Enduring Interest: the Settlement that Wouldn’t Die

The descendants of those who lived in Victoria Settlement, and members of the communities around it, had an enduring interest in the place. There was a concerted effort to look after the community and people bound together to purchase and protect whatever they could.

The fight for Victoria Settlement ultimately succeeded. The site received both National and Provincial Historic designations as well as support from the Métis Nation of Alberta, and the Province of Alberta.
