Edmonton is more than just a collection of streets, neighbourhoods, and historic landmarks—it is a living tapestry woven from the memories and journeys of the people who call it home.

Join us for a special community gathering celebrating the book launch of The Wonderful Worlds in Edmonton alongside the public archiving for Echoes of Identity: Tracking Filipino Cultural Landscapes in Edmonton cultural map.

​

This unique event bridges the gap between literature and geography, inviting you to explore how personal immigration narratives bring our local landscape to life. While the book captures the emotional and imaginative worlds embedded within our city, the Echoes of Identity project maps the physical spaces, businesses, and gathering places that ground the Filipino-Canadian experience in Edmonton.

​

What to Expect:

• Author & Creator Insights: Hear readings and discussions about the inspiration behind the book and the cultural map.

• Interactive Mapping Station: Explore the digital archive live and add your own voice and memories to Edmonton’s growing cultural history.

• Community Connection: Connect with fellow residents, artists, and local leaders dedicated to preserving our diverse heritage.
