Jasper Place Community History Project
Ground Zero Productions is embarking on an exciting journey to document the rich history of Jasper Place, and they want to hear from you. This project aims to build a "Community Collection" featuring oral history interviews, videos, and photographs from those who have called this area home.
Whether you have stories from Indigenous ancestors, memories of the first settlers, or even your very first impressions as a recent arrival to the neighborhood, your voice is a vital part of our shared heritage. These stories will be archived and shared back with the community to ensure our history is never forgotten.
To learn more, visit jasperplacehistory.org. If you have memories, old photos, or memorabilia to share, please reach out via email at jasperplacehistory@outlook.com.
