webpage at www.chestermerehistory.org or call Jen 403 272 3764 or Kay 403 279 1036.
