In Diversity Travels this week, we take you to discover Red Deer’s rich history, its Ghost Collections with famous characters like Francis the Pig, and the origin of the famous Gaetz Avenue.
The renowned bronze art collections, one of the largest life-size bronze sculpture collections in Canada, helps tell the history of Red Deer.
Visit the collection while also enjoying a wide variety of public art and heritage buildings.
Celebrate Reverend Gaetz, one of Red Deer’s early founding fathers, and founder of Gaetz Avenue, cris-crossing Red Deer.
Get to know Women’s Rights Advocate, Hazel Braithwaite, who pushed her way through a crowd of men to exercise her right to vote.
Legends are also part of the collection with Mickey the beaver who made national headlines, and Francis the pig displaying an irresistible love for freedom.
