Links To Information On This Web Site The objective of the Chinook Country Historical Society is "to promote a greater understanding of Canadian and Alberta history in Chinook Country for people of all ages." CCHS, in part, promotes its objectives through:
  • A monthly program of presentations of historical interest from September through May;
  • Historic Calgary Week, 10 days of walks, talks and presentations held mid-summer each year highlighting Calgary's rich history.
  • Sponsoring books and anthologies that highlight Calgary and Alberta’s history

Chinook Country Historical Society is a constituent part of the Historical Society of Alberta. Membership has its privileges. Membership in CCHS includes a membership in the Historical Society of Alberta, discounts at special events, the CCHS newsletter, History Now, the newsletter of the HSA that covers history across the province. The glossy magazine Alberta History is also available to members at a reduced subscription rate.

A recent addition to our website is Kristi's Heritage Corner that will "dig into" some of Calgary's Hidden Historical Gems.

CCHS publishes a quarterly newsletter for our members. The latest newsletter can be viewed online and past issues back to September 2004 are in the Archives.

Chinook Country Historical Society cooperates with several other organizations with an interest in History. Support these Organizations in their efforts.
