Step Back In Time – Presented with the River Valley Alliance

The River Valley Alliance Community Engagement Committee and the Fort Heritage Precinct invite you to Step Back in Time on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM for a family-friendly afternoon of history, community, and old-fashioned fun in Fort Saskatchewan.

This collaborative event will begin with an easy guided walk exploring the Heritage Trail area and its connection to the River Valley trail system before participants enjoy a special tour of the Heritage Village. Along the way, guests will learn more about life in the Fort Saskatchewan area during the early 1900s and explore the historic buildings and stories that helped shape the community.

Following the tour, participants are invited to bring their own picnic lunch and enjoy classic games and activities inspired by the 1900s–1930s.

"Amazing learning connections were made between our study of past and present and your program. Lunch facilities were great. The games and hands on activities we played were so much fun. So many happy faces to be spending time in jail! The tour of village were also extremely well done. Again, the children were kept engaged and involved. The mock trial was great fun. I can’t say enough about your program It is absolutely fanstastic. Your staff does an outstanding job leading the children."
