The Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway
in Rivers, Manitoba
A Research Project
The project contains a series of documents
relating
to the impact of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway on the creation and
development of the Town of Rivers, Manitoba.
Central to the project is a Timeline which provides a framework from
which a series of documents examine various aspects of the story.
Each component is available as a stand-alone module to be adapted for
use on Displays, Posters, Signs, Pamphlets, Booklets, Educational
Materials, and Website components.
Each component comes with a resource file containing high-resolution
copies of photos, maps and other images used in the article.
Presented by The
Rivers Train Station Restoration Committee
The Committee would
like to acknowledge
the support of
Manitoba Culture, Heritage and Tourism
in the development of
this initiative,
through a grant from
the Heritage Grants Program
and through ongoing
guidance and support of the
Historic Resources
Branch.
