The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) this week announced its 2024 series of heritage talks, called Sharing Our Heritage: Inspiring stories from across Quebec. The talks are free, virtual and open to all who register.
The eight on-line presentations provide an opportunity for people to learn about about the places where they live or where their ancestors lived, along with the province’s history.
QAHN said, “The new ideas, topics and projects presented by the guest speakers are inspiring and thought-provoking.”
