New Edinburgh Street Fest - September 10, 2022 - 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

Celebrating our Heritage
We are organizing a fundraising heritage fair to celebrate New Edinburgh’s history and bring people together to have some fun! The event will be centred around four venues: MacKay United Church, St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church, the New Edinburgh Park Field House and the Fraser Schoolhouse.

Ticket buyers will receive a colourful souvenir history program telling the story of New Edinburgh. The focus recipient for funds raised from this event will be the Inuuqatigiit Centre for Inuit Children, Youth and Families in Vanier.
